Benefits

Consistency: The framework gives you the structure. Following it on each project gives you consistency. Once you become consistent in the way you manage your projects, the people you work with will become increasingly confident in your ability to organize, execute and succeed. From an engineering career standpoint, being consistently effective is a major asset.

Environment: When you have a standard framework for project management that you execute consistently, you will stand out among your peers and competitors. Depending on the environment you work in, this notoriety can become a major career enhancer, opening opportunities to you that never before existed.

Risk Assessment: Before studying project management, risk assessment was something I though of only in regards to military training or overseas travel. It was not a topic that I directly linked to the projects being worked on closer to home. After studying project management, a whole new appreciation for risk assessment as well as a formalized way to assess it. Developing the skill to effectively assess risk, then pre-determine mitigation steps, is a benefit that will help you throughout your engineering career.

Development: We understand the need to continuously learn new technical material in order to keep our engineerings skills relevant. Opening your study aperture to include project management will make you even more relevant.
