Project Management - Environmental

Program Description

The PME program prepares you for project development and management in both the environmental and civil engineering industries. It enables students from these disciplines to gain highly desirable management skills and knowledge, and complete a graduate certificate in two consecutive semesters.

You’ll learn about the roles of the team member, team leader, and project manager. Your studies will encompass all aspects of project management, from the competitive bid process to scheduling, risk management and finally, to the closing of projects. An internship placement in the second semester will provide valuable workplace experience under the direction and guidance of a mentor.

Admission Requirements

Program Eligibility:

• Applicants must have a three-year advanced diploma in Environmental Technology or Engineering Technology from an Ontario CAAT, or equivalent; or a degree in Environmental Studies, Planning, General Science, Environmental Science, Earth Sciences, Life Sciences; and/or be a mature student with three to five years of documented work experience in a related field including references from relevant work experience; or have an equivalent combination of related work experience and postsecondary education.
• English proficiency at the college/university level.
• Computer literacy.
• Superior communication skills.

Applicant Selection:

• Prospective students are required to be highly literate and have superior communication and analytical skills. Prospective students may be required to undergo testing to assess these skills.

The Importance of Learning Skills:
Student success in college requires well developed learning skills (such as being able to work independently, participate in a team, be well-organized, develop good work habits, and show initiative). These skills are as important as prior academic achievement. While it is expected that applicants would have developed these skills through previous education and life experiences, Seneca offers support to assist students with further development of these important skills. Seminars, workshops and tutoring are available at Seneca's Learning Centres.
