Presentation of the subject

The "Project Management II" subject is designed to enable participants to carry out 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, specifically the detailed engineering and the execution of the project. Apart from the theoretical content studied, the students develop an industrial project as a group, based on the preliminary project developed in the subject of Project Management I of the third year. Additionally, the basic aspects of managing an engineering project office are analyzed.

The classroom in which the subject is taught (physically or virtually) is a safe space, free of sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic and discriminatory attitudes, whether towards students or teachers. We trust that together we can create a safe space where we can make mistakes and learn without having to suffer prejudice from others.

Activities and evaluation system

Attendance at theoretical and practical sessions is mandatory in order to be assessed in the subject.

Although some activities are delivered as a group, their evaluation will be individual.

The final grade for the subject is the weighted sum of the grades of the activities if the grade for activity 5 is greater than or equal to 4,0 points out of 10, otherwise, the final grade will be that of activity 5. If the grade for activity 5 is greater than or equal to 4 points out of 10, the final grade is as follows:

Activity 1: 20%

Activity 2: 10%

Activity 3: 10%

Activity 4: 10%

Activity 5: 50%

The retake exam replaces activity 5. The retake exam only gives the option to pass the subject with a grade of 5,0 if the grade in the retake exam is equal to or greater than 4,0 out of 10, and the weighted average grade with the corresponding weights of the first four activities is equal to or greater than 5,0. If the grade in the retake exam is less than 4 out of 10, the grade in the retake exam will directly be the grade for the subject.

The identification of plagiarism is considered a serious circumstance that results in a failing grade in the subject. 

For other aspects, the "Regulations for the evaluation of Degree courses of the TecnoCampus University Center" approved by the Governing Commission of the TecnoCampus University Center in the session of June 14, 2024, will be strictly followed.
