In this document you will find material essential for the successful completion of MGMT222.
There is no single core text for the module, instead the module will require you to engage
with a range of texts and academic journal articles. Three books (Brook 2017, Cartlidge
2015 and Lester 2014) serve as good reference texts for the whole module. Other reference
material has been specially selected to help you develop an understanding of specific topics
covered by the module. A full list of the core reference texts, as well as some recommended
additional reading, is included at the end of this document. Full text versions of all the
references are available online, via the University Library website.
There is only one coursework assignment on this module, worth 50% of the module mark.
The coursework aims to help you develop your understanding of the project planning
process and allow you to demonstrate your skills in the use of project planning software. The
coursework assignment will run during most of the semester and requires you to create a
detailed project plan reflecting content of the weekly lectures. Details of the coursework
assignment are included in this handout.
The end of module exam is worth 50% of the module mark and will last 2hrs. To help you
prepare for the exam, lectures towards the end of the semester will focus on exam skills and
review support material that will be of use to you when drafting answers to exam questions.
New to the module this year and in response to requests by students in previous years, we
have included an opportunity for you to participate in a visit to a company engaged in the
management of construction projects. Every student will have the opportunity to undertake
one of the planned company visits. The aim of the company visits is to raise awareness of
how construction projects are managed and to give you an opportunity to see how theory
covered on the module is applied in practice. The School is also hopeful that the visits may
be of assistance when you consider the merits of undertaking a placement at the end of this
year of study. As the company visits are a new programme initiative, they will be run as a
formative exercise and will not be assessed, so attendance is voluntary. Based on your
feedback about the visits this year, we will assess how they are planned and run in future
years.
We hope you enjoy the module and are able to take from it a number of useful lessons that
will assist you in your future careers as practicing engineers.
