Engineering Management BS

<p>Does anyone have any insight about Engineering Management programs at the undergraduate level? Would it be a godd idea? A lot of schools offers Masters degree programs in Engineering Management, but there are very few undergraduate programs.</p>

<p>It’s a waste of time. Imagine you have a BS in engineering and have been working for 5 years at Company X. Now imagine Company X hires a fresh college graduate with just a BS in engineering management with no engineering degree or experience to manage your team. How would you feel? Do you think your team would be effectively managed? Company X wouldn’t make that hire because it would never work.</p>

<p>hi bone: Now I know why there are so few programs. For managing engineers, a company will send one of its own engineers to get an MBA.</p>

<p>Ditto.</p>

<p>Engineering Management and Systems Engineering degrees are better suited as graduate/master degree majors because those areas are for EXPERIENCED engineers. Basically, the M.S./M.Eng in Engineering Management is an MBA-lite program to give that practicing engineer-going-to-management knowledge areas like accounting, finance, cost analysis, management, economics to apply to a 3-4 course engineering area.</p>

<p>Systems engineering focuses on the end-to-end processes to produce an engineered product. You will focus on the areas of Requirements, Design, Development, Testing/Verification, Deployment and Sustainment of an engineering product (Product = airplane, ship, computer hardware, computer software, radar/satellite, chemical process/product, etc).</p>

<p>Engineer management BS: the name says it all :-D</p>

<p>^ hahahaha</p>

<p>A guy I know has an Engineering Management BS from West Point. He is currently in the ISE program with me getting a PhD. His focus is System analysis and optimization and he will go back and teach at West Point after he completes the program.</p>

<p>Heyyy is it reasonable to major in engineering and simultaneously minor in digital arts?</p>

<p>^

  1. Start a new thread so you can get an answer.
  2. Simultaneously? As apposed to at a later time?</p>

<p>Try industrial engineering or operations research</p>
