management organization and profession. The management of
projects entails technical knowledge, engineering skills
and management skills.
The certificate program consists of (4) three-hour courses
for a total of 12 credit hours. Two of the courses are technical
electives, which can count toward the a B.S. degree depending
on the department. Core requirements include CVEN
333 / ISEN 333 / MEEN 333 [Project Management for
Engineers] (or departmental equivalent) and MGMT
309 [Survey of Management]. The additional six
hours are comprised of one or two engineering electives
and up to one management elective in the Mays Business School.
The certificate will be awarded upon completion of the B.S.
degree in the Look College of Engineering. Completion of
the certificate will be recorded on the student’s
University transcript.
