PMC - Project Management Concentration

The Project Management concentration aligns to the PMI Talent Triangle®, and the learning outcomes are technical expertise, professional behavior, and strategic awareness. Furthermore, the two required “ways of working” courses provide student development in each expected level of academic achievement at the undergraduate level :

• Knowledge – broad and coherent understanding of theoretical and technical project management methods

• Skills – analytical, creative, communicative, and technical project management skills

• Application – autonomy, judgment, and responsibility to manage projects in context (and the self-awareness to continuously improve and grow)

The first course, Project Management Fundamentals, concentrates on predictive, plan-based methods by focusing on knowledge, then skills, and finally application (i.e., reflection as a form of self-awareness). The second course, Advanced Project Management, concentrates on adaptive, agile methods by focusing on application (i.e., a live client project), then skills, and finally knowledge. The two courses provide a balanced approach to project management and complement each other well.
