2. Pre-Requisites
In order for students to acquire the skills and learning objectives stated and described in this file, it is highly recommended to have completed the subject of “Proyectos” or “Oficina Técnica”, and have acquired knowledge for the calculation, design and development of an engineering project.
Likewise, it would be desirable for students to have a minimum level of English B1 or equivalent.
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
This subject belongs to the "Management" module, associated with the specific competencies described in the Annex to Ministerial Order CIN / 311/2009 of February 9, 2009, which establishes the requirements of the curriculum leading to the obtaining of official university degrees that qualify for the exercise of the profession of Industrial Engineer, published in the BOE on 02/18/2009. This document explicitly mentions that one of the compulsory subjects of any curriculum of the Master's degree in Industrial Engineering must be Project Management.
The following considerations justify the subject in this curriculum:
In an internationally globalized environment, with high competition between companies and with restrictions on the availability of material, human and financial resources, skills related to optimal management of the resources involved in any type of project are sorely needed.
With this subject, the student will develop skills in the field of Project Management (PM). PM is understood as "the art of directing and coordinating human and material resources, throughout the life cycle of the project to achieve the predetermined objectives of scope, cost, time, quality and satisfaction of the project stakeholders".
It is intended to provide the student with the necessary tools to exercise with guarantees the work of Project Manager that is booming so much in all types of sectors in which the industrial engineer has professional capacity.
The content of the subject complies with the bodies of knowledge of the most prestigious national and international associations of Project Management, such as:
- AEIPRO: Asociación Española de Ingeniería de Proyectos (Spain)
- IPMA: International Project Management Association (Europe)
- PMI: Project Management Institute (USA / America)

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Grading System | |||
| Evaluation System | Face-to-Face | Self-Study Student | Description |
| Final test | 30.00% | 0.00% | Written exam with theoretical questions, practices, practical cases and / or problems. To pass this test it will be necessary to obtain a minimum score of 5 points. |
| Progress Tests | 20.00% | 0.00% | Presentation of written works and / or written exams with theoretical questions, practices, cases and / or problems. |
| Theoretical papers assessment | 30.00% | 0.00% | Evaluation of academic work carried out by students outside of class and supervised by the teacher individually or in small groups. |
| Practicum and practical activities reports assessment | 10.00% | 0.00% | Reports of practical cases proposed in class will be presented, evaluating the way in which the techniques and tools worked in class are applied. |
| Assessment of activities done in the computer labs | 10.00% | 0.00% | Evaluation of the practices in the computer room (or personal laptops) with application of specific software. |
| Total: | 100.00% | 0.00% | |
Evaluation criteria for the final exam:
Continuous evaluation of all training processes that will be weighted to obtain a final grade between 0 and 10 according to the current legislation (Real Decreto 1125/2003 de 5 de septiembre). The evaluation of the student is the result of the course follow-up and / or the exam or written test that will consist of theoretical questions and practical exercises. The course follow-up is based on:
- Evaluation of the assimilation of concepts and procedures through written tests.
- Evaluation of the acquisition of practical skills through an ad-hoc built profile of competences that considers the documentation submitted by the student, individually or in small groups, through reports, the work developed, and the skills and attitudes shown during assessments and guided practical activities.
- Evaluation of academic work carried out by students outside of class and supervised by the professor, individually or in small groups. The student must make, deliver, and defend before the professor a report with some of the proposed exercises. The professor will assess the presentation, exhibition, defense, and difficulty of the chosen exercises.
- Evaluation of laboratory practices in the computer room with application of specific software by assessing the attendance to the practices, the delivery of the work done in class, and the realization of a practical test in the same classroom.
The final grade of the student is from 0 to 10 points, taking into account the following remarks:
- Failure to overcome the activities considered mandatory in the table of section 7 with a minimum score of 4 points, will inevitably lead to an overall grade of the subject not exceeding 4 points.
- The grade obtained in the progress tests (partials) is saved until the ordinary call. To pass and be able to weight the subject of each partial, a minimum grade of 4 points must be obtained.
- The grade obtained in the elaboration of reports of practices is saved until the extraordinary call.
- The grade obtained in the elaboration of reports or works (the project of the subject) is saved until the extraordinary call.
- Evaluation of the assimilation of concepts and procedures through written tests.
- Evaluation of the acquisition of practical skills through an ad-hoc built profile of competences that considers the documentation submitted by the student, individually or in small groups, through reports, the work developed, and the skills and attitudes shown during assessments and guided practical activities.
- Evaluation of academic work carried out by students outside of class and supervised by the professor, individually or in small groups. The student must make, deliver, and defend before the professor a report with some of the proposed exercises.

- The grade obtained in the elaboration of reports of practices is saved until the extraordinary call.
- The grade obtained in the elaboration of reports or works (the project of the subject) is saved until the extraordinary call.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
The students who have not attended and delivered the practice reports and / or the project of the subject will attend it. In order to pass the subject in the extraordinary call, they must deliver the practice reports and the project of the subject in addition to take the final test that will include all the contents of the subject.
Students who do not attend the extraordinary session will be considered as NOT TAKEN.
Students who do not attend the extraordinary session will be considered as NOT TAKEN.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
As in the extraordinary call.
