Engineering Project Management

Basing on the analysis of problems existing in the comprehensive decision-making and balanced optimizing of project programs, the writer has introduced the method of physical planning to solve the problems of comprehensive decision-making and optimizing in the quality of the project management – time limit for a project - cost, and established the quality - time limit for a project- cost comprehensive evaluation and decision model as well as the quality - time limit for a project - cost optimization model. The proposed method has been proved effective through the cases of highway engineering project management.

Future Practice

Engineering managers are progressively tasked with leveraging digital technologies and innovations which have yet to be fully developed, to seek out opportunities and challenges in complex project contexts. However, there is a disparity between knowledge gained from engineering development programmes, and the rapidly changing landscape of modern project practice, which requires professionals to effectively engage and deploy relevant agile digital skills in practice. For example, complex engineering projects increasingly employ dynamic digital technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR / VR), 3D Printing, and Digital Twins, which require managers to quickly adapt to changing constraints through agile digital skills. Therefore, this paper seeks to focus on exploring the role of engineering project management programmes in developing knowledge and agile digital skills relevant for future project practice. Through an outline review of project management development programmes, this research paper suggests that their inherent value for engineering project managers, is largely dependent on a combination of applied research, engagement, and agile digital skills development for future practice.

This paper establish the index system of metro project which included four control targets of the engineering project management that is quality, cost, construction period, safety into integrated dynamic system. We realizes the PCA dimension of the 17indexes in the set and gets four principal components by using PCA of multivariate statistical methods. According to the feature vector of four main components, the main ingredients are classified and reorganized. By comparing the scores ranking of four redefined main components and evaluation scores ranking, we conduct integrated dynamic analysis of metro project objectives. Finally, the results of case study shows the conclusion is in line with the possible situations of the metro project management.
