Description
This specializing master is made of 552 hours of lectures split between 402 hours of
various project management subjects and 150 hours of contract management. No
intermediate tests are scheduled, instead at the end of the course 200 working hours will be dedicated to the writing of a dissertation that will be reviewed and judged by the academic committee. The subject of the thesis must be the description of a project, or eventually more projects, in which each student is involved while following the master, or has been involved in the past. And the ultimate goal of the thesis is to show how each student has learnt to use in her/his profession some of the tools provided by the master. Each student will be able to write her/his dissertation autonomously. The lessons will be in Italian and English.
Educational project
This specializing master course aims to give the main tools of project management to
both engineers and architects. Nowadays it is getting more and more important to know
how any project should be managed from its inception to its end, in order to optimize
costs and to get forward according to a predefined schedule. During this specializing
master the students will be introduced to the theory of project management, of
investment valuation, and financial accounting. They will receive all the information
needed to obtain the PMI (Project Management Institute) certifications and the IPMA
(International Project Management Association) certifications. They will receive all the
information needed to become a Lean Green Belt Project Leader. And all the information
needed to become an accredited project manager in Italy with Accredia. Specific
knowledge about digitization of the construction industry and about data analysis will be
provided, and the students will learn how to use a powerful tool like Matlab for data
management. The construction industry generates a huge amount of data which until
now have been mostly wasted. The ability to collect those data, to store them, to
interpret and to use them efficiently will lead in the future to major competitive
advantages. A whole unit is about soft skills, those interpersonal attitudes and
capabilities that make the difference between a good project manager and a mediocre
one. In a world where automation is becoming the norm, the abilities to deal with
people, to manage relationships, to communicate well and to lead are becoming more
and more relevant, abilities that by their very nature won¿t be replicated by machines
for still a very long time to come.Besides all these PM tools, specific knowledge about
contract, claim and delay management will be provided to the students.
The need for technicians (engineers and/or architects) who become skilled in managing
contracts and claims, and who can perform a delay analysis in accordance with
established international standards is ever more urgent among the most important
general contractors in Italy and abroad.
Requirements
Candidates with a Master of Science in Engineering, Architecture and similar scientific
disciplines could be eligible. For those candidates who graduated abroad equivalent study
titles in their countries and educational institutions will be accepted and evaluated.
