Engineering Management Institute
Can your engineering professionals effectively manage people AND projects? Most engineering professionals don’t have access to effective development opportunities related to their core skills including people leadership and project management. This translates into poor management for many engineering companies causing poor project performance, difficulty in recruiting and retaining key professionals, and diminished profitability. At EMI, we provide content, training and development programs to help engineering professionals acquire these hard-to-obtain non-technical skills. The content is delivered by engineers in a way that professionals can actually transfer these lessons back to the job. They don’t just learn about people or project management skills; they improve these skills on-the-job. When you use EMI to design and deliver training and development programs for your engineering professionals, you know that your investment will pay off in the way of improved management and leadership skills, positively affecting both company culture and profitability.

You can learn about us here: ► EngineeringManagementInstitute.org EMI was founded by Anthony Fasano, P.E. a licensed professional engineer who has transitioned into a TEDx speaker and executive coach for engineers. “All of our engineers from entry level through upper-level managers have been able to connect with Anthony Fasano of EMI in one way or another. His advice is practical and to the point. He is able to engage everyone in the conversation because he is both a good speaker and listener. We are very pleased we found a professional who epitomizes what a successful engineer-leader can be." - VINCENT SIEFERT, P.E., CEO, Siefert Associates
