About the Course

Project Management: Foundations and Initiation provides students the foundational knowledge of how engineering projects are managed and initiated. Project managers are responsible for project scope, stakeholder management, effective communication, and team leadership. In this course, you will develop introductory skills needed to manage traditional engineering projects, along with tools needed to engage stakeholders and build diverse teams. This course can be taken for academic credit as part of CU Boulder’s Master of Engineering in Engineering Management (ME-EM) degree offered on the Coursera platform. The ME-EM is designed to help engineers, scientists, and technical professionals move into leadership and management roles in the engineering and technical sectors. With performance-based admissions and no application process, the ME-EM is ideal for individuals with a broad range of undergraduate education and/or professional experience.

My expression of the teachings, examples and lessons from this course is far beyond comprehension. There is definitely no better ways to start the Project management journey as career than this. It was not only informative in its approach and teaching but has a seamless blend of practical hands-on experiences to go alongside the course.

I am very delighted I too the course and will definitively recommend it to anyone who looks to take a plunge into the project management world.

I love the course and course structure. The material and layout are very engaging and compel one to read and study widely. I feel very much empowered. The Course Tutor is concise in her presentations, but adds great value to the learning experience. The flexibility of the course allowed me to drive myself to the best of my ability within very busy schedules, but all in all great.

Clear and informative. The use of proper templats and artifacts is stressed. I've been a PM for years and years, and these basic things no one does. Glad you are stressing that if you are a professional pm, these are the things and ways you do things.

A very good overview of project management. Instruction relevant, linked articles are recent (last few years), and as a "reluctant project manager", I've learned a few things and reinforced the why for many others.

I found the course great and simple to follow. I have left my honours assignments to last as I have had software issues. I did find some of the questions ambiguous and had to keep going back to my notes.
