Engineering Project Management and Leadership

About the Presentation

Afundamental understanding of engineering project management and leadership is imperative for meeting the challenges facing young engineers as they enter the U.S. workforce. Evolving business processes, increased client expectation, and a multi-generational workforce creates complex workplace challenges that are often not considered in a technology centric curriculum. Often left to chance, corporate hierarchy, or dumb luck, the development of early career leadership skills is imperative for the next generation. This discussion will introduce fundamental project management skills with an emphasis on leadership as a necessity for individual and project success.
