Title
Welcome to the Canadian Society for Engineering Management
Description
The Canadian Society for Engineering Management (CSEM) had its beginnings as the General Membership of the Engineering Institute of Canada (EIC) representing those engineers who had no affiliation with the either civil, mechanical, electrical or geotechnical societies. In 1990, CSEM changed its mandate in order to focus on the needs of engineers in management. Today, CSEM continues as one of the six constituent societies of the EIC.
The Canadian Society for Engineering Management concerns itself with the wider role of the engineer in society. On the on hand it aims to represent the interests and the roles of the engineer in a multi-disciplinary sense, as a natural leader in the execution of major projects and business initiatives; on the other it strives to serve the needs of the engineers who manage and direct the broadest concepts, policies and activities of an organization, in both the private and public sectors.
Almost half of all engineers enter a management position within 10 years of graduation. Fully half of all registered professional engineers primarily utilize management skills rather than technical skills.
