Project Management for Engineers
and Technical Professionals
PD467
This three-day course is focused on the mechanical engineering industry, and
provides an overview of project management fundamentals and techniques
using lecture, small group case studies, discussions and hands-on simulations Management Institute’s (PMI®) PMBOK grid, covering all of the materials
geared towards mechanical engineers and their industry.
This program is not classroom lecture. Participants will work in teams to
plan a real-world project in the area of mechanical engineering. The team
environment amplifies and accelerates participants learning. It also prepares
participants to manage their projects in the work environment. In addition,
this course allows each team to build an individual project idea from design
to completion, emulating the project management life cycle.
This course is 100% compliant with the Project Management Institute’s
(PMI’s®) current PMBOK.
Each student will receive a copy of International Project Management
for Technical Professionals and The Knowledge Tornado: Bridging the
Corporate Knowledge Gap.
You Will Learn To
• Understand project management concepts from a system theoretic
point of view
• Understand the role of project manager as a person who plans,
controls, and optimizes a multi-task project towards a singular goal
in a timely and cost-effective manner
• Comprehend the science and art of project management in settings
where scarce resources, risky decisions, and con icting tensions
continually require sensible and effective compromises
• Explain concepts and applied techniques for cost effective management
of both long-term development programs and short-term projects
Who Should A end
Mechanical engineers, project managers, project leaders or anyone who

The course is designed to help mechanical engineers prepare for the M A N AG I N G PROJ E C TS Public Courses
Project Management Professional Examination, and is focused on Project
PMI considers important in the exam. This course is revised often in order
to re ect the most recent changes in the Project Management Professional
Examination and coverage of the Guide to the Project Management Body of
Knowledge (PMBOK).
The entire nature of project management is reviewed, including how
all of the tools and techniques relate to one another, and how it all
goes together to make a unified methodology to successfully manage
products. This course is packed with simulation questions and by the
end of the course, you will have answered more than 900 questions.
Each participant will receive a copy of the PMP Project Management
Professional Study Guide, 4th Edition, by Joseph Phillips; course notes/
presentation is composed of a PowerPoint presentation handout with
space for notes; and access to MGCG’s online simulation exams after
the course, until you pass the exam.
You Will Learn To
• Understand and practice for the PMP certification exam using the latest
and most complete test-preparation materials available
• Review each competency area tested on the exam through numerous
case studies and other valuable practices tools, including more than
