This course is designed for all Engineers who are currently managing projects but had no formal project management training.  

The course teaches you how project management will improve your project outcomes on all fronts, and allow you to manage your many other responsibilities at the same time.  The takeaway from this program would be strong interlinked knowledge between engineering and management with the right set of project management and problem-solving skills.

Engineering project management is focused on managing engineering projects. An example may be a project to design a new office building. One key difference is that engineering project management requires the management of all aspects of the project. Not just the management of the engineers or the engineering work.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Apply several skills to facilitate the success of a project, on which you are currently working
•  Describe the project life-cycle
•  Provide effective feedback to others and improve your listening skills
•  Integrate what you have learned into an effective process
•  Develop and implement the strategy and plan
