Engineering Administration ... Responding to the Changing Needs of Industry

Engineering administration through Tri-State University’s Allen School of Engineering and Technology, is a four-year bachelor’s degree program that combines the fundamentals of business administration with a strong engineering program. This is successfully achieved by replacing the senior level design courses of the engineering program with the business core courses. A unique feature of the program is the engineering areas of concentration, which allows you to tailor the program to your own interests by choosing one of the following areas: manufacturing, construction, electronics, or facilities management.

Our senior project course provides real-world interdisciplinary experience for our students. A typical project team will consist of engineering administration, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, management and marketing, and computer-aided drafting and design students, all working together on an engineering design project. Many of these projects are initiated and sponsored by local industry.

There is a demand for technically trained people who can market engineering products to engineers. The engineering administration graduate is ideally prepared for a position in engineering sales or technical marketing. Engineering administration graduates are also ready to begin a management career as a first-line or shift supervisor. Further, engineering administration is an excellent preparation for MBA graduate study.

Engineering administration is at least as challenging a program as any other engineering degree. The mathematics, science, and engineering science requirements are the same as in any other engineering program. As a graduate of the program you will be prepared for a variety of career opportunities: administrator or manager in a small engineering, or manufacturing company; manager or supervisor of a large facility such as a manufacturing plant, airport, hospital, stadium, or arena; departmental supervisor in a large technological corporation; engineering marketing representative; technical representative; or customer-service and sales engineer. In general, you will be qualified for a position in production, construction, marketing or sales with any firm that provides technical services, processes, or products. Not surprisingly, starting salaries of recent TSU engineering administration graduates have been near $50,000.
