{{Short description|Overview of management in engineering}}

'''Engineering management''' is the application of engineering methods, tools, and techniques to business management systems. Engineering management is a career that brings together the technological problem-solving ability of [[engineering]] and the organizational, administrative, legal and planning abilities of [[management]] in order to oversee the operational performance of complex engineering-driven enterprises.  

Universities offering bachelor degrees in engineering management typically have programs covering courses such as engineering management, project management, operations management, logistics, supply chain management, programming concepts, programming applications, operations research, engineering law, value engineering, quality control, quality assurance, six sigma, safety engineering, systems engineering, engineering leadership, accounting, applied engineering design, business statistics and calculus. A [[Master of Engineering Management]] (MEM) and [[Master of Business Engineering]] (MBE) are sometimes compared to a [[Master of Business Administration]] (MBA) for professionals seeking a graduate degree as a qualifying credential for a career in engineering management.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://gordon.tufts.edu/programs/m-s-in-engineering-management/msem-vs-mba|title=MSEM vs. MBA - Gordon Institute|access-date=2015-05-26|archive-date=2016-12-23|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161223181007/http://gordon.tufts.edu/programs/m-s-in-engineering-management/msem-vs-mba|url-status=dead}}</ref>
