Aims/Description:
Although basic principles of project management may still apply, complex projects involve different managerial challenges that are related to their scale, significance and complexity. The aim of this module is to provide students with a more encompassing view and understanding of the real challenges and causes of risks in managing major projects that are necessary to effectively drive change in manufacturing/engineering organisations.

| Teaching Methods: |
Teaching will be delivered in highly participative, interactive learning lectures (28 hours in total - 4 x 7 hours teaching sessions) and will involve a mix of problem-centred approaches including case studies, the analysis of academic articles and reflection on the learners¿ own work experience. This teaching method will support the learner¿s achievement of learning outcomes 1-8.
Learners are also expected to undertake independent study (172 hours) to maximise their learning. MOLE will be used to provide pre and post reading for the sessions and learning groups established to enable peer to peer learning between blocks.
