It is important to the engineer that he knows what is expected of him so that he may be able to perform his job effectively and efficiently. THE FUNCTIONS OF ENGINEER Since prehistoric times, mankind has benefited from the developments made by engineers. Stone-bladed axe Production of paper Irrigation system Manufacture of cars and Pyramids of Egypt Household appliances Roadbuilding Even as engineers are currently producing solutions to many of the difficulties faced by mankind, much is still expected of them. The production of more food for a fast growing world population The elimination of air and water pollution Solid waste disposal and materials recycling Reduction of noise in various forms Supplying the increasing demand of energy Supplying the increasing demand for mobility Preventing and solving crimes Meeting the increasing demand for communication facilities The function of engineers encompass the following area: 1. Research - the engineer is engaged in the process of learning and using it into usable theories. 2. Design and development - the engineer undertakes the activity of turning a product concept to a finished physical item. 3. Testing - the engineer works in a unit where new products or parts are tested for workability. 4. Manufacturing - the engineer is directly in charge of production personnel or assumes responsibility for the product. 5. Construction - a construction (civil) engineer is in charge of construction personnel or may have the responsibility for the quality of the construction process. 6. Sales - the engineer assists the company’s customers to meet their needs. 7. Consulting - the engineer works as consultant of any individual or organization. 8. Government - the engineer is performing any of various tasks in regulating, monitoring, and controlling the activities of private or public institutions. 9. Teaching - the engineer is assigned as a teacher of engineering courses. 10. Management - the engineer is assigned to manage groups of people performing specific tasks.  THE ENGINEER IN VARIOUS TYPES OF ORGANIZATION From the viewpoint of the engineer, organizations may be classified according to the degree of engineering jobs performed: LEVEL ONE Firms with minimal engineering roles, such as retail companies, engineers will have few chances to become general managers or presidents unless they own the business. LEVEL TWO Firms with moderate engineering roles, such as transportation firms. At this stage, the engineer manager will start to realize the significance of management skills. LEVEL THREE Firms with a high degree in engineering Provides the best opportunity for an engineer to rise to the position of president or general manager. In these roles, the engineer manager must possess strong management skills to be effective. ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT Engineering management refers to the activity combining "technical knowledge with the ability to organize and coordinate worker power, materials, machinery, and money."  MANAGEMENT Management may be defined as the "creative problem solving-process” of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling an organization's resources to achieve its mission and objectives. PROCESS OF MANAGEMENT Seek to find out the objectives of the organization Decide on the ways to be adapted and the material resources to be used Determine the human requirements of the total job Assign specific tasks to specific persons Provide means to make sure that the activities are in the right direction.  WHY IS ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT IMPORTANT? Influences an organization’s financial outcomes. (revenue growth, profitability and operational efficiency). Impacts engineering facilities, largescale projects, clients, workers, and the public. Effective implementation of best practices to lead engineering teams with knowledge spanning the gap between business management and engineering. Engineering Managers serve as the interface between the business and technical sides of a project. Engineers are good at solving technical problems. However, they're often not as strong at leveraging data science techniques to make evidence-based decisions, or leading and inspiring diverse teams with empathy and inclusiveness. - C. Fred Higgs, III REQUIREMENTS FOR THE ENGINEER MANAGER’S JOB 1. A bachelor's degree in engineering from a reputable school; In some cases, a master's degree in engineering or business management is required; 2. A few years experience in a pure engineering job; 3. Training in supervision; 4. Special training in engineering management. HOW TO BECOME A SUCCESSFUL ENGINEER MANAGER? Road to becoming a successful engineer manager is a very long and challenging one. It's not something easily obtainable by chance, although luck can play a role. Achieving this position requires tons of dedication, perseverance and continuous learning. Kreitner identifies 3 general preconditions for achieving long lasting success as a manager: MOTIVATION TO ABILITY MANAGE OPPORTUNITY ABILITY Managerial ability refers to the capacity of an engineer manager to achieve organizational objectives effectively and efficiently. To illustrate: If a civil engineer was asked by his superiors to finish a 100- kilometer road cementing project within eight months, he is said to be effective if he finished the job within the required period. On the other hand, his efficiency is measured by the inputs (labor and materials) he poured into the project in relation to the actual output (the 100 kilometer road). If the same output is made with less inputs, the more efficient the civil engineer becomes. MOTIVATION TO MANAGE 1. Favorable attitude toward those in positions of authority, such as superiors. 2. Desire to engage in games or sports competition with peers. 3. Desire to engage in occupational or work-related competition with peers. 4. Desire to assert oneself and take charge. 5. Desire to exercise power and authority over others. 6. Desire to behave in a distinctive way, which includes standing out from the crowd. 7. Sense of responsibility in carrying out the rou- tine duties associated with managerial work. OPPORTUNITY Successful managers become possible only if those having the ability and motivation are given the opportunity to manage. The opportunity for successful management has two requirements: 1. Obtaining a suitable managerial job, and 2. Finding a supportive climate once on the job.  SUMMARY Engineers are known for their great contributions to the development of the world's civilization. As the role of engineers expands in an increasingly interconnected world, their ability to manage projects, lead teams, and innovate will continue to be critical.  REFERENCES https: Engineering-Management-by-Roberto-G.-Medina.pdf ://www.studocu.com/ph/document/divine-word-college-of- calapan/engineering-management/engineering-management-the-field- of-engineering-management/40931628? fbclid=IwY2xjawFVDVhleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHcJvOvoDfeqwmeK6utFFH6 g4JkGATylIqqSbNssLNId2SbgkOKLwTXL5RA_aem_iBW5g4lGNfvqX4jDss7 Thw https://engineering.rice.edu/academics/graduate-programs/online- meml/blog/what-is-engineering-management#returntotop THANK YOU
