There's a specific qualification called a Masters of Engineering Management. Maybe it needs to be more common.

I have one, but it isn't valued much by employers over here. They'd rather hire an experienced manager or a straight MBA. It was a very good experience though and I hope it will serve in the future.

It's now being discontinued at the university I studied and prospective students are now directed to the MBA program (I actually can get the MBA with a few more hours and paying a lot more money since I already have 95% of the coursework).

From what I have heard, engineering management is neither engineering nor management. :)
