LEWISTON – The University of Southern Maine’s Lewiston-Auburn College will offer two courses this fall from the university’s industrial technology program.

The first, Project Management (ITP 230), will present a structured analysis of planning, organizing, directing, controlling and monitoring resources related to completing a set of well-defined tasks.

Significant effort will be devoted to understanding the relationship between technology and human resources, and the demands placed on both as they interact. Also covered will be use of computer-based tools in the management of projects. The class will meet from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Tuesdays, beginning Sept. 2.

Loss Control Management (ITS 342) focuses on the risk management process, the steps it involves and the administrative aspects of carrying it out. Students will learn how to analyze the exposures to accidental losses facing individuals and organizations; describe, analyze and apply alternative risk management techniques; develop, justify and apply decision rules for choosing risk management techniques; and apply a practical analysis or risk/loss management techniques through the study of Maine’s workers compensation system.

The class is available at L-A College via ITV from 7 to 9:45 p.m. Thursdays, beginning Sept. 4.

Registration for these and other courses is open through the first week of classes. For advising assistance, call the college at 753-6500.
