I. : Course Description This course addresses the basic nature of managing general projects, not specially focuses on one type of project, no matter construction projects or R&D projects. The course uses the project life cycle as the organizational guideline, and contents will cover the whole process of project management, including project initiation, project planning, project implementation and project termination. We will study the characteristics of project and project management, look at how to define a project, how to organize a project, how to plan a project, how to implement, trace and control a project, and how to terminate and post-evaluate a project.

:The Teaching/Learning Environment & Course Classroom Protocol

a. The instructor manages his classroom as if it were an executive training meeting or session in a business or government setting. b. The teaching/learning environment created in the classroom is led by the instructor but it is also understood that the most beneficial learning environment is one where students teach each other through optimum preparation, active classroom participation, and sharing of their own personal insights gained from lifelong experiences. VIII. : Statement on Faculty and Student Code of Ethics The Code of Ethics sets the parameters for proper conduct in the classroom by both faculty and students. This is basic but it underscores the main principle here that we will follow as a team: The faculty member will do his best to provide the best teaching and learning environment for each student as an individual and for the class as a whole. Students will be fairly evaluated in all their work and the contributions they make to enhance the objectives of the course. Students, on the other hand, will be responsible for their own work-product, will provide proper documentation when they use the work of others as references, and will respect the rights of others to contribute to the teaching/learning environment as best suits their comfort level, the capabilities, and their motivations. IX. : Assignment/Presentation/Case Study Briefings The assessment approach is based on a concern for assessing the quality of the learning outcomes achieved by the student. The assignments are structured to assess group as well as individual performance. X. : Class Attendance and Missed Exam Policy Students are required to attend all classes in the course. Students who miss classes are far likely to meet the requirements of the course. A student who misses more than 5 classes will get zero in class participation. If a student does not attend minimum of 70% of total classes he/she will not be permitted to take final examination in the course. Students are advised not to miss any exam under any circumstances. A makeup exam will be allowed only under very special circumstances and that too only after the approval of the Chairperson of the department.
