Certificate Program in Fundamentals of Engineering Management
The Fundamentals of Engineering Management graduate certificate program emphasizes and provides technical knowledge of basic engineering management concepts, advanced engineering economy, project management, and quality systems management. It includes project-scheduling tools such as PERT/CPM with Microsoft Project, engineering economic evaluation, understanding and use of quality systems, and fundamentals of management in a technical organization. The certificate provides fundamental concepts and core technical knowledge that could benefit all practicing engineers. The Fundamentals of Engineering Management graduate certificate program will be offered using flexible and nontraditional delivery systems via the Internet. The certificate can also be obtained through the traditional on-campus classes.
