NUCL 5010G - Project Management for Nuclear Engineers

This course in project management prepares nuclear engineers and scientists in the application of this discipline in their work. It is an intensive investigation into the major principles of project management slanted towards, but not exclusively about, the management of nuclear engineering projects. The course uses the Project Management Institute’s (PMI) Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) as a skeleton and expands that coverage with relevant examples from nuclear, software and general engineering. Special emphasis is placed on risk management, particularly in the area of safety-critical projects. Graduates will be well positioned both to apply the knowledge in their area of engineering and to sit the PMI’s Project Management Professional (PMP) examination. The course is taught using many case studies from industry and engineering.
