Engineering managers combine their expertise in engineering with management knowledge to lead team of specialists in highly technical areas. Most engineering managers focus on product development, materials management, production processes and workforce reliability. They supervise engineers, scientists and technicians along with support personnel.
Engineering managers use their varied knowledge in order to overall manage a highly technical project. They determine the specific technical and scientific goals within broad outlines provided by top executives. These goals may include improving the manufacturing process or advancing scientific research to realize a project. Engineering managers also make detailed plans to reach these set goals. They may develop methodologies and plans to oversee the completion or launch of a new engineering product or may weed out problems plaguing a particular project.
JOB OUTLOOK : According to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, opportunities for engineering managers should be better in rapidly growing areas of engineering, such as environmental and biomedical engineering, than in more slowly growing areas, such as electrical and mechanical engineering. Engineers and scientists with advanced technical knowledge and strong communication skills will be in the best position to become managers. Because engineering and natural sciences managers are involved in the financial, production, and marketing activities of their firm, business management skills are also advantageous for those seeking management positions.
