Project Management for Engineers, as the title suggests, is a direct attempt at addressing the ever-increasing and specific needs for better project management of engineering students, practicing engineers and managers in the industry. It aims not only to present the principles and techniques of Project Management, but also to discuss project management standards, processes and requirements, such as PMBOK, IEEE and PRINCE.

Each chapter begins with the basics of the theme being developed at a level understandable to an undergraduate, before more complex topics are introduced at the end of each section that are suitable for graduate students. For the practicing professionals or managers in the industry, the book also provides many real illustrations of practical application of the principles of Project Management.

Through a realistic blend of theory and practical examples, as well as an integration of the engineering technical issues with business issues, this book seeks to remove the veil of mystery that has shrouded the profession from its very beginning.

Contents:

  • The Need for Project Management in Engineering
  • The Engineering Project Management Context
  • Key Project Management Artifacts
  • Engineering Economics and Project Management
  • Requirements and Scope Management
  • Time Management
  • Cost Management
  • Quality Management
  • Human Resource Management
  • Communications Management
  • Risk Management
  • Procurement Management
  • Stakeholder Management
  • Ethics and Engineering Professionalism

Readership: Advanced undergraduate and graduate students, practicing engineers and managers in the industry.
Key Features:

  • Detailed coverage of project management concepts with practical examples
  • Formal English writeup blended with casual conversational style discussions (not a traditional boring textbook)
  • The Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB), the body that certifies all Canadian engineering programs, has mandated the teaching of Project Management as part of its new revision of the accreditation procedure (the so-called Outcomes Based Assessment), which must be in place by 2014
