3 credit hours

 
A project management capstone course which requires that students use the project management skills and abilities acquired in their previous courses to initiate, plan, execute, monitor, control, and close a successful project with the use of the project management information system (PMIS) called Microsoft Project.  Project information is supplied to students throughout the course based on real-world scenarios in which the student must deal with all aspects of project management.  The student is given a specific project with specified stakeholders and faces problematic issues including schedule delays, costs increases, human resource shortages, and equipment failure to name a few.  The student must demonstrate his or her competency by using the skills and abilities attained throughout the course to lead the project to a successful completion.  Upon completion of this course, the student will be prepared to successfully manage a complete project.
