MBA Concentration for Engineers

<p>I know that these days a good number of engineers go on to get an MBA. Is there a specific MBA concentration engineers usually choose?</p>

<p>what do you mean when you say MBA?</p>

<p>Monterrey Bay Aquarium?
Massachusetts Bar Association?
Married But Available!?</p>

<p>I have heard things about systems engineering, which is a type of concentration in a business, but engineering related.</p>

<p>I don’t know of any school that offers an MBA in “systems engineering”. Usually engineers concentrate on either finance or operations management.</p>

<p>Supply Chain Management as well…</p>

<p>Computer Engineers will go with MIS or Business Intelligence</p>

<p>lol wow I wrote that terribly - lol at responding at 1:30 a.m. Its not an MBA concentration, - its a normal engineering concentration…</p>

<p>If you concentrate in Finance, once you get the MBA then you will almost certainly do things that are not related to engineering, right?</p>

<p>What about marketing? It seems to me like companies would appreciate marketing people that actually know about the products(and what’s doable and what is not).</p>

<p>At an engineering consulting firm that I worked for, our head of marketing and business development had an engineering background. However, our marketing coordinator did not.</p>

<p>Not necessarily. If an investment firm is considering purchasing a manufacturing company, don’t you think they’d want an engineer that understands the manufacturing process help evaluate the investment?</p>

<p>You might be thinking of technical sales. That does not require an MBA.</p>
