Project Planning
Learn how engineering projects are organized, scoped, scheduled, and coordinated from early planning through implementation.
Minor In
Build the planning, budgeting, communication, and leadership skills needed to coordinate technical engineering projects from concept through completion.
Program Overview
Project engineering focuses on planning, coordinating, and executing technical engineering projects so they can be completed efficiently, on time, and within budget. This minor introduces students to key concepts in project planning, resource management, and team coordination, helping bridge the gap between engineering design and real-world implementation.
When paired with an engineering degree, the Project Engineering minor enhances a student's ability to lead projects, collaborate across teams, communicate clearly, and deliver successful outcomes in a variety of industries.
What You'll Explore
Learn how engineering projects are organized, scoped, scheduled, and coordinated from early planning through implementation.
Develop an understanding of project budgets, resource allocation, timelines, and the practical decisions that affect successful delivery.
Strengthen communication and leadership skills needed to collaborate across technical teams, stakeholders, and project environments.
Student Experience
The minor is designed to be completed alongside a student's primary degree program and can typically fit within a standard undergraduate timeline.
