Course Description: EMEN 5033 - Aerospace Program Management

This course addresses project/program management as it is implemented in the aerospace industry. A significant portion of the aerospace industry is project-based; and these projects typically have responsibilities to two distinct primary stakeholders: the sponsor/customer and the business executing the project. This course expands on the traditional project management scope, specifically studying how the traditional scope of project management is tailored to aerospace projects, and studying how projects fit within the context of an aerospace business. A common, but not exclusive, theme of the course will be the management of projects for which the U.S. Government (NASA, DoD) is the customer.
