EE2G1 – Project Management and Prof. Practice – Course Overview (2008-2009)
Neil J Cooke
Course Overview
Introduction
This course covers engineering in practice, concentrating on project management of
large “mega-projects” such as public utility construction, systems engineering,
quality, cost, modelling and professional practice. Areas that will be studied include:
• Systems engineering, integration and modelling;
• Project management; risk analysis and quality control.
• Performance Metrics for reliability, availability, maintainability and safety;
• Professional presentation and ethical considerations.
Learning Objectives
During this course, you will learn and use system engineering and project
management techniques to specify and design a large-scale engineering project. You
will demonstrate these skills by writing a professional-standard report and sitting a
class test.
Key Texts
The following key texts were used to make the course notes:
• BS Blanchard & WJ Fabrycky, Systems Engineering and Analysis, Prentice
Hall, 2005.
• A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide)
Third Edition, Project Management Institute,2004
• Ian Sommerville, Software Engineering 7th Edition, 2005
Rather than constrain yourself to the above texts, I recommended you consult from
the large number of texts available in the library to gain further insight and real-life
examples. Notes, additional material and web links are also available.
Assessment: Coursework
The coursework accounts for 60% of the course’s final mark. You are expected to do
the coursework in parallel with the lecture material being taught; the techniques
taught in each lecture relate directly to particular sections in the coursework. Submit
your coursework by Monday 1st December 11am (Week 10).
Assessment: Class Test
The class test will be held during Week 1 of the January term. There will also be a
revision tutorial arranged prior to the class test in Week 1. The class test accounts for
40% of the course’s final mark and will be 1 hour in length and will be multiple
choice. There will be no summer examination for this course.
Effort
This is a 10 credit module, which is around 100 hours of study time. I recommend you
allocate your time across the following activities:
15 hours attending lectures, tutorials and the class test
15 hours self-study preparing for lectures and tutorial classes
50 hours completing the coursework assignment
20 hours revising for the class test.
