Case studies of industrial practice in project management

Date: June, 2008 - January, 2009

Proposed By: James Flint (Electronic and Electrical Engineering)

 
 
The aim is to improve the industrial content within the Engineering Project Management Part B module (ELB013) in the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering.  Case studies of project managers will be created to use as a teaching resource and inform course development.  We will produce a questionnaire to be completed by the project managers which will form the basis for the case studies. 

Questionnaire produced in conjunction with James Flint Jul-Sep 08.  
Project delayed Oct-Dec 08.
Met with James Flint and contacted people in industry Jan 2009.
