As the world becomes flatter in today’s global economy, engineers are a key element in the role that a country must play to maintain technological leadership and a sound economy. To do this, the engineer needs to remain alert to changing products, processes, technologies, and opportunities and be prepared for a creative and productive life and position of leadership. The sixth edition of the text addresses engineering ethics, leadership, and globalization and has incorporated lessons learned from earlier editions, student and faculty comments, and the authors’ own personal teaching experience. Some of the changes for this edition include the following: Emphasis on leadership. The four fundamental management functions are presented, but leadership is now first. Additional material on ethics. Increased emphasis on globalization. New reference section at the end of each chapter including websites. Expanded instructor website includes PowerPoint slides for each chapter, test banks and answers. Morse and Babcock’s EM Blog®: A Blog for Engineering Management Educators http://morseandbabcock.wordpress.com/ contains current material pertaining to engineering management and additional reference and project material.
