Currently, most organizations are structured by projects. At the same time, more and more initiatives are being implemented through projects. It can be seen generally that despite this progressive adoption of projects as strategic and current implementation practices, most of them fail or fall short of expectations. Project management has been gaining increasing weight in engineering-related activities. This course aims to provide students with knowledge and technical mastery of the main global standards and practices.

Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
Active methods will be used for presentation, transmission, and interaction in class. The Active Method is an educational model in which students engage more directly in the learning process. Instead of merely receiving information, students are encouraged to participate actively, involving themselves in activities such as group discussions, problem-solving, practical projects, and experience-based learning. Additionally, the course will apply the concept of project-based learning, an educational approach that places students at the center of the learning process, allowing them to explore and apply concepts in real-world contexts. In this way, students work on realistic projects that require research, problem-solving, collaboration, and reflection.
