liability, insurance, corporate culture * New further reading lists * Reflection of the increasing impact of legislation emanating from the EC The structure and content of this handbook have been revised and improved in its second edition. Since it was
first published in 1989, the Diploma in Engineering Management, set up by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, has been taken over jointly by all the leading engineering institutions (Structural, Electrical, Chemical). This new edition reflects more clearly the Diploma Syllabus. It also caters better for the increasing number of degree courses that incorporate an element of engineering management.
