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 intermediwill be dedicated to the writing of a master thesis 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
The candidates whith a Bachelor or 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. The Scientific Council of this Specializing Master chooses which candidates will be
admitted.
