Course description

The ability to successfully manage engineering projects within a professional engineering environment is essential for modern engineers to effect change and implement design solutions. This course will enable you to use the principles of project management such as work planning and control, scheduling, critical path analysis, team communication and leadership to implement engineering solutions in a civil engineering context. You will be able to identify barriers to technology uptake and work towards overcoming these through practical knowledge of engineering economics, engineering law, engineering ethics, and the nature of engineering businesses. Students will learn how to undertake and interpret cost-benefit analyses, develop the skills required to understand business decision-making and economic drivers relevant to engineering and investigate key concepts required for ethical professional practice within contemporary quality and safety management systems. Students will engage in workshops and project-based content and assessment which will lead the student through the issues encountered in professional civil engineering practice.
