Credit points: 15

Subject outline

Inaccurate costing and mitigation of risks are key areas which often result in project failures and in poor decision making. This subject aims to equip the student with fundamental risk-based methodologies and engineering economic analysis to facilitate effective quality and financial management. These tools will be practised within engineering case studies and environments to demonstrate the applicability of these concepts within engineering project management and quality systems implementation.
