Definition of Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management
Industrial engineering and Engineering Management is "the technical
and human aspects of quality and
productivity". Another definition is "the design of complete productive
processes". The second definition
differentiates Industrial from other branches of engineering which
tend to concentrate on the design of things,
or on parts of a productive process. IE by contrast considers the entire
productive activity. Table 1 gives an
official definition from the Institution of Engineers, Australia. All
businesses need high calibre people who
can consider the productive system comprehensively and who can design
systems which can increase
productivity and make products of higher quality. Industrial engineering
and Engineering Management is
specifically aimed to be training for such tasks.
Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management is the technical and
human aspects of quality and
productivity. Official Australian definition: "Industrial engineering
and Engineering Management is the
engineering discipline concerned with the planning, organising and
operation of industrial facilities and
processes for the economic, safe and effective use of physical
and human resources. Industrial engineering
and Engineering Management is applied design for the integration of
material, human and financial resources,
and of production sequences and methods, optimum flows and layouts,
and of work methods and procedures,
labour organisation, and in economic evaluation of facilities, processes
or techniques. Specific expertise areas

Northwestern
University / Master of Engineering Management Program
The MEM program prepares people currently working in engineering, research
and development and related
fields for increased responsibility in engineering management. Northwestern's
approach blends the basics of
management (accounting,economics, finance and marketing), quantitative
analysis (operations research,simulation,
systems theory and statistics) and behavioral science (organization
theory and social systems) with engineering
electives in the student's area of interest. With courses scheduled
mainly in the evening, the MEM program is designed
for part-time students. The program requires 12 courses for a master's
degree and allows credit for previous graduate
work.
Mission: The Master of Engineering
Management Program will provide opportunities for working engineers and
other technically trained personnel to advance into positions of greater
managerial and/or technical responsibility in order to enhance their careers
by providing an advanced education of the highest quality in an accessible
and convenient format.
The MEM Program is a part-time Master's program, that also may be done
as a full-time student, that specifically addresses the issues involved
in the management of technology, engineering and other technical activities.
This program provides an integrated approach to the management of product
technology, process technology, and information and telecommunications
technology, with further opportunity to specialize in any of these areas.
Who is it For?
The MEM Program is designed to provide working technical professionals
the training necessary to thrive in the
increasingly complex managerial environment of today's technology-based
organizations. Unlike a graduate degree in an
area of technical specialty, the MEM degree offers the
practical business perspective needed by technical managers.
Unlike traditional MBA programs, the MEM Program emphasizes skills
specifically required in technology-based
organizations, such as project management, manufacturing, information
systems, telecommunications, and encourages
students to build upon their technical backgrounds. The mix of
management concepts and technical focus is intended to
enable engineers to assume leadership positions in technical management.
Educational Philosophy
The strength of the MEM Program is in its multi-disciplinary approach
toward the development of well-rounded technical
managers. The curriculum blends business basics, quantitative
methods, and behavioral science in a practical
problem-solving framework. This provides an environment in which
students learn basic management concepts,
language, methodology, and skills in a scientific-technical environment
-- knowledge that would otherwise require years
of experience and individual study to acquire. Most courses make
extensive use of a discussion format, which takes
advantage of the consulting, research, and work experience of the faculty,
as well as the practical work experience of the
students.

Management Program
The Engineering Management Program is a graduate program in the College
of Engineering at the University of New Orleans. The program is intended
for engineers who wish to remain in their engineering area of expertise
but need to improve their managerial skills and their understanding of
business practices. In the highly competitive environment of today, these
additional skills have become a necessity. The program was developed after
assessing the needs of practicing engineers through a questionnaire and
interviews. The program incorporates the recommendations of industry as
expressed in the questionnaire. The resulting program provides not only
the required core courses in engineering management but allows for selecting
electives in the student's area of engineering expertise or traditional
management courses.
Non-thesis Option: Completion of 33 credit hours including 18 credit
hours of required core courses and 3 credit hours for a
capstone course. The remaining 12 credit hours must be selected from
approved electives.

University
of Kansas / Engineering Management Program
At the Intersection of Management andTechnology
Mission: The mission of the Master
of Science in Engineering Management (EMGT) program is to prepare technical
managers from fields of engineering, science, math and computer science
to manage more effectively within
technologically-based organizations and to promote entrepreneurial
activities in the formation of new business
enterprises.
The EMGT program integrates management with technology by focusing
on three dimensions.
TECHNICAL: an understanding of and proficiency in engineering and science.
HUMAN: the ability to build a collaborative effort within a group.
CONCEPTUAL: the ability to apply analytical thought to the management
process and to enterprise as a total system.
Why a Graduate Program in Engineering Management?
Surveys show that 40 to 50 percent of engineers from ages 25 to 45
hold engineering-management responsibility.
The scope and complexity of their responsibilities have changed dramatically
during the past 10 years.
Stiff competition in the marketplace and the need to eliminate the
trade and service deficit have put an emphasis on technology. It is the
source of new products and improved productivity in manufacturing and service
delivery.
Today's engineer-manager simply must incorporate technological innovation.
Today's engineer-manager also must
satisfy design and safety requirements, manage human resources to boost
productivity, use natural resources efficiently, stay on top of other
environmental concerns and emphasize total
quality in operations. To meet these challenges, engineers require
better education and training in technology
management. Precisely these needs led in 1982 to the development of
the Master of Science program in Engineering Management at the KU School
of Engineering.
Courses
and Descriptions
University
of Idaho at Idaho Falls / MS in Engineering Management
It has long been recognized that engineers who move from technical specialties
to technical management responsibilities need additional management education.
Two out of three engineers are spending the last two thirds of their careers
as managers. Basic management principles have become a valid interest for
all engineers as involvement in some level of managerial responsibility
is an inevitable component of most engineering careers. A substantial improvement
in
engineers' managerial skills can be provided in a formal education
process, preferably undertaken after the engineer's first exposure to management
challenges in the workplace.
Employers are prepared to pay attractive salaries to an engineer with
appropriate managerial skills. The Engineering Management program of the
University Of Idaho is designed to provide the information that is needed
by a practicing engineer who is moving into management positions in technical
organizations. This career preparation allows the engineer to remain in
professional engineering practice and yet be prepared to handle management
responsibilities in a technical
environment. By using the diverse faculty resources, the program offers
the opportunity to explore the human resource, technical, and analytical
aspects of management.
