Synopsis

An engineering-focused approach to project management techniques and strategies

Engineering projects are vital for modern society and global human survival, but many engineering projects fail, in large part due to poor and/or ineffective management. These failures have led to a desire to identify those techniques and mindsets that can lead consistently to successful engineering projects.

The first edition of this book, Engineering Project Management, has served as the essential overview to engineering-based project management methods, tools, processes, and mind-sets. Offering a practical, step-by-step guide to applying project management techniques in engineering settings, it draws upon active learning approaches and the author’s extensive experience to create a thorough and cutting-edge guide. This second edition is now updated to reflect transformative recent developments in both technology and project management, and remains an indispensable tool for project managers and engineers alike.

Readers of this second edition of Engineering Project Management will also find:

• Updated coverage of the social aspects of project management, along with other soft skills, throughout the volume
• Detailed discussion of topics including project life-cycle, identification and management of stakeholders, cost estimation, schedule estimation, monitoring of your project, engineering economics, engineering ethics, and many more
• A structure that aligns perfectly with a single-semester course, alternating lectures with facilitated lab sessions

Engineering Project Management is ideal for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and instructors in courses in Engineering Project Management, as well as professional engineers and early career practitioners who need to brush up on their project management skills.
