Some keypoints of Engineering Management Topics that we learnt in the first week are:
- We had a seminar on online activities. We have covered many things for online activities in this session
- A proper description of Engineering (old definition and modified ABET definition)
- Identifying engineering as a profession and not an art
- Description of Management
- Description of Engineering Management
- Some important facts about engineers and managers
- Definition of Systems as a whole
- Definition of Engineering Systems
- Definition of Management Systems
- Description of 9 elements of a system namely inputs, outputs, interfaces, constraints, boundary, goal of system (common output), components (subsystems), interralations, and environment
- System analyst approach to engineering problems
- 3 system errors namely a) Goal Displacement b) Functional Distortion c) Functional Distraction
- 3 Management Levels (1st level, midlevel and top level management) their titles and roles
- Skills required for different management levels (interpersonal skills, technical skills and conceptual or analytical skills)
- Skills needed by different level of managers
- Difference between effectiveness and efficiency
- Difference between leader and manager
- Clarifying ‘doing the right things’ and ‘doing the things right’ with regard to leader and manager
- Managers’ roles to be played at different levels: Interpersonal roles (figurehead role, leadership role, and liaison role), Informational roles (Monitoring role, Disseminator role, and Spokesman role), and finally most important roles namely Decisional roles (entrepreneurial role, negotiator role, resource allocator role, and disturbance handling role)
- Now we have to take Course Entry Exam (which will be closed within week)
- We have also Quiz (Introduction to Engineering Management), Forum 1: Introduction to Management (Graded), and Engineering Management Puzzle opened starting from this week.
I hope it will be helpful.

Mr. Yasser Matbouli, one of my former engineering management students came for submitting his Summer Training report. When I received his report, I was shocked because it was not following any format in our university. It was written by a blog writer. He carefully noted all his activities as blog entries in his report with the dates and subjects. It was very interesting idea and I suggested him to rearrange everything according to our Engineering College format but also put what he had at the end of his report.
I congratulate him and give him a link as my vote for his site. You can visit him from http://www.ymatbouli.com/
