Last Update:

Course Objective: In the new world of Industry 4.0, digitized connectivity may be considered the main driver of change industries have to deal with. This change increases the opportunities to create new business models, exploring network of systems that will allow to increase the cooperation between and across companies and industries. It is expected an increase in customized services that ultimately can become a service for each customer. In this case, we will be dealing with a project service for each customer each time. These projects will be developed by interdisciplinary distributed teams using digital platforms. This course aims to prepare graduates to perform in and manage projects and teams in the new highly agile digitized challenging smart industries.

Learning Outcomes: The students on the completion of this course would be able to:

CLO1 – Discuss Project Management relevance in the context of IND4.0 (Apply)
CLO2 – Evaluate the needs of an organization regarding IND 4.0, taking into account maturity / readiness models (Evaluate)
CLO3 – Plan, develop and manage projects in the context of IND 4.0, using frameworks of project management, such as PMI, IPMA and Agile/Lean (Create)
CLO4 – Support team decision making processes in accordance with the contingencies and uncertain environments of IND 4.0. (Evaluate)
CLO5 – Perform as a member of an extraordinary team, either distributed or co-located, using different tools and techniques, considering the team development phases (Create).
CLO6 – Develop a project within a real context, in interaction with an industry organization.

Teaching and Learning Method:

This is a project-based learning course, where teams of students will solve an open ended problem related to the Industry 4.0. During lecture sessions, concepts will be discussed as much as possible in an inductive manner, using student-centered methodologies (e.g. simulations, think-pair-share, gamification and project-based learning). During workshop sessions, teams of students will develop their projects with the supervision of the instructors, developing different competences related to technical parts of Project Management, and including, but not limited to, project planning, execution and controlling, time management, team management, decision making, problem-solving, critical thinking, written communication, oral communication, presentation, communication and teamwork.

Time Distribution and Study Load:
Lectures: 30 hours
Workshop / project: 30 hours
Self-study: 45 hours

Evaluation Scheme: The final grade will be computed according to the following weight distribution: Individual weekly portfolio entries (10%); overall global portfolio (40%); project presentation and discussion (50%). These will be divided in Oral communication (40%); Written communication (20%); Presentation (10%); Peer Assessment (10%) and Personal Development (20%).

An “A” would be awarded if a student can demonstrate clearly effective project management competences for industry 4.0.
A “B” would be awarded if a student can show good progress on project management competences for industry 4.0.
A “C” would be given if a student can show reasonable progress on project management competences for industry 4.0.
A “D” would be given if a student shows a lack of improvement in project management competences for industry 4.0.

Teaching and Learning Methods:

The course is focused on personal activity and group work. The workshop is a project classes and assignments. The project task concerns work in a group (about 10 people), during which each participant will actively use their own knowledge to write a joint project work. The project group will be creating the supply chain in the industry chosen by the group. Presentation the project, discussion and activity at workshop   will allow to implement the assumed learning outcomes for the course.
