About the Project Management Course

The Project Management Course (PMC) helps students develop and hone skills needed in the modern workplace and beyond. Students must work effectively in groups to deal with conflicts and determine when to lead and when to follow. Each project consists of a team, a problem which is elaborated on when the team meets with the sponsoring client, and a series of deadlines. The end product is a sustainable solution to the client’s issue. The course allows students to learn to manage their time, develop their research skills, and communicate orally and verbally.

UHP is Excited to Offer 2 New PMC Opportunities in 2018

BioDesign Challenge

Curious about Kombucha Fasion? Can wearing priobiotic clothing benefit skin health and the microbiome? Can we make the "vegan leather" material less hydrophilic and remove its odor? Will people wear fashion made of bacterial cellulose? Is it more sustainable than similar fashion materials?

Offered in Winter and Spring 2018, this two-quarter commitment gives UHP students from across disciplines the opportunity to compete on teams to develop new and innovative fashion materials and present at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC.

View the course flyer, check out the BioDesign Challenge website, read more about the course in the UC Davis Egghead blog, and fill out the application. Note that this course counts as both Year 3 Project and Service requirements for Year 3 students. For Year 2 students, this course will fulfill two Year 2 course requirements and the Year 3 Service requirement.

Would you wear a kombucha dress?

From yarn made of citrus peels to textiles made of pineapple leaves, designers are turning food waste into fashion.
