So what is the big deal?

De Anza College is now offering four courses cis 95a, 95b, 95c and 95d as a course sequence to teach project management. This is a great opportunity for all techies to gain those skills on project management so that your projects can be on time and under budget.

You see - project management is both an art and science. In the first course we put your through several projects so you can understand what does it take succeed. You learn some project mgmt. theory from PMBOK (Project Management Book of Knowledge) from PMI (Project Management Institute) and apply it to case studies you work on. Some of these case studies are very interesting.

First course in the sequence will be offered this Summer quarter starting on July 3rd 06. The fee is a whopping $17.00 per unit (sure beats those $800.00 per courses offered by other institutions) and yes it uses learning by doing approach - same pedagogical style used by Carnegie Mellon - West (west.cmu.edu).

If you know people that want great quality education at this affordable a price then pass on the word. Course work is taught by faculty trained in project management / pogram management and working professionals.
