ET 5870: Engineering Project Management

Transcription

1 ET 5870: Engineering Project Management Course Description: This course provides the student with insights into human and organizational behavior affecting projects, in addition to the quantitative tools for the successful management of engineering projects. The course addresses a variety of project types and deals with how to select, initiate, operate and control as well as terminate a project. The role of project managers and their interaction with the rest of the organization is highlighted.

2 Course Learning Objectives: On successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:. Evaluate individual projects and select those that best meet organizational needs [SO a,f]. Describe functions and capabilities of a good project manager and project team. [SO e,i] 3. Develop a project plan including schedules, milestones, and resource needs. [SO d,k] 4. Develop a project budget reflecting the expected costs of planned activities. [SO f] 5. Use graphical tools such as Gantt charts or Arrow networks to represent a project schedule and show inter-activity relationships. [SO d] 6. Allocate the available but limited human and physical resources to a project. [SO a,k] 7. Collect appropriate project information and use it to ensure that the project proceeds according to plan. [SO a,e] 8. Determine whether a project is meeting its goals and when it should end. [SO a,e] GRADING POLICY: Contribution Test Dates Homework * 5% Test # Monday, Feb., 00 Tests (@ 0%) 40% Test # Monday, April, 00 Final Exam (Comprehensive) 35% Final Exam Saturday, May, 00 GRADING SCALE: Letter Grade - Modifier Unmodified + Modifier A B C D F 59 or less I Incomplete Work WP Withdraw (Passing at time of withdrawal) WF Withdraw (Failing at time of withdrawal) WN Withdraw (Never showed or no basis for grade) Because the overall score must be at least 70% to get graduate credit, the D grade is not available for graduate students. DEFERRED GRADES: A grade of "I" will only be assigned if a student is not currently failing the course and if there is not a substantial amount of work to be completed. An "I" grade must be made up within one year. Assignment of an I grade will be at the sole discretion of the instructor. WITHDRAWAL POLICY: Last day to drop with a tuition refund: First two weeks of semester. Last day to drop without a withdrawal notation on the transcript: Weeks 3-4. Final day to drop class: Last day of classes. REPEAT POLICY (Effective Fall 006): You must to see an advisor to repeat the same course a third time. If you repeat three different courses, you must see an advisor to repeat a fourth course.

5 DISABILITY POLICY: If you have a documented disability that requires accommodations, you will need to register with Student Disability Services (SDS) for coordination of your academic accommodations. The SDS office is located in room 600 of the Undergraduate Library. Their phone number is (33) or (33) (TDD only). Once you have your accommodations in place, I will be glad to discuss your special needs with you in private. POLICY ON CHEATING: Cheating is defined by the University as intentionally using or attempting to use, or intentionally providing or attempting to provide, unauthorized materials, information, or assistance in any academic exercise. This includes any group efforts on assignments or exams unless specifically approved by the professor for that assignment/exam. Evidence of fabrication or plagiarism, as defined by the University in its brochure Academic Integrity, will also result in downgrading for the course. Students who cheat on any assignment or during any examination will be assigned a failing grade for the course and may be subject to additional penalties. University / Department Policies: Academic Integrity Code of Ethics for Engineers: WSU library has a tutorial that talks about transmitting ideas, plagiarism, copyright, and citing sources. At the end, there is a quiz. You are encouraged to visit this site then take the quiz at the end. The following list gives additional sites: Prepared by: Mukasa E. Ssemakula, Ph.D.
