EXTENSION/ENGINEERING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

For the last 15 years, I have been teaching courses on project management, scheduling, and cost

estimating for the University of Wisconsin Engineering Professional Development.

I taught five courses for the National Electrical Contractors Association, titled:

o Project Tracking to Improve Labor Productivity: An Earned Value Approach (2010)

o Change Orders in Electrical Construction (2002-present)

o Cumulative Impact of Change Orders (2002-present)

o Quantifying the Cumulative Impact of Change Orders for Electrical and Mechanical

Contractors (2002-present)

I taught two courses for the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, titled:

o Basic Practices of Highway Construction Scheduling (2003-2004)

o Advanced Highway Construction Scheduling and Delay Analysis (2003-2004)

In 2001, I taught a course, titled Cumulative Impact of Change Orders, at the Sacramento Bar

Association in Sacramento, California. I also taught this course in San Francisco, California;

Milwaukee, Wisconsin; New York, New York; Toronto, Ontario, Canada; Portland, Oregon;

Mountainside, New Jersey; Albuquerque, New Mexico; Boston, Massachusetts; and Miami,

Florida.

and Denver, Colorado.

In 2001, I taught a five-day course, titled Construction Week in Madison (Estimating, Scheduling

and Project Management) in Madison, Wisconsin.

In 1991, I co-directed and taught a one-day seminar, titled Productivity on Canadian Construction
