  • Engineering Admin: Quality Assurance and Risk Management

    Credits: 3 PDH

    PDH Course Description:

    This course provides professional engineers with a comprehensive examination of quality assurance and risk management within the framework of engineering administration. It delivers foundational knowledge of quality systems and administrative strategies, followed by procedural and analytical techniques for identifying, evaluating, and mitigating risks. 

    Emphasizing regulatory compliance, documentation integrity, and stakeholder communication, the course prepares engineers to implement robust QA/QC programs and integrate risk management practices into engineering operations, projects, and product development. Case studies and standards-driven methodology are presented to support real-world applications across multiple engineering disciplines.

    Topics:

    Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:

    • Understand the foundational principles of quality assurance and quality control in engineering administration.
    • Apply quality management systems and standards, including ISO 9001 and industry-specific guidelines.
    • Evaluate risk in engineering projects through qualitative and quantitative methods.
    • Develop and implement risk mitigation strategies in compliance with regulatory frameworks.
    • Integrate quality and risk functions into project planning, procurement, and contract management.
    • Analyze case studies to derive lessons learned from engineering successes and failures.
    • Manage stakeholder expectations through proper documentation, communication, and continuous improvement.
