A listing of all useful tools, equipment, and projects developed and produced
by engineers will be sufficient to produce volumes of books. These
contributions indicate that engineers have become and indispensable segment
of the world’s professions. This expectation will continue for a long time.

MANAGEMENT DEFINED
Since the engineer manager is presumed to be technically competent in
his specialization, one may now proceed to describe more thoroughly the
remaining portion of his job, which is management.
NATURE OF MANAGEMENT
The meaning of management has been different for different people.
Some consider it as a science because of its proven and experimented
MANAGEMENT AS AN ART
Art is the ability to apply knowledge & skill in order to attain the desired
results. It is a personalized application of basic theoretical principles for
achieving best possible results. For example, an ability of a tailor to shape a
piece of cloth into a well-stitched dress is an art. Similarly, a sculptor with
his/her art can transform a rock piece into a beautiful idol.
1. Creativity
2. Practical/industry knowledge
3. Personal skills
4. Ability to improve through constant practice
5. Result oriented approach
MANAGEMENT AS A SCIENCE
Science is a systematic body of knowledge pertaining to a specific field of
study that contains general facts which explains a phenomenon. It ascertains
relationship between the cause and effect of two or more variables and
emphasizes the principles which govern their relationship. Scientific methods
of observation and verification through testing lead to the development of these
principles.
For example, while a tailor can shape a piece of cloth into a dress,
he/she has to follow some predefined principles. Thinking of the design is the
art of the tailor and using that art is science based on various principles. And
these principles are accepted and applied universally. So, management is a
Science.
The ancient saying, “Managers are Born” has been discarded in favor of
“Managers are Made”. It has been remarked aptly that management is the
oldest of art and youngest of science, which is perfectly true.
MANAGEMENT AS A PROFESSION
Profession is an occupation or a job done by any individual, who is well
aware of delivering personal services to the people with expertise. To practice a
profession, an individual must have acquired certain academic qualifications
and training in the related field. In addition, a professional is required to follow
the ethical code of conduct of an organization.
For our purpose, we shall designate the following four as the functions of
a manager: planning, organizing, directing (or leading), and controlling.
Planning
Planning is selecting the best course of action so that the desired result
may be achieved. It is the most fundamental and the most pervasive of all
management functions. If people working in groups have to perform effectively,
they should know in advance what is to be done, what activities they have to
perform in order to do what is to be done, and when it is to be done. Planning
is concerned with 'what', 'how’, and 'when' of performance. It is deciding in the
present about the future objectives and the courses of action for their
achievement. It thus involves:
Organizing
Leading
a. Communication
b. Motivation
c. Leadership
Controlling
human requirements of the total job, assign specific tasks to specific persons,
motivate them, and provide means to make sure that the activities are in the
right direction.
It is very important for the engineer manager to know the various factors
leading to successful management.
support that you are campaigning for will show your staff that you truly
care about their development and that will motivate them to work hard for
you.
ABILITY
Managerial ability refers to the capacity of an
engineer manager to achieve organizational
objectives effectively and efficiently.
To illustrate:
MOTIVATION TO MANAGE
Many people have the desire to work
and finish specific tasks assigned by
superiors, but not many are motivated to
manage other people so that they may
contribute to the realization of the
organizations objectives.
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. There are many areas where their presence is necessary
like research, design and development, testing, manufacturing, construction,
sales, consulting, government, teaching, and management.
