Postgraduate
This subject introduces project management principles and tools. Students develop an understanding of the importance of sound management practices and their application to the successful performance of engineering projects and works. What students learn in this subject enhances their ability to make and implement decisions for strategic and operational management within an engineering setting.
This subject is offered in two modes: standard and distance.
- In standard mode, students are expected to attend lectures and participate in class and group activities. Classes are three hours per week for one semester. Students are expected to enrol and remain in a particular session all semester.
- In distance mode, students undertake the subject without attending classes thus enabling those who would have difficulty attending, for geographic or other reasons, to undertake the study of the subject.
The subject's learning objectives and content are the same for both modes. There are differences in emphasis for some of the assignments because of teamwork and presentations to staff and peers. While these aspects are mandatory for students participating in standard mode, they are not required for distance mode students.
