Description

This module takes a `hands-on' approach and is designed to provide students with a practical understanding of project management. The module is based around the development of a project master plan/proposal. This will be student-centred and involve tutorial-by-tutorial planning, budgeting, scheduling and resource allocation, whilst appreciating and assessing the risk involved. Procedures for monitoring, controlling, evaluating and terminating projects will also be included. In addition, and through the analysis of several video case studies, students will also develop an appreciation of typical issues and problems associated with large-scale projects, such as the development and construction of roller-coasters, super-jumbo airplanes, dams, large public works, artificial holiday islands, etc.
