Synopsis

Because engineers have a sound educational base in the theory and application of
technology,  they  are  well  placed to play  important  roles  as  managers  in
manufacturing, construction and other engineering industries.

Many  engineers  take on managerial roles during their careers,  some  within  a
short  time  of  graduation.  It is therefore essential that graduate  engineers
have   an  understanding  of  the  basic  principles  of  management  and  their
application in engineering organisations.

Graduates also need an appreciation of the social environment within which  they
will  practice, particularly those aspects of the law and ethics  pertaining  to
the engineering profession.
