It includes:
• Target
• MIS (management information system)
• Re – Planning
• Decision Making
• Work Life Balance
• Emotional Intelligence
• Service Ethics
• Engineering Code of Ethics
Target

• is the initial tool helps for controlling the entire show

of engineering management. Setting the target based
on estimated forecast will help the connected person
to manage the show without any difficulty.
MIS (Management Information System)

• it is a computer system consisting of hardware and

software that serves as the backbone of an
organization’s operation. It gathers data from
multiple online systems, analyzes the information

semi-structured decisions.
RE - PLANNING

controlling technique which helps the professionals
to attain their goal at the earliest. It is the process of
making choices by identifying a decision, gathering
information, and assessing alternative resolutions
based on values, preferences and beliefs of the
decision maker.

own emotions, as well as the emotion’s of the
others. It is required to curtail the anger
management among the employee and colleagues of
any institution.
SERVICE ETHICS

• Ethics should be important to engineering

management. So, an engineer should make ethical
decisions when confronted with a moral dilemma.
ENGINEERING CODE OF ETHICS

• The professional organizations have addressed the

complexity of moral issues in their fields by
developing codes of ethics. Professional code of
ethics consist primarily of principles of responsibility
that delineate how to promote the public good. It is
intended to serve as guide to everyday professional
conduct of the engineers.
The code of ethics in Engineering
management does the following:
 Shared Standards
 Positive Support to Act Ethically
 Guidance Concerning Obligations
 Motivation
 Education
 Deterrence and Discipline
 Professional Image
Shared Standards

• The standards established should be applicable to all

individuals, in their particular professions. With the
codes of ethics, the public is assured of engineers
with a minimum standard of excellence and the
professionals are provided a fair way to compete.
Positive Support to Act Ethically

• The professionals who act ethically have more

positive support through these codes. A professional
engineer who has the intention to stand by the codes
of ethics can have no harm from immoral
professional obligations, as he can reject smoothly
yet formally. As well, these codes can provide legal
support to engineers who are criticized for living up
to work-related professional obligations.
Guidance Concerning Obligations

• Codes are written in brief yet effective to offer

general guidance to the engineers. More specific
directions may be given in supplementary statements
or guidelines, which tell how to apply the code. If
needed, the assistance is obtained for further
specification.
Motivation

• Codes of ethics, which specify a collective

commitment towards a profession, helps in
motivation for ethical conduct. Actually, these codes
make one feel really responsible and proud to be a
professional thus motivating towards the
commitment one should have towards one’s
profession.
Education and Mutual Understanding

• The codes which are widely circulated and officially

approved by professional societies promote a shared
understanding among professionals, the public and
government organizations about the moral
responsibilities of engineers. These codes prompt
discussion and reflection on moral issues.
Deterrence and Discipline
• The professionals those who fail to follow the codes
exhibit unethical conduct, which is evident from the
disobedience. Such an investigation generally requires
paralegal proceedings designed to get at the truth about
a given charge without violating the personal rights of
those being investigated.
• This might lead to the expulsion of those whose
professional conduct has been proven unethical, which
also leads to loss of respect from colleagues and the local
community.
Contributing to the Profession’s Image

• Codes project the engineers as the professionals of

an ethically committed profession, which inspires
them to work with great commitment and more
effectively to serve the public. It can also win greater
powers of self-regulation for the profession itself
while lessening the demand for more government
regulation.
 SAFETY MEASURES USED FOR
CONTROLLING IN ENGINEERING
MANAGEMENT
Followings are safety measures to
control risk in place of safety:
• Using helmet
• Using glasses
• Using ear covers
• Using hand gloves
• Using knee boot
