“When you come into an engineering position, you need a technical background. But to advance in management in engineering, you need to have people management skills to relate to others. This program has allowed me to learn the skills I would learn in an MBA program, and it’s also allowed me to keep my technical knowledge and relate to the technical people I’ll be managing.”
