The IEEE Engineering
Management Society is concerned with the principles and
application of management to science, engineering, and technology.
The Engineering Management Society represents the interests of those who manage engineering
(including non-engineers), engineers who hold managerial and
strategic leadership responsibilities (even if outside of the
practice of engineering), and upward-bound engineers - those who
anticipate and seek to prepare for eventual leadership and strategic
responsibilities.
The IEEE divides its operations into
2 segments: geographical and technical. Geographically, the
IEEE divides its operation into Regions and the Regions are divided into
Sections. Technically, the IEEE divides it operations into
Societies. Societies are focused on a particular area of technical
interest. Chapters are the intersection of the 2 IEEE
divisions. The specialize technically in one of the Societies area
of interest and focus their operations on a particular geographic area
(Section). This Chapter focuses on Engineering Management in the
Twin Cities Section. The Twin Cities Section is located in Region 4.
The primary purpose of any chapter of the IEEE Engineering Management
Society (or for that manner any other society of the IEEE) is to present
meetings or programs that will enhance the knowledge and background of the
societies membership and that will broaden the use of technical papers at
the Chapter level.
