3 courses with the subject MPM, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
MPM 610PCA CA 1: Strategic Project Research and Analysis3
The Constructive Action 1 course familiarizes the students with the research techniques and methodologies by which to explore and analyze the trends and needs in one of the different industries using project management. The CA 1 focuses on the project research and need analysis. From their assessment, they compile a report of their findings, identifying needs, trends, or areas for further research, and present their conclusions for the particular field using project management techniques. The first CA gives the students an opportunity to determine the feasibility or viability of a project management plan by researching and analyzing the project environment and need assessment. A need assessment and analysis is crucial to building a project management plan from the ground up. The need analysis in field of project management takes into account the research related to project environment, constraints, and risks. 2026-2027 Catalog | 241
MPM 620PCA CA 2: Strategic Project Planning and Analysis3
The students apply knowledge obtained and the strategic research and analysis conducted for their Constructive Action in the prior semester, to develop a comprehensive project planning in the CA 2. This CA would involve mapping out the logistics for the project and the students start building their plan, providing details of the scope, plan, time, and cost management plan. One important aspect to this Planning CA is getting students to think in terms of “first things first” – one cannot do C unless B is in place first but cannot do B unless A is in place first. Though some actions/parts of the project could be done simultaneously. These things would have to be rigorously conceptualized in this CA with the student determining the specific order of priorities and exactly how to arrange them so that the entire project is mapped out in a coherent and doable manner.
