What are engineering managers’ working conditions?
According to the 2005 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook, “Engineering managers spend most of their time in an office. Some managers may work in laboratories, where they may be exposed to the same conditions as research scientists, or in industrial plants, where they may be exposed to the same conditions as production workers. Most managers work at least 40 hours a week and may work much longer on occasion to meet project deadlines. Some may experience considerable pressure to meet technical or scientific goals on a short deadline or within a tight budget.
