Engg & Management in Tamilnadu

What is Engineering  

Engineering Management is a job that is extremely well-suited for engineering graduates. It gives students all the skills that an MBA would equip with, but tailor it more to the field of engineering and its applications. It is the perfect way for an engineering graduate to make his resume stand out by reflecting both technical and managerial skills. The course trains the candidate to manage both the work aspect of human resources as well as physical resources, by scheduling them out. It requires essential technical knowledge as well as communication skills to head a team. Engineering management has immense opportunities for growth and gives one a much higher pay than a normal engineering graduate would expect. The work done would entail a lot more than an engineer, and thus, the job opportunities come flooding in too for such graduates.
