Technology is evolving faster than the tools to manage it. Over the last 40 years, three new disciplines have evolved to meet this challenge of managing the concepts, development, sale, management, and life cycle of technology services, systems, infrastructures, and enterprises. Systems Engineering is the concept, building, testing, and presenting new technology to market. Technology Management is the maintenance, repair, and operations of products and services taken from the market. Engineering Management is the oversight to assure that the products and services built and sold meet the needs of the customers that purchase them. This triumvirate of disciplines act as checks and balance ensuring quality products of advancing technology of the highest quality to continue to raise the standards of living for the world.
Our speaker is Dr. Thomas J. Day. Dr. Day has been an Engineering Manager, managing technology programs and projects, both Federal and in private industry, for over 37 years. Starting his career as a day laborer, he worked full time while going to school, eventually becoming the first Ph.D. in Engineering Management ever conferred at the Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, NJ.
