CERTIFICATE IN ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT

A demand for engineers with management skills has increased in the workforce. Whether in a position to manage engineers and other technical workers or directing a project team, the engineering manager will require more than technical skills. Negotiating, conflict resolution, process or system analysis, planning, and scheduling all will be required for success. The University of Wisconsin-Platteville has developed the Engineering Management Certificate program to fill the need for additional skills that many engineers face when moving into managerial positions.

A certificate in Engineering Management is available completely online through UW-Platteville. The certificate is designed for people who desire a foundation in basic management skills but are not currently pursuing a master's degree. Credits earned for the certificate can later be applied toward the Masters of Engineering or the Master of Science in Project Management, which are both offered online through UW-Platteville.

Certificate Program Objectives

• To offer the opportunity for individuals to gain management skills while maintaining full-time employment status.
• To provide individuals with an avenue to acquire management skills and graduate credit, which can be applied toward the Master of Engineering.
