The workshop
More and more engineering and technical professionals are making career transitions from
product design into project management. This, however, requires formal training and a
willingness to learn new skills. All the technical know-how in the world will not deliver a project
successfully, without proper project management skills. Unfortunately very few engineering
professionals have any degree of formal project management training, which results in a great
deal of personal stress as well as cost blowouts and other woes.
To address this problem, the workshop will focus on the critical project related activities such
as work breakdown, scheduling, cost control and risk management, and will show how these
can be performed with software to lighten the project manager's workload. The 'soft' (but
equally important) aspects such as team leadership and contract law are also covered in
detail. All topics will be supplemented with practical exercises focusing primarily on the areas
of electrical/electronic (including instrumentation) and mechanical engineering. If delegates
wish to do so, they can choose small projects from their work environment as a basis for the
practical exercises
Pre-requisites
A basic appreciation for the concepts involved is desired but not essential.
The fee for each workshop covers all materials
including workshop manual, lunches
and refreshments
Practical sessions
This is a practical, hands-on workshop enabling you to work through exercises which reinforce
the concepts discussed.
To gain full value from this workshop, please bring your laptop/notebook computer.
