Overview

Developed and delivered by world-renowned Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering faculty, the Engineering Project Management certification course creates a road map for the engineering project team to successfully deliver projects within scope, on schedule, and on budget in today's highly competitive and continuously changing environment. With successful completion of this course and execution of the applied project, participants will have a core understanding of engineering project management fundamentals, the project life cycle, key project deliverables, and how to apply that knowledge to bring value to their organizations.

The course is offered in a 5-week Zoom, synchronous training format consisting of 15 hours of instruction, meeting for one 3-hour session per week. The course is followed by a 30-day applied project phase where participants will implement the skills they learned in the course by completing a project with expert coaching along the way.

Note: This course requires a minimum of 16 participants to run. This is not an official Project Management Institute® (PMI) certification.


Learning Outcomes

 

At the end of this program, participants will be able to:

  • Describe what project management is, along with its benefits and obstacles.
  • Discuss project management constraints, elements, and application steps. Understand the fundamentals of defining requirements, construct the Scope Statement and Statement of Work (SoW).
  • Demonstrate their knowledge on Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) by applying it to an example.
  • Practice Project Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT)/Critical Path Method (CPM) knowledge by applying it to an example and analyze the duration of the critical path.
  • Examine and evaluate the project progression by applying Earned Value Management (EVM).
  • Understand the fundamentals of the Agile project management philosophy and Scrum methodology.

Earning a Certificate

 

As one of the world’s top-ranked engineering schools, an ASU Certificate is recognized globally as a premier qualification. The Engineering Project Management course consists of 15 hours of instruction, a final exam and an applied project. Participants will have 30 days after completing the 5-week training to submit the final report; during this time, the course instructors will provide coaching and advising to participants. One mid-project update is required, along with the final project report.

For successful completion, participants must:
  • Attend the 3-hour weekly sessions.
  • Successfully complete an Engineering Project Management applied project.

With the completion of this course, participants will receive a certificate from the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering and qualify for Continuing Education Units (CEU) and Professional Development Units (PDU) from Arizona State University.
