PROTOTYPE PROGRAMME: Project management in aerospace, maritime and defence industry (ID 6.3)

Format: In presence

Language: Polish / English

EQF level: 6

Instructor: Dorota Stadnicka, Andrzej Majka

Hours: 15

Host institution: Politechnika Rzeszowska im. Ignacego Łukasiewicza

Context

Aviation, space, maritime and defence systems are complex products comprised of many subsystems which must meet demanding customer and operational lifecycle value requirements. The implementation of a new product into production or a new system for use requires meeting a number of requirements.

Objectives

Understanding how to apply the methodology of project management in the defence industry taking into account legal conditions and regulations related to product certification. During the course, students will be introduced to the basics of project management and to the specific requirements that should be taken into account when managing projects in the aerospace, maritime and defence industry.

Pre-requisites

Formal registration for an Engineering course. A student who wants to take the course must have the following skills:

  • Problems solving
  • General knowledge about aviation technologies
  • Knowledge about processes in industry
