(Teaching unit Compulsory) ECTS credits: 7 Teaching languages: Catalan Teaching staff Coordinator: Others: BEATRIZ AMANTE GARCIA NEUS FRADERA TEJEDOR - M. GORETTI TORRELLA CORBERA - VICTOR SANCHEZ RODRIGUEZ Degree competences to which the subject contributes Specific: 1. To analyze the risks and consequences of proposed solutions in the various organizational sub-systems and their social and environmental contexts. 2. Apply quantitative and experimental methods for making decisions in situations where intangibles appear 3. Apply theories and inherent principles in the general direction of an organization with the aim of analyzing uncertainty complex situations and make decisions using engineering tools. 4. Manage activities with relevant content of projects and / or operations that technology and organization have to interact effectively and efficiently 5. Plan, organize, implement, lead and manage engineering projects, especially projects of innovation (R + D + I) and process improvement. Generical: 6. Ability to apply knowledge to solve problems in new environments or unfamiliar environments within broader contexts (or multidisciplinary) related to engineering. 7. Self-learning capacity to independent continuous training. 8. Ability to effectively communicate their findings, knowledge and concluding reasons to skilled and unskilled audiences, clearly and unambiguously. Teaching methodology The course is divided into three parts: Theory classes Practical classes Self-study for doing exercises and activities. In the theory classes, teachers will introduce the theoretical basis of the concepts, methods and results and illustrate them with examples appropriate to facilitate their understanding. In the practical classes (in the classroom), teachers guide students in applying theoretical concepts to solve cases / projects / problems, always using critical reasoning. We propose that students solve cases in and outside the classroom, to promote contact and use the basic tools needed to solve problems. Students, independently, need to work on the materials provided by teachers and the outcomes of the sessions of exercises/problems, in order to fix and assimilate the concepts. The teachers provide the curriculum and monitoring of activities (by ATENEA). Learning objectives of the subject 1 / 10

2 Project management is the discipline of planning, organizing, securing and managing resources to bring about the successful completion of specific project goals and objectives. The aim of this course is to provide guidelines to address any difficulties successfully and reach goals.
