A HANDS-ON GUIDE FOR CREATING A WINNING ENGINEERING PROJECT
_Engineering Project Management_ is a practical, step-by-step guide to
project management for engineers. The author - a successful, long-time
practicing engineering project manager - describes the techniques and
strategies for creating a successful engineering project. The book
introduces engineering projects and their management, and then
proceeds stage-by-stage through the engineering life-cycle project,
from requirements, implementation, to phase-out. The book offers
information for understanding the needs of the end user of a product
and other stakeholders associated with a project, and is full of
techniques based on real, hands-on management of engineering projects.
The book starts by explaining how we perform the actual engineering on
projects; the techniques for project management contained in the rest
of the book use those engineering methods to create superior
management techniques. Every topic - from developing a work-breakdown
structure and an effective project plan, to creating credible
predictions for schedules and costs, through monitoring the progress
of your engineering project - is infused with actual engineering
techniques, thereby vastly increasing the effectivity and credibility
of those management techniques.
The book also teaches you how to draw the right conclusions from
numeric data and calculations, avoiding the mistakes that often cause
managers to make incorrect decisions. The book also provides valuable
insight about what the author calls the _social aspects_ of
engineering project management: aligning and motivating people,
interacting successfully with your stakeholders, and many other
important people-oriented topics. The book ends with a section on
ethics in engineering.
This important book:

management plan
* Includes background information, strategies, and techniques on
project management designed for engineers
* Takes an easy-to-understand, step-by-step approach to project
management
* Contains ideas for launching a project, managing large amount of
software, and tips for ending a project
Structured to support both undergraduate and graduate courses in
engineering project management, _Engineering Project Management_ is an
essential guide for managing a successful project from the idea phase
to the completion of the project.
