MBA Program Beneficial for Engineering Student Career?

I would guess it would be beneficial if your interest is someday moving into management.

Need details about ur comment

As it is general view point that it will be beneficial for moving into management.

what are the general courses will add value for management career?

From where I sit/stand, the most added value comes from having those 3 big letters after your name on the resumé. But I may be a little cynical in my old age.

An MBA can easily help your employment career but I cannot see it helping at all an engineering career.

Oh boy! Raw material for more Dilbert cartoons.

It is more important to show your worth within your job role.

At Boeing they were always looking out for both engineering and business combined. All of the upper management had both. It just makes sense as being able to control projects and make reasonable decisions in engineering.

I had similar question on my mind around 40 years back. I did not go for MBA and remained simple mechanical engineer. I came across many boys, proud to be MBAs. But when faced with real life situation they were not impressive.They were experts in drafting direct mail letters and trying to convince customers with flashy style.

Any how it is additional qualification which can get you higher post and more money. For engineers only choice is to select marketing in MBA course or mfg. management. Wish you Good Luck in your profession.

If you have ideas of setting up your own business or advancing into management then an MBA would be invaluable. It will help you talk the language of bankers, investors, accountants and lawyers.

Go for a PHD in engineering instead. Much more rewarding in the long run.

GA, very wise words most likely the result of many classes taken at the University of Experience, the best and most expensive school in the world.

We used to call this University, The School of Hard Knocks.

At best, it will not help you unless you want to be in a leadership role in running the business. At worst, it could potentially could cause grave damage to your engineering skills.

Not to mention the financial burden.

I was going to suggest you try working in your field, but I can see you apparently are already doing that.

MBA night school, correspondence, etc. will offer you some knowledge but it will not necessarily make an enterpreneur out of you. If you want to do that, you will need to pick from life's smorgasbord somewhat choosily, but remember that time waits for no man. If you are a woman, then time is already ticking faster, and it is your biological clock about to strike the eleventh hour. But I digress.

Why not get your MBA, you might even get 2 points the first flip of the coin, especially if n=2.

If you are still asking yourself whether you should go back to school to earn your MBA, consider the following: Although a bachelor's degree and work experience are invaluable commodities on any resume, a graduate-level education can guarantee employers that you have the knowledge, abilities and motivation that will be demanded of you in a higher-level position. An MBA gives you credibility and distinction that cannot be earned in the workplace alone. Taking graduate level course work in business administration will prepare you to work in a wide range of industries, automatically increasing the number of positions for which you are qualified. MBAs are recognized in most countries as respected business credentials, opening up a world of career opportunities for such degree holders.

An MBA will allow you to assume a Management responsibility so that one day you will be in a position to have someone tell you, "You need to put on your management hat." Then you can make this kind of decision:

There are many fake universities in this subcontinent giving out MBA degrees at a price.You should avoid them. If you get admission in good college then only you should invest your money in enhancing your career. Normally fees for MBA deg. are very high.There is no end to education. You can learn life long.

forgive my flippant reply, but why bother with fake universities, there are many graphic desging software progs/apps (and parchment suppliers) that enable you to print your own certificates.

If someone is daft enough to take them at face value then they will soon be in for a shock.

One can learn life long, and must to survive in this modern world. But remember also, my friend, that time waits for no man.
