Objective of the couse is to develop ability to work in a project team, to conceptualize, to design, and to manage delivery of the different engineering projects according to recognized methodology. Most of the industrial engineering tasks are project based such as product development, product and process improvement, decreasing costs, quality improvement etc. so it is of great importance to industrial engineers to have capacity to participate in project team.

Students who complete this course successfully will be able to design, launch and manage projects according to widely recognized methodology. They will be able to solve tasks such as product development, product and process improvement, decreasing costs ets. by using project methodology.
