More engineers need a background in business. We are so involved in running programs, developing products, watching budgets, looking for ways to reduce costs, etc. Plus this will also aide in getting a management position once you get some experience.

John’s Answer

Many companies look at completion, not grade point. Many people do not put grade point on their resume, just the degrees.

I did my MBA part time while working at a company, that's because I figured out I wanted to be more than just an engineer and realized engineers needed to know more about business. If you are the type that likes business, managing projects, working with different groups and people, improving processes, working with customers vs just engineering work, then best to pursue the MBA.
Thank you comment icon thank you so much John for helping. Pratiksha
