Course Objectives: | This course aims to present the differences between engineering, basic sciences, functions of engineering concepts and management. It also emphasizes the role of engineering management in the socio-economic system and significance of design in engineering management. In addition, entrepreneurial features are introduced and the entrepreneurial characteristics of the students will be improved. The course also provides information on creative and innovative company cultures and approaches, and discusses the factors that trigger and impede innovation in firms through real examples. The course also aims to provide information about the ethical responsibilities of engineers in professional life. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; The students who have succeeded in this course; 1. Distinguish the basic concepts, theories, methodologies and applications of the Engineering Management profession, 2. Understand and implement theories to analyze past and present issues of the profession, 3. To be able to provide the formation and management of creative and innovative activities in companies, 4. Describe and apply the conceptual framework of entrepreneurship, its approaches and cultures, 5. Identify the relationship between engineering profession and societal norms. 6. Develop an understanding of academic and professional ethical responsibility, 7. Recognize multilateral processes in between individual, state, civil society, institutions and organizations. |
The topics of this course can be divided into 3 subsections. In the first subsection we will focus on the functions of technology management. These functions include planning, decision making, organizing, leading people, entrepreneurship, innovation and controlling. In the second section we will discuss how we can manage technology through product life cycle. In this section we will focus on the management of research-development functions, planning and managing production process, marketing and services activities. In the third section we will focus on engineering ethics concepts, responsibilities and rights of engineers and finally managing individual engineering careers. |
