Independent Research Assessment of Project Management Factors Affecting Department of Energy Success
Prepared for the U.S. Department of Energy by the Civil Engineering Research Foundation. This report presents the findings of a research study to improve the project management undertaken by the U.S. Department of Energy. It identifies key components affecting project performance, evaluates performance factors, measures, and metrics in relation to their correlation with project success; and makes recommendations with regard to improving performance on different types of projects. Sixteen projects were selected by the DOE Office of Engineering and Construction Management, and then examined by the independent research team, which grouped and prioritized factors affecting success and formulated recommendations.
Engineering Your Future
Round out your technical engineering abilities with the business know-how you need to succeed Technical competency, the "hard side" of engineering and other technical professions, is necessary but not sufficient for success in business. Young engineers must also develop nontechnical or "soft-side" competencies like communication, marketing, ethics, business accounting, and law and management in order to fully realize their potential in the workplace. This updated edition of Engineering Your Future is the go-to resource on the nontechnical aspects of professional practice for engineering students and young technical professionals alike. The content is explicitly linked to current efforts in t...
