Project management is the application of specific knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to plan, initiate, and control the implementation of a project, in order to achieve the desired outcome(s) safely. Course content focuses on critical activities such as work breakdown, scheduling, cost control, risk management and team leadership.
This manual is written for the mid-level manager and technical professional wanting to update their leadership skills and position themselves to adopt a leadership role in their organization. Most engineers will spend the majority of their careers in some leadership capacity, most are dissatisfied with the transition from engineer to leader. Much of this frustration is the result of a lack of preparation and training.

More and more engineering and technical professionals are making career transitions from product design into project management. This, however, requires formal training and a willingness to learn new skills. All the technical know-how in the world will not deliver a project successfully, without proper project management skills. Unfortunately very few engineering professionals have any degree of formal project management training, which results in a great deal of personal stress as well as cost blowouts and other woes.

In honor of International Museum Day, why not celebrate the museums that give visitors unrivaled access to everything we love about engineering? International Museum Day takes place on 18 May, and if you live in a city or town with a museum, why not find out if your local museum is running a promotion to give free entry on the day or presenting a talk about an exhibition? The day was started in 1977 by the International Council of Museums (ICOM) to draw attention to the impact of museums on individual and broader communities, and also the value they have socially and economically.
