This book focuses on the administrative, financial and legal aspects of project management. It gives information relevant to all types and scales of project rather than concentrating on large scale civil engineering works. The multi-disciplinary nature of the subject is reflected by the backgound and interests of the contributors, yet the book is aimed primarily at undergraduate engineers. It is relevant to all engineering projects, including computer and software types and covers project development and evaluation, management of people, time and budget, legal aspects of contracts and of health and safety plus case studies from various industries. Dr Richard Stone is author of "Introduction to Internal Combustion Engines".
