An information and communication technologies-based framework for enhancing project management education through competence assessment and development

This work resulted from collaboration between Brunel University, Tampere University, Finland and Evollute LLC. The approach presented has been developed to assess key but soft skills sought after by employers in Engineering Project Management. We aimed at addressing the important problem of understanding the strengths, weaknesses, current competences, and existing soft skills of new postgraduates starting a course on Project Management. Instructors can then adapt and optimise delivery of such modules, enhance the overall learning experience, and assist the module leader in enhancing content and assessing teaching effectiveness. Results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed process for wider deployment.
