工程领域有很多职业路线，例如土木，电子或机械，每条路线都需要所选领域的专业知识。但是，负责监督涉及众多工程学科的庞大项目的人员，不仅必须对每种专业都有全面的了解，而且必须具有总体规划整个生产，安排和分配任务，控制预算以及检查最终结果的能力符合客户的原始业务结构。
There are many career routes in engineering, such as civil, electronic or mechanical, and each requires specialist expertise in the chosen field. However, the person responsible for overseeing a mammoth project involving numerous engineering disciplines, must not only have a sound knowledge of each specialism but also the ability to master-plan the whole production, scheduling and distributing tasks, controlling the budget and checking the final outcome meets the client's original business structure.
