Effective Project Management for Engineers & Scientists

Sponsored links

This is an intensive one-day course taught by Dr Steve New, a specialist in project management from the University of Oxford's prestigious Saïd Business School.

This course is about the management of projects in high-technology and science-based settings, but the emphasis is on the management aspects and not on technology per se. The examples and materials that we discuss relate to R&D, product development, and software projects. Usually, many of the delegates are themselves scientists and engineers who are in the process of taking on more managerial roles and responsibilities, but that does not need to be the case.

Successful project management is one of the greatest challenges for scientists, engineers, and other managers in innovative and scientific companies. Using examples from electronics, computer software, hardware and biotechnology, this course builds the skills that will help you to organise and manage your R&D projects and measure their performance.
