29 August 2006 -- University of Kansas Continuing Education and Black & Veatch Corp. have agreed to develop courses in engineering management for Black & Veatch's energy business professionals that will eventually reach all their global offices.
The curriculum includes courses such as project management, construction management, marketing and sales and finance and accounting. The Engineering Management Program at the KU Edwards Campus in Overland Park and the KU schools of engineering and journalism have collaborated on the courses and will provide instructors.
The program will offer live instruction at Black & Veatch's Overland Park location and will be electronically transmitted initially to Black & Veatch regional offices in Ann Arbor, Mich., and Houston, Texas, where its employees will interact with KU instructors. Future classes will be available to all global offices of Black & Veatch's energy business.
"Today Black & Veatch and the University of Kansas are pioneering global education," said Fred Pawlicki, executive director of KU Continuing Education. "This ground-breaking program, developed with a world-class company, illustrates how the latest technology enables the University of Kansas to share its valuable resources with communities in every corner of the planet."
Curtis Kling, chief engineer of Black & Veatch's energy business, said, "By working with the University of Kansas, we now have a delivery method that will allow all our professionals to access the highest quality training regardless of their location or current job assignment. This program directly supports the career development of our professionals and the growth of Black & Veatch."
