Course Summary
This course introduces you to core concepts, skills and tools for the planning, implementation and management of engineering projects. The learning approach will involve a combination of conceptual framework (theory) and practical exercises using project scenarios.
Emphasis is on the fundamental tools for defining the scope of the project and breaking its content down into definable and manageable tasks. These tasks and the output from these processes are used to:
- schedule and resource the tasks
- estimate the cost
- produce the requisite contract documentation
Identification of risks relevant to project performance is also considered.
This course includes a work integrated learning experience in which your knowledge and skills will be applied and assessed in a real or simulated workplace context and where feedback from industry and/ or community is integral to your experience.
