In today’s rapidly evolving world, technological advancements are reshaping industries and societies, creating complex challenges that require integrated solutions. These solutions often lie at the intersection of engineering and management, making it essential to bridge technical expertise with strategic business acumen. The interdisciplinary nature of today’s world demands professionals who not only possess engineering proficiency but also have the ability to lead strategic decision-making. The world needs leaders capable of solving engineering problems while understanding their managerial, technological, and social contexts.
