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.
