Managing Engineering and Technology
Third Edition
by Dan Babcock and Lucy Morse
Managing Engineering and Technology, 3/e introduces the engineering and applied scientist to the ways in which management principles are applied in the kinds of work they are most likely to encounter. Most notable is the organization of the book
- Chapters 1 and 2 define engineering and technology management and trace their historical development.
- Chapters 3 through 8 describe the functions of management.
- Chapters 9 through 13 apply the management principles to the specific organizational activities in which most engineers will find themselves: Research, engineering design, production planning, production operations, and in technical marketing and service activities.
- Chapters 14 and 15 apply the same principles to the uniquely technical activity of project management.
- The last three chapters deal with the career of the engineer or technologist.
This third edition has been thoroughly updated and expanded in such areas as concurrent engineering, teams, the Internet, information technology, and creativity.
