Requirements

Students are seeking organizations that can provide real-world case studies for their work. Ideally within an engineering or construction firm context, they will provide staffing and project plans/schedules that reflect budget and timeline constraints.


Students can perform project planning, resource/staffing management and strategy, with consideration for budgeting and risk management. Final negotiation for project scope will be completed with the faculty for the course.
