Abstract

Project management is rarely taught as a human discipline in computer science. Students learn tools and frameworks, but not how to manage conflict, coach peers, or lead through ambiguity. This lightning talk introduces a new project leadership curriculum, deployed within the TechJoy Internship Program—a bridge between coursework and industry that blends simulation, mentorship, and reflection.
