Is MBA After ENGINEERING A Good Option?

[This is an article by a Narsing Brahapure from LinkedIn. Not all engineers/technicians want to be managers. But for those who see themselves reaching progressively responsible positions in their careers, it is naturally a very good fit to complement your technical expertise as one progress up the organization. In fact MBA programs are created and intended for technical people. From the Wikipedia "The MBA degree originated in the United States in the early 20th century when the country industrialized and companies sought scientific approaches to management. The core courses in an MBA program cover various areas of business such as accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and operations in a manner most relevant to management analysis and strategy. Most programs also include elective courses". The proof of this is in the application and I think I can attest to this.]

Bachelor Of Engineering + MBA is a lethal combination to have for the Corporate World.

Generally, it's because engineers tend to take on management roles the longer they're working. Engineering education doesn't tell you much of anything about how business works, just technical stuff, and so several companies have found it's actually even cost-effective to pay for their engineers to go back to school and get MBAs after working for them a little while.

I don't think I'd want someone who wasn't trained as an engineer doing engineering work. You're probably thinking that they just become like everyone else with an MBA, and they don't, the majority of what these people are going to be doing fresh off an MBA is still definitely needing the engineering background. (A lot of my former engineering classmates seem to be getting MBAs now, and what they often do all day is keep various types of manufacturing processes running (want to try that one with an accounting or marketing undergrad degree?). The additional business background just does things like keeps them from ending up with the job done but having a bunch of metaphorical dead bodies on the floor to step over at the end of the day because business aspects weren't factored into the engineering analysis.

An engineering degree will teach you how to apply your knowledge practically. An MBA degree will teach you how to manage people with engineering degrees, who are going to be working for you.

Engineers joining management give multitasking ability for engineers. For example if an engineer has done MBA for acquire management skills, get job in technical department of any company. That engineer can also handle management responsibility as well. This helps to increase their salary package, so national economy as well. In the competitive market scenario companies require multitasking employees.

This is one of the reasons for engineers joining management. After joining management, engineer's technical skills leaved behind, it is a myth. Engineers joining management are not a national waste. It is an advantage for our nation. Management is very important part of professional life of engineer. Most of the engineers joint management courses for getting jobs in bank. Joining management after doing engineering shows disliking or less interest toward engineering. So living engineering is better option than doing it with less interest.
