Managing Engineering and Technology: An Introduction to Management for Engineers

by Daniel L. Babcock

This text explores the traditional principles of management - both the art and the science - as they relate to the engineering and technology professions in general - and to the specific kinds of work and projects engineers are most likely to encounter routinely on the job. It reflects the current re-engineering trend within American companies and the resultant downsizing of middle management, an emphasis on employee teams, focuses on quality and productivity and customer satisfaction, and incorporates new management methods and tools.
