Because modern industry requires managers who are fluent in technology and also engineers who understand business, Engineering Management schools train students in both areas. Core studies in engineering and business subjects can be applied to many different types of employment and create opportunities to work in a number of different businesses.
Many Engineering Managers work in manufacturing. You can also train to work in areas as diverse as Environmental Engineering, participating in projects to improve water and air quality, or Plant Engineering, with responsibility for the installation of equipment in industrial settings.

Your duties would include managing people with differing types of expertise, and coordinating their input to bring engineering projects to a successful conclusion. You would use your good communication skills to ensure that your team worked well together, and your trained business abilities to manage projects within timescales and budgets.
