Course Objectives The course describes the processes from development of a project idea up to the start of operation for industrial plant investments. For this purpose, basis of investment idea, project development and project implementation phases, together with elements of project management during this whole process are described substantially: It is the aim to give practical background of feasibility, regulatory processes, planning, financing, design, construction and project management functions like document, cost, schedule and quality control.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Establishes fundamentals of feasibility and project management for realizing any business idea, without being limited to industrial plants.
  • Helps connection among engineering education and actual applications
  • Creates awareness about the significance of subjects like regulatory processes, financing, environmental impacts etc., which are at the background of technical processes of industrial investments.
  • Improves skills for development and presentation of project ideas
Course Content Development of investment project idea, revealing project justification and investability, relative levels of conceptual, basic and detailed design, roles of different engineering majors in plant design, conducting project feasibility, regulatory processes and permitting, project management, planning (schedule, cost, performance, risks), financing,
