  • Abstract
    There is an almost infinite number of ways in which undergraduate courses can combine engineering and management. In practice, such courses fall into three main categories: accredited courses with a small management contribution (~-10%), accredited courses with a substantial management contribution (~-20%), and nonaccredited courses with approximately equal contributions from engineering and management (~50%). This paper describes typical courses in each of these categories and, more importantly, how successful they have been from a student´s point of view
