This capstone unit provides students with experience in bringing together and applying the skills and knowledge acquired in previous units within the project management major. Under the general supervision of the lecturer, each student will work in a designated team to collectively perform the management tasks required in all stages of a clearly defined project.
Students must have passed MAN3716.
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
Students will engage in learning experiences via ECU’s LMS as well as additional ECU learning technologies
In the unit, students work in teams to manage a project that is initially poorly defined. The lecturer performs the role of the project director and offers guidance about how the teams can clarify the scope, budget and expected time scales for the project. Students then plan the project, produce appropriate documentation and obtain approvals before work commences. In the directing phase, students use task completion and progress reports to update their baseline schedule as well as proposing responses to variations to the plan. In the final phase of the project, students prepare a set of final project reports which allow them to demonstrate their competency in project management and apply critical thinking to reflect on the performance of both themselves and the team. The unit is delivered using technology enhanced learning. Students will need to prepare for each workshop session by reading set texts, watching short videos and completing short exercises. Virtual video classrooms and webinars may occasionally be used and these are set out in the semester schedule.

For the purposes of considering a request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005), inherent requirements for this subject are articulated in the Unit Description, Learning Outcomes and Assessment Requirements of this entry. The University is dedicated to provide support to those with special requirements. Further details on the support for students with disabilities or medical conditions can be found at the Access and Inclusion website.
Integrity is a core value at Edith Cowan University, and it is expected that ECU students complete their assessment tasks honestly and with acknowledgement of other people's work. This means that assessment tasks must be completed individually (unless it is an authorised group assessment task) and any sources used must be referenced.
Breaches of academic integrity can include:
Copying the words, ideas or creative works of other people, without referencing in accordance with stated University requirements. Students need to seek approval from the Unit Coordinator within the first week of study if they intend to use some of their previous work in an assessment task (self-plagiarism).
Working with other students and submitting the same or substantially similar work or portions of work when an individual submission was required. This includes students knowingly providing others with copies of their own work to use in the same or similar assessment task(s).
Organising a friend, a family member, another student or an external person or organisation (e.g. through an online website) to complete or substantially edit or refine part or all of an assessment task(s) on their behalf.
Using or having access to unauthorised materials in an exam or test.
Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.
ECU's policies and more information about academic integrity can be found on the student academic integrity website.
All commencing ECU students are required to complete the Academic Integrity Module.
In some circumstances, Students may apply to their Unit Coordinator to extend the due date of their Assessment Task(s) in accordance with ECU's Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000001386.
Students may apply for Special Consideration in respect of a final unit grade, where their achievement was affected by Exceptional Circumstances as set out in the Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000003318.
