Description

This course aims to develop your understanding in project management principles. It also aims to develop your professional attributes in line with the framework developed by Engineers Australia. 

As an engineer, one day you will work in real life projects as a team member, or you will lead and manage the team as a project manager. This course introduces you to relevant concepts, principles and techniques for effective leadership and management of engineering projects. The activities youcomplete in this course will help you to understandissues that might arise on multidisciplinary projects, and expose you to a range of tools and techniques required in managing projects.  

UniSA Online’s 10-week short courses give you the flexibility to upskill in a certain area, stay current with developments in your field, diversify your knowledge, or even explore a new direction in your career – without having to commit to the time and cost of a full university degree.  

Delivered 100% online, you’ll be able to study where and when it suits you. Access online academic and student support seven days a week, fit study around work and life commitments, view learning resources 24/7, and log in to the interactive online environment anywhere, any time and on any device. 

This is a course from UniSA Online’s Associate Degree in Engineering.
