Department / Organization: Civil & Environmental Engineering
Are you a project person? Project Eng is a multi-discipline 3-hour course that introduces technical & people mgmt concepts.
This is not a project management course; but it’s all about managing projects. It is not an engineering course; but it’s all about how engineers work to effectively complete projects. And it is not a leadership course; but it’s all about a leader’s mind and skill sets that can make a difference in project delivery.
Project Engineers – through their “big picture” understanding of overall project completion requirements, technical knowledge of the components that must be coordinated & assembled, and application of people skills – get things done. This career-oriented, multi-discipline course focuses on the roles & responsibilities, skills, and character of the Project Engineer as a problem-solver, integrator, and leader. Content, procedural, and relationship project needs that are essential for project execution success are identified. Practical instruction and exercises are given – formulated around industry documents and templates – on key project execution best practices such as estimating (cost, weight, etc.), scheduling, quality, earned value, constructability, risk management, and root-cause analysis. Emotional Intelligence is introduced along with identification of skills that are considered essential for leading projects and people to success. Management, leadership, ethical principles, and best practices are illustrated through case studies of complex, high-profile domestic and international projects.
