Project Management

pm

Project management team studies techniques and tools used by a vast number of industries and organizations. In civil engineering, project management is important in controlling costs, scheduling, and efficient use of resources. Project initiation, time management, cost management, quality management, human resource management, code of professional conduct and use of computer-based tools and techniques are studied by the project management team.
