Session Teaching a Project Management Fundamentals Course to Working Professionals Eldon R. Larsen, Ph.D. Marshall University, College of Information Technology and EngineeringAbstract Project management has become very important in today’s business world. Yet, mostworking professionals have had to learn project management skills almost entirely byexperience, with little formal college training in this field. At Marshall University, the Master ofScience in Engineering degree program includes an emphasis in Engineering Management, ofwhich Project Management is

Most of the engineers involvedare structural, geotechnical, and tsunami researchers, and they reside at participating universitiesacross the USA. This group’s objectives include setting up “collaborative capabilities [that] willallow analysts and experimentalists to work together in ways that were not previously possible.Tele-observation, data streaming and video streaming will provide access to data, access to state-of-the-art equipment, and the capability to cooperate across distance and time 1 .” The shake tableexperiment is one of the experiments that the NEESgrid is addressing.

Some of these projects are based in one of the fields, while others cut acrossmore than one discipline. Managing such multidepartment STEM projects can beoverwhelming, complex, and challenging, necessitating effective organization andcollaboration between multiple teams and stakeholders [1]. Most such multidisciplinaryprojects are funded to drive cross-cutting knowledge acquisition and sharing, includingdeveloping tools that can be

challenges faced by the VIP team regarding logistics is that there are fewfaculty members who have direct experience with this model and there are few existing models toemulate. Regardless, faculty members across the VIP are prime movers since they are willing toexperiment and make the VIP a workable and sustainable model.Rationale The relentless evolution of Information Technology (IT) challenges traditional teachingmethodologies, particularly for engineering and technology educators. The evolution of IT and itsintrinsic networking capabilities stands in stark contrast to the traditional “silo” model of educationdelivery [1]. However the relentless evolution of IT should encourage constant examination andexperimentation of alternative
