Engineering projects are different—complex, interdependent, inventive, operating within a competitive industry

where time-to-market is everything. That’s why engineering project managers never have the luxury of ramp-up

time. They must be rigorous and ready on day 1. This class makes sure that Project Managers have the skills

and techniques to run engineering projects now!

From kick-off to closure, Fundamentals of Engineering Project Management teaches the skills engineering lead-

ers need to manage projects—even in difficult situations. The key is to apply the principles and practices of

project management, everything from identifying and tracking the critical path to managing budget, risk and

complexity.
