Text #2:
A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge, 2008
(PMBOK® Guide)
Project Management Institute
Newton Square, PA.
This second text is called the “PMBOK.” The easiest and cheapest way to get the PMBOK is to join the Project Management Institute (PMI) as a student member. Then you can download the PMBOK for free.
If you have any interest in PM, there is a lot of great stuff available at PMI and you need the PMBOK anyway, so it makes sense to join PMI ASAP.
Once you join, the PMBOK is immediately available online, so you do not have to wait for it. You can also print your own copy of you want to.
Other Required Materials
1) Microsoft Word, Excel, and Power Point
2) MS Project
Students are not expected to know how to use MS Project. MS Project is provided free to all MET students. Details are available in the first week of the course.
Tutorials will be provided during the course. Other software products can be used – see the Resources section – but if you chose to use something else, it is your responsibility.
