About this Course
Resilience & Leadership: Design, Development, & Integration is the third course of the ‘Resilience Engineering and Leadership in Crisis’ specialization. This course emphasizes the importance of practices like organizational learning and adaptive change management amid uncertainty. Resilience engineering principles and strategies are combined with critical leadership knowledge and skills essential to navigating unanticipated catastrophic disruptions. Learners will integrate selective assignments from the previous courses in this specialization (Resilience & Leadership: Concepts, Definitions, & Frameworks, and Resilience & Leadership: Tools, Methods, & Applications) to construct a comprehensive resilience report using the project scenario they identified in Course 1. This course can be taken for academic credit as part of CU Boulder’s Master of Engineering in Engineering Management (ME-EM) degree offered on the Coursera platform. The ME-EM is designed to help engineers, scientists, and technical professionals move into leadership and management roles in the engineering and technical sectors. With performance-based admissions and no application process, the ME-EM is ideal for individuals with a broad range of undergraduate education and/or professional experience.
