RATIONALE
Project Management is a confluence of Management principles and Engineering subject
area, This course enables the students to develop conceptualisation of Engineering
Management principles and apply the same for their engineering projects, in their domains,
example, Software Development project or Construction Project and so on. The course
integrates three core areas of Planning, Execution and Auditing of Projects.
1. COURSE SKILL SET
Student will be able to:
1. Understand what constitutes a project, Plan for the execution of the project by
breaking into manageable work units, and Prepare necessary project artifacts
Track and control the Project while preparing verifiable records for Project
Inspections and Audits
3. Inspect and Audit projects for Milestones or other project completion criteria and
other metrics, Defects and remediation, Project learnings
4. Gain knowledge and develop curiosity on latest technology trends in Project
management

7. INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGY
These are sample Strategies, which teacher can use to accelerate the attainment of the
various course outcomes
1. Explicit instruction will be provided in intervention classes or by using different
differentiation strategies in the main classroom.
Department of Collegiate & Technical Educati
n Bengaluru-560001 Page 93Diploma in Mechanical Engineering | 2020-21 C20
2, Lecturer method (L) does not mean only traditional lecture method, but different type of
teaching method and media that are employed to develop the outcomes.
3. Observing the way their more proficient peers use prior knowledge to solve current
challenges and persevere in problem solving will help struggling students to improve
their approach to engaging with rich contextual problems.
4. Topics be introduced always with a reallife example and then answering What, how, why
and when
5. The teacher is able to show different ways to solve the same problem and encourage the
students to come up with their own creative ways to solve them.
6. Ina perfect world, teacher would always be able to demonstrate how every concept can
be applied to the real world - and when that's possible, it helps improve the students’
understanding. When a concept cannot be applied in that manner, we can still share how
it might be applied within mathematics.

v) His parents can not climb stairs and hence prefer a ground floor room
vi) All the rooms should have attached bathrooms
iddle aged and old people attend the
How-ever the Civil contractor who took the work, overshot the time and money available
and hence Dr Sunil was unhappy with the Architect firm who recommended the Contractor,
Task:
* Split the class into groups of three
* Ask them to prepare 2D drawings with Plan, Elevation, Sections and perspectives.
* Prepare the detailed WBS, a Project execution plan and Project communication plan
for contractors
* Estimate the quantities
* Discuss on the possible reasons for delay and methods with which performance to
both time and budget could have been achieved
* Present it in a seminar, with each group getting 5-10 minutes to present their idea.
