Objectives

This course unit aims at training students in the analysis of systems and in developing projects in an enterprise context, namely by integrating  concepts, techniques and strategies studied in previous courses.

Learning outcomes and competences

At the end of this course unit, students should be capable of: 
• describing and explaining the principles of systems engineering; 
• enumerating and explaining the main techniques of modelling and system analysis; 
• describing, explaining and applying principles, concepts and techniques related to project management; 
• acquiring work experience in medium-size projects; 
• acquiring work experience in a collaborative environment distributed and based on the internet.

Program

Systems Analysis and Project Management Analysis: Framework 
Systems Engineering • Systems and their life-cycle • The process of systems engineering • The role of engineering in enterprise systems • Standards • System Engineering tools Project Management • Projects and life cycle (project stages): starting, planning (hierarchical decomposition of the project, setting dependencies, effort estimation, resources assignment, time allocation, diagrams, documents of a project plan); monitoring and control (measurement of a project progress, re planning); finishing. • Areas of knowledge: integration management, scope, time management, costs management, quality management, human resources management, communication management, risk management, supply management. • Standards • Project Management Tools Project teams • Team, organisational culture, organisational policies, personal communication, meetings, logbooks, tools Case studies (teamwork) • Development and exploration of multidisciplinary projects in medium-sized teams

Teaching methods and learning activities

This course unit will be based on the presentation of the strategic framework and scope of System Analysis and Project Management, along with the presentation and discussion of cases studies. It will be presented some extra themes if they help students carrying out their projects. Students will have to carry out projects and they will be organised in a team.

Type of evaluation: Avaliação distribuída sem exame final

Terms of frequency: To be admitted to exams, students cannot miss more classes than allowed by the rules. Besides they have to actively participate in the planning and conclusion of the projects.

Evaluation Type

Distributed evaluation without final exam

Calculation formula of final grade

Team assessment (60 % )

◦ (10%) quality manual evaluation

◦ (10% ) Evaluation of the requirements specification document

◦ (10%) Evaluation Plan for Energy Efficiency

◦ (10%) Evaluation of the presentation to customers

◦ (10%) Performance evaluation , by customers

◦ (10%) Evaluation of quality of specialty services , from the remaining teams


Individual assessment (40%)

◦ (20%) Teachers will make a different assessment by student taking into account:

◦A self-assessment group performance

◦O performance of departments (Dir . General, Dir . Project , Dir . Expertise I , Dir . Specialty II , Dir . Commercial, Dir . Quality)

◦ (20% ) Evaluation of mini-test
