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.
