Project managers lead multidisciplinary teams of student interns enabling companies to obtain the overall expertise needed to meet specific project requirements. They analyze the scope of a project, define project requirements and allocate resources.

Project managers are the most unique educational element of the program. They are degreed engineers with over 170 years of collective professional engineering experience.

• Create innovative learning environment.
• Provide overall project control to adhere to budgets, scope and schedule.
• Recognize and adapt to different organizational structures of clients and communicate differences with student interns.

Project Managers - Benefit Engineering Students

Student interns benefit from the knowledge and experience of working side-by-side with project managers. They take direction and advice from project managers who guide and mentor them through common entry level pitfalls. This opportunity allows interns to make the transition from exceptional student to exceptional employee.
