Description

Why did you become an engineer? This is a fundamental question many engineers can readily answer. Typically, they say they became engineers because they were interested in construction, liked to solve problems, or enjoyed seeing their work turned into a reality. Rarely, however, would they say they became an engineer because they wanted to be a project manager! Those who are managing projects typically ended up in the role because of management skills they acquired (often by accident-not because of a plan). A rare few have the most important skill of all-they are good communicators--able to write well, have good public speaking skills and are excellent at listening. For engineers who become PMs, technical skills are important, but these are needed to support, not replace their ability to be effective project managers.

Course will award 1.5 hours of continuing education
