Engineering Management Programs as Aids in Moving from Technical Specialty to Technical Management

Article Abstract:

The career path of engineers has moved them into management increasingly early. This has aided the technical growth of the field of engineering management. Results of a study of engineering management programs are reported. Areas covered include titles, characteristics, students, curricula and university- industry interaction. International comparisons are made. Engineering management programs are for engineers not managers. Common characteristics include flexible time scheduling, a blend of discipline, address middle to high level technical managers, and have a problem solving orientation. Tables and diagrams are given.

More profitable cold heading? Think stainless!

Article Abstract:

Stainless steel fasteners are being used with increasing frequency due to considerations such as lower weight, higher strength and corrosion resistance. Heading characteristics of stainless steels have been improved, and improved heading equipment makes it easier to produce fasteners. Important aspects of headed parts are consistency, quality, the right mill coating, and the right lubricant.

You're wrong if you think producibility is a methods problem

Article Abstract:

Methods engineering and producibility engineering are often erroneously used interchangeably in manufacturing. Both disciplines influence what can be made in a factory in the most efficient way. Each of these engineering disciplines are described in detail.
