Statement
of Faculty Senate Action:
Add
provision to award IP grade in MGMT 492
Effective Date: Fall 2006
1. Delete: On pg. 165, the entry for MGMT 394, Project Management
Add: On
pg. 166, revised Project Management course, MGMT 464
464 Project
Management (3)
Principles and concepts of
project management as they relate to contemporary organizations from project
inception to termination. Course integrates
team leadership techniques, network
design, scheduling, in-progress reviews, and project auditing into the
quantitative skills of network analysis (PERT, CPM) and time versus cost
tradeoff. This integration of
qualitative and quantitative skills is accomplished through one or more class
projects. Computer-aided as well as manual approaches to these topics are
presented. Prerequisite: ACCT 216.
Pre- or corequisite: MGMT 380.
Even years Spring.
Impact: This proposal will not adversely affect
department majors or minors and in certain cases will enhance these students'
academic experience.
Rationale: As the nation moves from an industrial-based
economy to an information-based economy, it has become appropriate to offer
students the option to select a course that deals specifically with projects
and processes within a manufacturing setting or to select a course that deals
with the projects and processes in other areas of business. To that end, the
department wishes to give students the option to select either
MGMT 460, Production Management, or a course in Project Management. At
the same time, it is appropriate for the current Project Management course to
be enhanced and the degree of rigor increased to reflect a
parity between the two choices,

An
IP grade may be awarded at the discretion of the instructor.
Impact: None

an IP when circumstances beyond the student’s control extend the project more
than a semester.
