What exactly does project management do?

Project management is to manage the whole process of a project from conception to formal operation (specific work includes: opportunity study, preliminary feasibility study, final feasibility study, survey and design, bidding, procurement, construction and trial operation, etc.). ).

Engineering management is a good major, with basic knowledge of management, economics and civil engineering technology, mastering the theories, methods and means of modern management science, and being able to engage in project decision-making and whole-process management in the field of engineering construction at home and abroad.

There is a strange development trend in modern society, that is, the social division of labor is more and more clear, social production is more and more refined, occupational segregation is more and more obvious, and interlaced scanning is more and more common; On the other hand, the production of modern society needs more and more compound talents, that is, T-type talents. People with management skills or engineering skills can no longer adapt to the development of society. Students majoring in engineering management are models of T-type talents. They know both technology and management, which just meets the needs of society.

Engineering management majors train compound senior management talents who have the basic knowledge of management, economics and civil engineering technology, master the theories, methods and means of modern management science, and can engage in project decision-making and whole-process management in the field of engineering construction at home and abroad. During their study at school, students should receive basic quality training from engineers and economists, and lay a solid foundation in engineering technology, management, economy, law, foreign languages and computer applications. In the process of training engineering management professionals, the School of Management actively provides corresponding conditions for students to study with double degrees and double majors in related disciplines according to their own abilities.

Many students think that project management is a simple management discipline, which is incorrect. Engineering management not only needs to learn a management idea, but also needs a certain engineering background and mathematical knowledge. In the study of this major, we should understand that a basic equation is "project management = engineering technology+economic management". Of course, it is not a simple addition, but a few basic skills: 1. Master theoretical knowledge and practical skills based on civil engineering technology; 2. Master relevant management theories and methods; 3. Master relevant economic theories; 4. Master relevant laws and regulations; 5. Have theoretical knowledge and practical ability of engineering management; 6. Have the ability to read foreign language documents of engineering management; 7. Have the ability to use computers to solve project management problems; 8. Strong scientific research ability. Generally speaking, engineering management is mainly based on management science, which is suitable for candidates with strong interpersonal skills and good at rational thinking.

The training goal of this major is to cultivate senior engineering management talents who meet the needs of modernization, develop morally, intellectually and physically, have basic knowledge of engineering technology, economic management and law, obtain basic training for engineers, and have strong practical ability, innovative ability and organizational management ability. The major of engineering management conforms to the knowledge structure of national registered supervision engineer and national registered cost engineer, and its professional direction covers engineering project management, real estate management, engineering investment and cost management, and international engineering contracting. Graduates can engage in engineering consulting, engineering project construction, real estate development and management, etc., with wide professional coverage, wide employment scope and great social demand.
