About the Book

For both upper level undergraduate classes and for graduate degree programs (credit or noncredit) for technical professionals of many kinds. Managing Engineering and Technology is designed to teach engineers, scientists, and other technologists the management skills they will need to be effective throughout their careers. *NEW - Completely updated - Additions on concurrent engineering, teams, Internet, information technology, and creativity. *NEW - Companion Website - Including links to supplementary material by chapter, current software, additional reading suggestions, and PowerPoint slides for each chapter. *Chapters 1 and 2 define engineering and technology management and trace their historical development. *Chapters 3 through 8 describe the functions of management - Planning, decision making, organizing, staffing, leading, motivating, and controlling. The discussion is tailored to the needs of the technical professional, and may be his or her only introduction to management theory and practice. *Chapters 9 through 13 apply the management principles to the specific organizational activities in which most engineers will find themselves: Research, engineering design, production planning, production operations, and in technical marketing and service activities. *Chapters 14 and 15 apply the same principles to the uniquely technical activity of project management: project planning and acquisition, organizing, leading, and controlling. *The last three chapters deal with the career of the engineer or technologist - Chapter 16 emphasizes how to be effective early in the technical career; Chapter 17 discusses the transition from technical performer to technical management; Chapter 18 discusses the position of women and minorities in engineering management, effective time management, and the importance of professional ethics and conduct. *Traditional management functions of planning, organizing, motivating, and controlling - Explored but with an emphasis on the management of technology. *The nature and application of management principles throughout the technology product/project life cycles - Including research, design, production, marketing, technical sales and service, and project organization and management. *The many dimensions and issues involved with developing an engineering management career - Including getting off to the right start, maintaining technical competence, making the transition to management positions, international implications, ethics, and women/minorities. *Management methods and tools - Such as concurrent engineering, strategic management of technology, activity-based costing, and total productive maintenance. *Discussion questions/problems - Reflect current dimensions in engineering/technology management, asks students to apply material to their own professional experience.
