Abstract :
A review is presented of the early years in the engineering management field, and market demands and curricula of the future for this field are forecast. A survey made by the author of over one-hundred employers of engineers to determine the academic and experiential know-how desired for engineers over the next ten, or more, years is described and discussed. Management expertise is a major parameter of the survey, and the author´s personal experience during the pioneer period of engineering management is perceived to be beneficial in interpreting data derived from the ongoing marked survey. Although the survey is not complete, early responses reveal a serious difference in the views of employers contrasted with those traditionally held by educators of the job which graduates of engineering management programs can fill
