Hello Salma,

First of all, I'd like to thank you for your invitation to reply your respected question

As an Engineer , Studying Engineering management would be a great assets for you as it merge the business experience with the technical experience and it deserve any kind of difficulties you may face, on other hand I would encourage you to search for many schools in your area of residence and decide about their rating and reputation as well in order to ensure an adequate level of learning MBA certification would be a good example of these Engineering Management certification that covers wide range of knowledge that are mostly important for senior engineers.

you can also check find-mba.com that will contain very good information about what you may need before going into further step.

Good Luck

Mina

First Obstacle will be understand operational coordiantion between variuos entities working in new place. I have to quickly catch up with mechanism in place. Obstacle would be lack o fhelp from existing structure.

Engineering management study is all togather different from being a qualified engineer. It encompasses Engineering Economics and insight of Basic Financial knowledge like Budgeting and Financial Analysis. It also covers Project Management , Good Engineering Practices and Maintenance Management Systems. 

In any organisation any Engineering Activity, Project  or Solution need to take into account non-engineering element such as Pay Back Period , Capital Investment , ROI etc, Project Time Lines and Maintenence Budget. 

If one goes into an Engineering Management school with out having a prior work experience with exposure to above non-engineering elements would make your programm tougher and not yield promising academic results.

My best advise to you is concentrate on learning the fundamentals thoroughly. Although grades/marks are very important but I would suggest giving higher precedence to learning than grades, if possible.
