Learning Outcomes of the Curricular Unit:
At the end of this Curricular unit, students should be able to:
-Realize the importance of using project management, presenting the most used objectives and tools (planning and control of time, resources and costs, estimating costs, evaluating Projects, analysis of proposals...);
-Use of project management tools, including computer applications;
-Experimentation and simulation, seeking to identify alternative project solutions and test their viability;
-Interpretation of results of simulations performed, comparing functions, costs and deadlines of alternative solutions-to provide students with skills in product design and project implementation.
-Development of skills in the student of his ability to design products and implement his project, teaching him to define goals, to determine goals, to calculate the time required for execution and to create a project calendar.

Knowledge areas. Project Integration. Project scope. Schedule Management. Costs. Quality. Resources. Communications. Scratchs. Acquisitions. Interested parts. 3.2 Process Flow. Initiation. Planning. Execution. Monitoring and control. 4. Planning Methods. 4.1 Duration, refusals and critical path. 4.2 PERT and CPM Methods. 4.3 Resource constrained planning. 4.5 Project Acceleration: Cost vs. Time.
Demonstration of the Syllabus Coherence with the Curricular Unit's Objectives:
Quality planning is characterized by a frequent occurrence of manifestations of lack of quality, including defects and breakdowns in various areas, misfits in the face of users ' requirements, large deviations in costs and deadlines. These problems result in discontent of customers. The Quality planning curricular unit seeks to present and frame the quality activity and its processes, in particular those that unfold upstream of the implementation phase. It is also intended to present a set of quality project management tools.
Teaching Methodologies (Including Evaluation):
Oral exposure, group work and case studies.The evaluation of knowledge will be carried out continuously (AC), through the elaboration and presentation of work performed in a group, to be carried out in class, focusing on the themes taught; Periodically (AP), through two written proofs with a minimum duration of 1 hours and a maximum of 1 hours and 30 minutes that will be held on a date to be combined with the students and to focus on the topics taught up to the moment of evaluation. The final note (NF) of the curricular unit will be calculated by means of a weighted average between the simple arithmetic mean of the AC, the simple arithmetic mean of the AP: NF = (0.30) AC + (0.70) AP
Demonstration of the Coherence between the Teaching Methodologies and the Learning Outcomes:
Teaching methodologies develop the capabilities of using Project management tools, including computer applications, experimentation and simulation, seeking to identify alternative design solutions and test their viability, Interpretation of results of simulations performed, comparing functions, costs and deadlines for alternative solutions.
