Workshop Overview The Introduction to Project Management seminar is intended for engineers, technical leads, project leaders, and functional managers who want to learn the basic fundamentals of project management, in order to help themselves and their groups accomplish their endeavors, whether at work, at home, or in the community. Participants will learn basic project management techniques, and most importantly, how to apply them in real life without excessive paperwork or overhead! The workshop will include templates and checklists to take away, and examples of how to apply project management techniques to engineering, personal projects and some project management personal/human touch tips.

[]IEEE Senior Member is the highest IEEE member grade for which IEEE members can apply and does not incur any additional cost or fees. The Senior Member grade is a way for the IEEE members to receive recognition for their professional experience and significant performance in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, and the related fields including Computer Science and Information Technology, Physical Sciences, Biological and Medical Sciences, Mathematics, Technical Communications, Education, Management, Law, and Policy. The advancement to Senior Member provides the IEEE members with significant and distinct benefits. These benefits include the eligibility to hold Executive IEEE Volunteer Positions and getting recognition of your peers for technical and professional excellence. Newly elevated senior members will also receive an engraved senior member plaque from IEEE. We will also feature their profile in the next edition of Wavelengths. Senior Member Elevation: IEEE SEM Section Membership Committee will reprise its Senior Member Elevation event, on July 11th, 2026 between 3:00 PM and 4:30 PM (In Person). Afterwards - we will go have either high tea or a classic Florida styel "early bird" dinner. The way it works is : At least a 10 years of significant experience with BS degree needs be be established to initiate the senior membership elevation. (A Ph.D is considered to be 5 years of significant experience and a master degree is considered to be 2 years of significant experience. The remaining 5 (with PhD) to 8 (with MS degree) years of significant experience should be established from the member experience in his/her profession to initiate and submit applications for Senior Member Elevation.) Note: There is no cost to becoming a Senior Member, and this step is a necessary prelude to seeking the IEEE ‘Fellow’ level. For a complete description of the Senior Member process and its benefits, see the link at: https://www.ieee.org/membership_services/membership/grade_elevation.html To (https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/461460)for "Elevation" Time Slot, please(https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/461460)for the event and consider contacting existing senior members/fellows as references; also bring an electronic copy of your resume, and relevant supporting materials (list of papers published, standards work done, patents, senior/leadership positions, etc.). []Here is a link to (https://www.ieee.org/membership/senior/deadlines.html) before filing your application. Also you may seek to contact or network with other Southeastern Michigan Section members who were upgraded to senior status. You may find some of them profiled in our monthly newsletter - (https://r4.ieee.org/sem/about-sem/sem-history/wavelengths-magazine-archive/)! Networking: * We recommend that if attendees cannot join us in person doo look for the next events { most likely end of August and once again in early October}.
