CE18: Understand the organizational structure and functions of a project office.
Subject framed in the subject of Projects. The course aims to train students in the realization of engineering projects, both in the development processes of the technical solution and in the management of the different phases of the project. In this subject the final phases of the life cycle of an engineering project are studied, in particular the detailed engineering and the execution of the project. In addition to the theoretical contents studied, students develop an industrial project in groups, based on the preliminary project developed in the subject of Project Management I of third year.
Title content 1: Project strategy and closure of basic engineering
Content title 2: Advanced project planning
Content title 3: Development of detail engineering
Content title 4: Execution and control
Title content 5: Technical Office II
The final grade is the weighted sum of the grades of the activities
Activity 1: 15% (Activity 1: Detail project development: Optimization of project planning and budget).
Activity 2: 35% (Activity 2: Development of the detailed project: The technical solution).
Activity 3: 10% (A3: Closing the project.).
Activity 4: 40% (Exam)
Attendance at the theoretical and laboratory sessions, and the delivery of the corresponding reports of activities 1, 2 and 3 is a necessary condition for the evaluation of the subject.
It will be up to the teachers of the subject to decide on the possibility of adding activities that allow the recovery of the suspended activities.
It is compulsory to carry out all the activities to obtain the final grade of the subject. The grade calculation algorithm only applies if the grade for Activity 4 is greater than or equal to 4, otherwise the subject is suspended.
The make-up exam corresponds to activity 4, and its grade must be greater than or equal to 4. The make-up exam only gives the option to pass the subject with a grade of 5, except in the case where the weighted average grade of the first 3 activities is equal to or higher than 8. In this case the final grade will correspond to the weighted average grade of all the activities in the subject.
For activities 1, 2 and 3, if the result of their evaluation is not satisfactory or the teachers consider it opportune, they will be able to summon the members of a group to the realization of a test of individualized evaluation.
