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.

Student workload

The evaluation is based on the student's activity, responsibility and results as an individual (50%) as well as at the project group level (50%). The evaluation is continuous, which means that the entire process, not just the end result, is the subject of the evaluation.
