The stereotypical engineer lives a more science-focused than business-focused life. Thus, engineers who have a good mind for business are at a considerable advantage. Industries are finding that engineers with solid business backgrounds are invaluable when it comes to communicating with clients, launching engineering start-ups, and managing projects. They are able to liaise between people who have technical and non-technical orientations.

Graduates of MBA programs in engineering can become senior engineers, project managers, CEOs, and professors of engineering. They can also work as independent consultants.
