PROJECT MANAGEMENT COURSE PACKAGE FOR COLLEGES

An educational version of a major project management software package has been specially produced for colleges to include in their engineering and management courses.

The authors of the package, Hornet Windmill, have been approached by a number of colleges to make an integrated project management, planning and control methods package available for teaching.

The Hornet Windmill package combines a full version of the Hornet Windmill for Windows system software, backed up by on-line product documentation and tutorial and course notes on a single CD-Rom.

"Many management and engineering courses include a basic introduction to scheduling and planning techniques", said Dr Simon Barber, one of the authors.

"Prime objectives of this teaching package are hands-on experience of typical project management software reinforced by a solid introduction to the methods and principles that can be applied by colleges when giving an insight into the key role of engineering management".

"The package we have produced has been very well received by colleges to date and we are writing to others so that they may consider the relevance of the system to their own course material".

The total Hornet Windmill package is offered to bona-fide educational establishments at less than one third of a single user system in the commercial field.

The Hornet Windmill project planning and control software together with support registration for the first year is £495.

Colleges wishing to find out more about the offer can contact Hornet Windmill direct or visit their web site.
