Purpose Statement
The Engineering
Management Handbook provides engineering management practitioners,
researchers, policy makers, and analysts with a singular, easy-to-navigate
web site through which continuously updated, peer reviewed information
and tools can be readily accessed and easily utilized. The EM Handbook
will further provide a medium through which users, subject matter
contributors, and subject matter experts can communicate on items
of mutual interest.
History
At the 1995 American Society for Engineering Management (ASEM) Annual
Conference held during September in Washington, D.C., Dr. Greg Sedrick,
ASEM Member and then professor (now Acting Dean) in the College
of Engineering Computer Science at the University of Tennessee at
Chattanooga, presented an idea for using the Internet as a information
resource and distribution medium for what he referred to as a "virtual
engineering management (EM) handbook." This virtual EM handbook,
once developed, was envisioned to place a variety of EM "resources"
at the ready disposal of practicing engineering managers, engineering
management researchers, policy makers, and analysts.
Oversight Committee
An Oversight Committee, comprised primarily of ASEM members, was
"officially" formed in March 1996. The purpose of the
Oversight Committee is to provide long-term ASEM sponsorship for
the EM Handbook project.
Subject Matter Experts
Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) are desperately needed to act as cognizant
authorities over one or more of the top-level subject topics (see
Table of Contents) to be included in the EM Handbook. The Oversight
Committee is currently wrestling with a list of tentative SMEs,
primarily from academia, but don't let that stop you from offering
up yourself for consideration.
