Class Descriptions

Fundamentals of Managing    

Managing people or projects involves a set of skills and techniques often different from the skills and techniques in “regular” work.  Successful managers can influence people whether they actually report to them or not and can also influence the people they report to.  Having the success dependent on people who work for/with you underscores the importance of managing effectively when you cannot do everything yourself.  The course introduces and/or refreshes these techniques for effective managing.

  • How to package what you want
  • How to use metrics (measuring) to get results
  • How to free your time and fully engage a team
  • How to manage a project to prevent surprises
  • How to get ideas accepted and started in different environments
  • How to give effective feedback that changes behavior

Communicating Effectively     

Discover how to present ideas and solutions for enhanced communication at work -- with your boss, with customers, with your peers and with subordinates.  The course suggests:

  • How to present ideas effectively
  • How to prepare and present an argument or a case (including making a 'pitch' to a group)
  • How to give helpful feedback
  • How to conduct interviews -- for both written and spoken exchanges.  

Managing People

This course covers essential information supervisors, manager, project managers, and team leaders need to know to successfully manage projects.  This interactive course provides opportunities to work on real-work situations while discussing:

  • The rules of delegation
  • Giving helpful feedback
  • Working with difficult people
  • Communicating clearly
  • Top HR issues
  • Coaching and getting the most from team

Managing Projects

An overview of project feasibility analysis and project development with concentration in manufacturing including: Rate of Return Analysis, Budgeting, Project Organization, Designing for Quality, Designing for Function, Time Line Development, and Startup and Post-Project Analysis.  Realistic examples and discussions will re-enforce the class material, which will be provided the first night of class.

Quality Improvement

This course will provide an Introduction to process improvement, team development, consensus building, and problem-solving techniques.

Basics of Supervision

This will be a capstone course to be taken following the completion of all other courses in this program.  The course will use case studies to focus on realistic situations managers encounter as they attempt to achieve organizational goals.

After completion of this non-credit certificate, students may feel ready for more in-depth coursework in one of these subject areas.  For information on semester-long credit classes in this subject area, click here.
