WHAT IS ENGINEERING
MANAGEMENT?

ENGINEERING
MANAGEMENT CLASS 1
ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT?
• Engineering Management combines engineering
principles with management practices to efficiently
plan, design, and execute projects and products.

• It involves overseeing teams, resources, budgets,


schedules, and ensuring quality control and
compliance with regulations.

• Key aspects: leadership, strategic planning, cost


management, project management, and supply chain
management.

ENGINEERING
MANAGEMENT CLASS 1
Example: Engineering Management in Mechanical Engineering can
be seen in the development and production of a new consumer
product, such as an electric car or a robotic arm.
Project Initiation & Planning:
Objective: The company decides to develop a new electric car model
with improved battery efficiency and a sleek design.

Engineering Management Role:


The Engineering Manager oversees the creation of a project plan,
which includes design requirements, budget estimates, resources,
timelines, and risk assessments.

Responsibilities:
Create detailed timelines with deadlines for each phase. Allocate
resources (teams, tools, equipment).Conduct feasibility studies to
evaluate technical and financial viability.
DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT PHASE

Mechanical engineers work on the design of the car’s body,


internal structure, engine, and energy-efficient systems.

Engineering Management Role:


The Engineering Manager ensures that the design meets the initial
project objectives, including cost constraints, quality standards,
and safety regulations.

Responsibilities:
Oversee coordination between teams (design, electrical
engineering, and software).Approve initial design drafts.

Ensure the design incorporates feedback from stakeholders (e.g.,


marketing, customer feedback, regulatory bodies).Track progress
MANUFACTURING & PROTOTYPING:

After design validation, a prototype is built, tested, and evaluated.

Engineering Management Role:


The Engineering Manager plays a critical role in overseeing the
manufacturing process, ensuring that it stays on schedule, and the
production quality is consistent with the design specifications.

Responsibilities:
Coordinate with the manufacturing team to ensure effective
production methods.

Troubleshoot issues related to cost, material supply, or production


delays.
Monitor quality control to prevent defects during manufacturing.
TESTING & QUALITY ASSURANCE:

The prototype undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets


performance, safety, and environmental standards.

Engineering Management Role: The Engineering Manager leads the


process of ensuring that testing meets all required specifications,
and identifies any problems that need to be addressed before mass
production.

Responsibilities:
Ensure that testing equipment and methods are effective.Oversee
quality assurance procedures to test functionality, safety, and
efficiency.

Analyze results, identify defects, and ensure corrective actions are


PRODUCTION LAUNCH & POST-PRODUCTION:

The final product is launched to the market, and ongoing support


and maintenance are provided.

Engineering Management Role: The Engineering Manager oversees


the transition to large-scale production and coordinates the after-
sales services such as maintenance and upgrades.

Responsibilities:
Manage the transition to full-scale production.
Ensure that the production capacity matches demand.
Monitor product performance and customer feedback.
Organize the maintenance and repair systems for customers post-
launch.
TAKEAWAYS

The Engineering Manager is responsible for coordinating between


different engineering disciplines (mechanical, electrical, software),
ensuring the project stays on time, within budget, and meets the
company's quality standards.

Project management skills such as resource allocation, budgeting,


risk management, and communication with stakeholders are
critical.

The ability to make decisions based on both technical knowledge


and business acumen is essential for the success of the project.
WHY IS ENGINEERING
MANAGEMENT IMPORTANT
FOR MECHANICAL
ENGINEERS?

ENGINEERING
MANAGEMENT CLASS 1
• As future mechanical engineers, you will often be tasked with
leading projects, managing teams, and making decisions that
affect both technical and business outcomes.

• Mechanical engineering projects require careful coordination


across various departments (design, manufacturing, testing,
etc.), and an understanding of management helps you navigate
these complexities.

• The ability to manage resources, timelines, and customer


expectations is crucial in delivering successful engineering
solutions.
