Content

Basics of project management: process and documentation.

The project includes 1 ECTS of communication.

Location and time

The theoretical introduction to the subject mainly takes place before the ski holiday and the practical project is started after it. Learning mainly takes place on campus according to the timetable. The reviews are carried out via Teams.

Materials

The lecture material (videos) is provided in Moodle, as well as the document templates needed for the practical project.

Teaching methods

At first, the students familiarize themselves with the project management online material provided in Moodle and complete the tasks related to the material.

After that, for the practical project, students are formed into project groups of 3-4 people who implement an real-world problem-solving project utilizing basics of project management methods. Learning includes e.g. guest lectures on the topic, screenings and guidance sessions. The outputs of the projects will be presented at the joint project exhibition day with all ICT engineering student groups at the end of April.

Completion alternatives

The course can also be completed in a working life project. The method of implementation will be separately agreed in detail with the responsible teacher.
