Project Management (PrMgt)

Overview

Today's project managers work in teams to create unique products, services, and results. They work on projects that tend to have an established objective with specific time, cost, and performance requirements. These projects can range from developing next generation smart phones to building new production facilities to improving and updating existing data management services.

MECOP interns develop skills in both the science and art of managing projects. They use proven methodologies to define, plan, schedule, and monitor project progress. At the same time, they use their interpersonal and leadership skills to resolve problems, manage expectations, and sustain commitment to the successful completion of the project.
