Engineering

For courses in Project Management in Engineering or Business Schools.

This thorough and practical treatment of the engineering and managerial issues surrounding project management gives managers, engineers and technology experts a larger appreciation of their roles by 1) defining a common terminology, 2) explaining the interfaces between the different disciplines involved, and 3) teaching the techniques commonly used in the planning and execution of modern projects.

• shows how to better select, plan, monitor and control a project throughout its life cycle.

• emphasizes organizational design and the types of data and systems needed for successful decision making.

• stresses integrative concepts rather than isolated methodologies.

• relies on simple models to convey ideas, and intentionally avoids detailed mathematical formulations and solution algorithms.

  • presents some of the more important mathematical programming models arising in project management, and provides references for further study

• uses real-world case studies throughout -- including 40 worked-out examples illustrating how computations and methodologies can be applied on the job.

  • many examples relate to the design of the U.S. Space Station. Others are drawn from the authors' experiences in the computer, communications and electronic manufacturing industries

• features a continuous chapter-to-chapter Team Project.

• provides discussion questions and exercises.

• features an accompanying disk containing an educational version of SuperProject Expert — one of the most sophisticated project management software packages available.

  • offers all the functionality of the original version — but limits projects to 50 activities. (3.50" IBM compatible)
