realistic experience in these topics throughintegration with real engineering projects and/or participation in “role-playing” case studies.Assignments will include tasks such as developing and maintaining timelines and developing andmaintaining requirement tracking documents for the projects. To support these tasks, studentslearn various PM theories and tools (such as work breakdown structures). Students also gainexperience using commercial software packages used in industry. In-class discussion ofchallenges experienced during projects is used to facilitate peer-to-peer learning between groups.This course was developed to fit into a newly created Professional Skills category in theMechanical Engineering program. This course meets this requirement

Systems have been createdfor both large and small businesses that vary in complexity. Few of these approaches howeverare simple enough to be used on student design
