Sample courses (3 credits each)
-
MG8203 Project Management and Assessment
This course will introduce the student to the techniques of successful project management from small individual research and development to large scale and complex technological systems. Topics include project selection, planning, scheduling, cost estimation and control. The administrative functions of structure, contracting, coordination, team development and management will be addressed within the context of effective project management. The use of project management software, specifically Microsoft Project will be an integral part of the study.
