  engineering manager education requirements: Blood Rites Barbara Ehrenreich, 2020-01-07 A New York Times Notable BookAn ALA Notable Book Original and illuminating. --The Washington Post What draws our species to war? What makes us see violence as a kind of sacred duty, or a ritual that boys must undergo to become men? Newly reissued in paperback, Blood Rites takes readers on an original journey from the elaborate human sacrifices of the ancient world to the carnage and holocaust of twentieth-century total war. Ehrenreich sifts deftly through the fragile records of prehistory and discovers the wellspring of war in an unexpected place -- not in a killer instinct unique to the males of our species, but in the blood rites early humans performed to reenact their terrifying experiences of predation by stronger carnivores. Brilliant in conception and rich in scope, Blood Rites is a monumental work that continues to transform our understanding of the greatest single threat to human life.

  engineering manager education requirements: Building Mobile Apps at Scale Gergely Orosz, 2021-04-06 While there is a lot of appreciation for backend and distributed systems challenges, there tends to be less empathy for why mobile development is hard when done at scale. This book collects challenges engineers face when building iOS and Android apps at scale, and common ways to tackle these. By scale, we mean having numbers of users in the millions and being built by large engineering teams. For mobile engineers, this book is a blueprint for modern app engineering approaches. For non-mobile engineers and managers, it is a resource with which to build empathy and appreciation for the complexity of world-class mobile engineering. The book covers iOS and Android mobile app challenges on these dimensions: Challenges due to the unique nature of mobile applications compared to the web, and to the backend. App complexity challenges. How do you deal with increasingly complicated navigation patterns? What about non-deterministic event combinations? How do you localize across several languages, and how do you scale your automated and manual tests? Challenges due to large engineering teams. The larger the mobile team, the more challenging it becomes to ensure a consistent architecture. If your company builds multiple apps, how do you balance not rewriting everything from scratch while moving at a fast pace, over waiting on centralized teams? Cross-platform approaches. The tooling to build mobile apps keeps changing. New languages, frameworks, and approaches that all promise to address the pain points of mobile engineering keep appearing. But which approach should you choose? Flutter, React Native, Cordova? Native apps? Reuse business logic written in Kotlin, C#, C++ or other languages? What engineering approaches do world-class mobile engineering teams choose in non-functional aspects like code quality, compliance, privacy, compliance, or with experimentation, performance, or app size?

The sheer scale of the technological and physical challenge facing the creators of these superstructures was immense. The management skills demanded of those early engineers were equally impressive. The desires of the customers (the Pharoahs) had to be fulfilled while co-ordinating, controlling and monitoring the subcontractors (the artisans) and the employees (the slaves), as well as ensuring the optimum use of material resource. Engineering management is no simpler today and both new and experienced engineers find it difficult to come to terms with this non-technical subject. Fraidoon Mazdaís book provides an accessible and comprehensive guide to management that will be useful for students, new managers and experienced engineers alike. Using a fictional company as a case-study throughout the text, theory is repeatedly related to practice, providing a realistic picture of modern engineering industry. All the management functions that are part of a medium or large-sized organization are covered from basic people skills to business strategy, decision making, financial management, project management, manufacturing operations, marketing and sales. Whether you are a student undertaking a course on management or a professional engineer needing some practical advice, Engineering Management provides the answers you are looking for. Had the engineering managers of the Egyptian pyramids been able to use this book, their life would probably have been made a lot easier! Key Features is written in an accessible but authoritative style is relevant to any engineering discipline provides practical advice on management in industry covers both numerical and behavioural topics
