Learning Outcomes: Cognitive Skills
On the completion of this course successful students will be able to: |
|
The capability to plan, conduct, present and report a major independent research project in construction and project management.
(EL9M, SM8M, EA8M, D9M, EA5M, SM9M, G1m, G4m.)
|
Teaching/Learning Methods and Strategies
Students’ intellectual skills are developed through lectures, tutorials, directed reading, problem-solving scenarios and student presentations.
Opportunity for the development of intellectual skills within the programme is given by the individual and independent research project work. The range of topics covered in the program will develop the student’s ‘problem solving skills’ to a high level and help them to think in new and imaginative ways to solve difficult real life problems on construction site and organisations.
Students’ intellectual skills are further developed through approved induction programmes, mentoring at practical working at their host company / organisation, together with regular Supervision by QUB CPM Staff.
Methods of Assessment
During Year 1:
Assessment is made using coursework and oral presentations by both individuals and project groups.
In the case of the MSc independent Research Project, assessment will be on an 18,000-20,000 word dissertation.
During Year 2:
Assessment will be made using Interim and Final Written reports prepared by the student, together with a Final PowerPoint Presentation and a Q&A Session led by QUB CPM Supervisory Staff. Assessment may also take Internship reports from host Mentors into account for the PASS/FAIL assessment. (Mentors will be approved by QUB during the Internship approval process).

Learning Outcomes: Transferable Skills
On the completion of this course successful students will be able to: |

|
Teaching/Learning Methods and Strategies
Students’ transferable skills are developed through presentations exercises, student and tutor-led discussions, preparation for oral and written presentations, group-working exercises and the extended individual project.
Practical skills in the use of Information Technology are as practically assessed in the development of detailed project programmes and use of qualitative and statistical analysis tools. The development of IT skills are integral of the learning and teaching process underpinning the degree and are assessed directly, in conjunction with the students ability to apply these principles in the context of project management.
In the case of the independent Research Project students will, with appropriate Supervision, independently produce a structured research document with clear aims and objectives, stating hypotheses to be tested within a relevant CPM area. The research will include a review of research methodologies, a comprehensive literature review and the development of research questions to test their hypotheses in a social sciences research context. The dissertation will clearly communicate their analysis of the data obtained, how it may or may not align with literature or agree with their hypotheses. It will also discuss implications for practice within the construction industry.

Teaching/Learning Methods and Strategies
Student’s practical skills are developed through independent study supported by lectures, tutorials and group work.
Students’ specific skills in CPM are further developed through approved induction programmes, mentoring and practical work experience at their host company / organisation, together with regular Supervision by QUB CPM Staff.
In the case of the MSc independent Research Project students will, with appropriate Supervision, independently produce a structured research document with clear aims and objectives, stating hypotheses to be tested within a relevant CPM area. The research will include a review of research methodologies, a comprehensive literature review and the development of research questions to test their hypotheses in a social sciences research context. The dissertation will clearly communicate their analysis of the data obtained, how it may or may not align with literature or agree with their hypotheses. It will also discuss implications for practice within the construction industry.
Methods of Assessment
During Year 1:
Assessment is made using , coursework and oral presentations by both individuals and project groups.
In the case of the MSc independent Research Project, assessment will be on an 18,000-20,000 word dissertation.
During Year 2:
Assessment of students’ specific skills in CPM will be made using Interim and Final Written reports prepared by the student, together with a Final PowerPoint Presentation and a Q&A Session led by QUB CPM Supervisory Staff. Assessment may also take Internship reports from host Mentors into account for the PASS/FAIL assessment. (Mentors will be approved by QUB during the Internship approval process).
