Engineering Management is a specialized form of management that is concerned with the application of engineering principles to business practice. Engineering management is a career that brings together the technological problem-solving savvy of engineering and the organizational, administrative, and planning abilities of management in order to oversee complex enterprises from conception to completion.〔http://www.allengineeringschools.com/engineering-degree/all-degrees/engineering-management/california〕 A Master of Science in Engineering Management (MSEM, or MS in Engineering Management) is sometimes compared to a Master of Business Administration (MBA) for professionals seeking a graduate degree as a qualifying credential for a career in engineering management.〔http://gordon.tufts.edu/programs/m-s-in-engineering-management/msem-vs-mba〕 Example areas of engineering are product development, manufacturing, construction, design engineering, industrial engineering, technology, production, or any other field that employs personnel who perform an engineering function. Successful engineering managers typically require training and experience in business and engineering. Technically inept managers tend to be deprived of support by their technical team, and non-commercial managers tend to lack commercial acumen to deliver in a market economy. Largely, engineering managers manage engineers who are driven by non-entrepreneurial thinking, and thus require the necessary people skills to coach, mentor and motivate technical professionals. Engineering professionals joining manufacturing companies sometimes become engineering managers by default after a period of time. They are required to learn how to manage once they are on the job, though this is usually an ineffective way to develop managerial abilities. ==History== Stevens Institute of Technology is believed to have the oldest Engineering management department, established as the School of Business Engineering in 1908. This was later called the Bachelor of Engineering in Engineering Management (BEEM) program and moved into the School of Systems and Enterprises. Drexel University established the first graduate engineering management degree in the U.S., which was first offered in 1959.〔http://www.drexel.edu/egmt/about/history/〕 In 1967 the first university department titled "Engineering Management" was founded at the Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T, formerly the University of Missouri-Rolla) . Outside the USA, in Germany the first department concentrating on Engineering Management was established 1927 in Berlin.〔http://www.vwi.org/hauptmenue/beruf-studium/wirtschaftsingenieurwesen/geschichte-und-bedeutung.html〕 In Turkey the Istanbul Technical University has a (Management Engineering Department ) established in 1982, offering a number of graduate and undergraduate programs in Management Engineering.〔http://www.end.itu.edu.tr/tarihce.html〕 In UK the University of Warwick has a specialised department WMG (previously known as Warwick Manufacturing Group) established in 1980, which offers a graduate programme in (MSc Engineering Business Management ) .〔http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/wmg/education/wmgmasters/courses/masters_engineering_business_management〕 More recently in the United Kingdom, Teesside University's School of Science and Engineering introduced an (MSc Engineering Management ) alongside its engineering-focused (MSc Project Management ). Michigan Technological University began an Engineering Management program in the School of Business & Economics in the Fall of 2012.〔http://www.mtu.edu/registrar/students/major-degree/audit/business/〕 In Canada, Memorial University of Newfoundland has started a complete master's degree Program in Engineering Management (Master of Engineering Management ). In Denmark, the Technical University of Denmark offers a MSc program in Engineering Management (in English). (MSc in Engineering Management ). In Pakistan, NED University of Engineering & Technology, Karachi has been running a Master of Engineering in Engineering Management program since 2005. A variant of this program is within Quality Management. COMSATS (CIIT) offers a MSc Project Management program to Local and Overseas Pakistanis as an on-campus/off-campus student. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Engineering management」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
