About Engineering Management at Old Dominion University
ABOUT: ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT AND SYSTEMS ENGINEERING...The Department of Engineering Management and Systems Engineering at Old Dominion University provides its graduates with the necessary skills, knowledge, abilities, and attitudes required to design and manage the technology-based, project-driven enterprise. Founded on the solid principles of systems science and systems engineering while exploiting the tools of management science, The Department of Engineering Management and Systems Engineering school of thought emphasizes an approach to addressing the problems, the design, and the management of projects and complex operations through our concept of Technological Leadership . |
ABOUT: TECHNOLOGICAL LEADERSHIP...Technological Leadership represents a combination of skills, attitudes, and ethics applied to the conduct of project and program management in a technology-based or technology dependent enterprise. Technological Leadership emphasizes the understanding of the context of the project or program in the larger organization and society; it encompasses the immediate goals of the project as well as the goals and mission of parent organization and the users of the product or service which is the focus of the project; it is pursuing what is needed in addition to providing what is asked. Technological Leadership is characterized by anticipating solutions to problems which have yet to be articulated. Technological Leadership is about initiative and achieving goals; it is about communicating to others your vision and goal; it is about motivating team members and higher management to follow your approaches and solutions. Ultimately, Technological Leadership is about recognizing the "big picture" and using that recognition to increase the value and reduce the risks of the project/program for which you are responsible. |
