The aim of this unit is to provide an in-depth understanding of project integration and procurement management to meet stakeholder objectives. Students explore the principle of integrating the major elements of project management to control projects from charter to closure. The emphasis is the development, monitoring and control of projects in support of both project and organisational value. Procurement management focuses on that part of the project's scope of work or materials that will be bought from another organisation, either as a result of company alliance arrangements, or most often resulting from contracting or subcontracting. Purchased work packages undertaken by another firm must be well defined and managed with great care, or disputes, claims, and project delays will arise, impacting cost, schedule, and ultimately project success. As many projects require the procurement of materials, the imperatives of supply chain management are explored. Project procurement creates a legal relationship and thus there is an understanding requirement of the basics of contract law.

Students will engage in learning experiences via ECU’s LMS as well as additional ECU learning technologies
On-campus students attend a weekly lecture/seminar involving formal lectures, group activities and focused discussions. The unit will be taught through an interactive lecture process, whereby students will be asked to answer questions, and the ensuing discussion will lead the learning and teaching. The use of cases, study aids, and quizzes will enhance student learning. The Internet will be a key resource for students, and they will use LMS to access updates, articles, and other unit-related material. Students studying online will access the program via LMS and regular on line access is required. Students need to be actively engaged in the unit by reading the required materials and following the study guide. Regular on line access is required.

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.
