We have likewise been informed that if students want to claim 35 PDUs to be permitted write the Project Management Professional (PMP exam), or claim 60 PDUs to maintain their PMP, they just have to claim it under Category 4 PDUs. We do not speak for PMI, however, so if this issue is key for you, please confirm it with PMI directly at http://www.pmi.org.
Course Overview:
Project management (PM) has evolved from being an accidental job title into a chosen profession for many, especially for engineers. Even if you choose to follow a strictly technical career path, you will almost certainly be working on projects, and this course can help you understand that context. Employers very much value competence in project management. This course covers most of the knowledge areas and processes of the globally recognized PM Body of Knowledge: integration, scope, cost, time, risk, human resources, stakeholders, communications, and procurement management. We take a practical, applied approach, with large and small group discussion, individual and team assignments. We emphasize global projects. The course includes team papers and presentations on “lessons learned” from actual international and domestic projects, and case study discussions.
Course Objectives:
  • Understand the most commonly recognized framework and terminology of PM
  • Value the importance of a disciplined process to manage projects
  • Add techniques to your PM “toolbox”, increasing your value to an employer and to the marketplace
  • Increase your own PM “lessons learned” from actual engineering projects
  • Optional: With further reading and work experience, be prepared to sit for one of the PM designation examinations
