Science and Technology Managers Science and technology managers are in charge of people who work on research and development. Engineering, science, and data processing managers know about different areas. However, they have some of the same duties. For example, they all plan, coordinate, and direct the work of their employees. The work may be research, development, design, or production.
Some work is related to computers.
Each of these three types of managers is discussed in more depth in a CIS specialty. See those specialties for more information. These managers set scientific and technical goals for their workers. Managers meet with their supervisors when setting the goals. An example of a goal is the redesign of an industrial machine.
