I currently only have a BS in management and some Auto-cad Drafting classes under my belt. I was thinking of getting a Masters in EngMgt, majoring in Project Management or Lean Manufacturing. My company has a tuition reimbursement program.

Management degrees for Engineers are worthwhile if they are part-time and paid for by the employer.

Normally, only Engineers with a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering are eligible for a Master’s in Engineering Management.

There are so-called MSIT degrees in Industrial Technology (or MSIMIndustrial Management), which do not require an Engineering Bachelor’s. These degrees are offered by schools accredited by NAIT/ATMAE.

I have just completed my Degree in Computing Studies but have developed interest in business area after working for few years.
I don’t have any idea of career path available in business area.

My degree is more in software area and a little on hardware area, which included Project Management, Software/Application development, Web and Database Programming, Information System Engineering, Distributed Information System, IT Project and Quality Management, and etc.

Please advice.
Thanks.

My university offers a BBA in Information Systems. I’m not sure whether your degree is more computer science based but our degree plan includes all kinds of business coursework. Management, Business Law, Marketing, Finance, Business Communications, etc. The business careers stemming from this are things like Network Admin, Database Admin, Systems Analyst, etc. Jobs in MIS (Management Information Systems) too. These careers would compliment your current degree and experience.

Now if you are looking into something completely different, there are all sorts of things from human resourse managers to financial accountants.

If it were me, I would check out sites like monster.com and see what kind of job descriptions interest me. Find out what I need to add to my schooling/experience to actually get the job. Get what I need – and go get the job that makes me salivate.

Hi everyone!

This is a cover letter I have written to apply for some courses in an English University.
Would you mind checking if there are some mistakes?
Any tips, advice or suggestions will be very appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

Herewith, I would like to express my interest in taking part in the following modules as short scheme courses: Gender and Social Development, Project Planning and Management and Research Methods.
I graduated in Education 2 years ago and, before and after my degree, I spent many months in India.
I went there to have some pre-lauream and post-lauream training.
All these training were within educational projects as I decided to study Education to improve education facilities and projects in developing countries.
Therefore, after my degree and after some experiences in those countries, I am now considering to apply for a Master, possible an MSc, in Education.
In the near future, I would like to work in international cooperation and to give a valuable support in the educational area.
The 3 courses I have decide to apply for will give me a in depth and strong knowledge of main importance themes within the educational area.
The course Gender and Social Development would let me widen the central role the dynamics between genders play in a developing country. The access to education and work to women is the key factor which let societies effectively improve. Therefore, every development project in such countries should consider what the output and benefit would be for women.
The course in Project Planning and Management would give me the technical know-how/skills to set a project so that the aims of the project can be achieved. Despite my education background, I dont know anything about project management nor its steps, in order to realize a valuable project and, therefore, I cant give my total support in educational project. Indeed, while my stays in Indian NGOs, I realized how a mismanagement of people and money along with poor organization of the project can put to waste all the hard efforts the team put into its realization.
Therefore, I believe that a knowledge of this issue is something any development professional should have.

In order to plan an effective development project, its crucial to discover the real needs of the people who would benefit from the project.
Its then important a good command of both qualitative and quantitative research techniques.
While my stays in developing countries I have often, more or less in depth, got in touch with NGOs which tried to pursue and to implement educational project, with children and woman.
Although all their efforts were really valuable and noble, the projects themselves were badly conceived. The people who worked on creating or improving a rural school, were not able to single out whether the project they were about to establish was something the people really needed nor to assess the feedback of their educational project. Consequentially, the goodwill of their efforts could be totally invalidated by the results because, maybe, the project they wanted to develop didnt match at all the needs of the people of that area. All these reasons underline the crucial role played by a good research methodology. This is way I would be very delighted to study the Research Methods course. What I often realized during my experiences abroad, was that, unfortunately, the same accuracy that was put into micro financial or rural development projects was not put in educational projects.
For all the above raisons, I think I could not ask more than doing these courses in university specialized in Development Studies, as the XXXXX is.

I would like to thank you in advance for considering my application and I am looking forward to your response.

Sorry if it’s so long!
I know it’s long but I am asked to write a 500-word statement.

‘all these traing were’ should be’ all this training was’

‘Its then important a good command of both qualitative and quantitative research techniques. ‘ this sentence doesnt quite make sense to me im not sure what you are trying to saying

‘While my stays in developing countries ‘ try , ‘while staying in developing countries’

‘For all the above raisons,’ spelling! ‘for all the above reasons’

apart from that it seems good to me!!!

good luck!

I am working on a project where I need to create a Word template with text boxes along the side and bottom of a page. Is there a way to lock text boxes in Word so that they can not be adjusted in size OR moved from their location? Thanks! I couldn’t find much on the Microsoft site on this…

use label boxes (from tool box bar) instead. You can lock them so that no one will be able to move them around.

A Security Company has asked me to create approximately 20 Word and Excel templates that will allow them to track various things like Dispatch S.O.P., Daily Reports, milage logs, call logs, clocking times/locations, incidents, given to each employee and supervisor. After I create a mock up of what the documents should look like. I would need to train about 5 employees on how to use the forms. The training should only take Four and a half at the most. I am struggling with what to charge for the entire project. Most of my fee would be the result of my labor in creating the template. I came up with a flat cost of $1000 for everything becuase I feel my time and expertise is worth at least that. However if i am asked for a breakdown of that cost I don’t have an answer. Please help me with a formula that will allow me to justify my rate for this project. The particulars of the project include document creation, printing, development of a job aid and training time. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!

There are numerous free templates out there, and several others that are bundled together for a few hundred dollars.
Having said that, this company contacted you so they must need something specific.
I would bid your job based on the time it will take you + your expenses, then estimate an hourly wage. So, the question is what does a good programmer earn where you live?

I’d do something like this– est. time to complete templates= 20 hour (or whatever) X $80.00/ hour = $1600 + training (100)= 1700 + mileage = $1850.

Then I’d discount the hourly rate for the more templates you create so you get the payment you were wanting.

I don’t have any money to spend on this project so I absolutely need this to be free. Also every where I’ve looked the free templates just don’t look good. While the "premium" templates look amazing, but cost money. So where can I get the premium look without the price?

Take a course on how to use a search engine for starts huh?
