Project Management for Landscape Engineers 2

Projektledning för landskapsingenjörer 2

I den här kursen får du arbeta med utmaningar kopplade till hållbar planering och förvaltning av framtidens städer. Utmaningarna för framtidens landskapsingenjörer är komplexa, inte minst för att det finns många aktörer att hantera och starka, ibland motstridiga intressen. Vårt redskap när det gäller att arbeta tillsammans med människor i komplexa situationer är kommunikation.


Under kursen får du lära sig använda verktyg för att kunna hantera olika situationer som yrkesverksamma landskapsingenjörer möter. Föreläsningar och litteraturseminarier ger dig fördjupad teoretisk förståelse och nya förhållningssätt. Till hjälp kommer vi att fokusera på ett antal centrala begrepp: Aktör, delaktighet, demokrati, dialog, information, intressemotsättning, kommunikation, komplexitet, metod, perspektivtagande, process, professionell, projekt, samtal, samverkan, utvärdering och yrke.


Genom studiebesök och gästföreläsningar samt i projektarbeten i grupp får du möjlighet att reflektera över olika yrkesroller såsom myndighets- samt ledarrollen och dess förutsättningar med fokus på kommunikativa aspekter.

The purpose of the course is to develop knowledge and practice skills within the construction process, construction management and communication to be able to handle different situations that professional landscape engineers encounter.

On completion of the course, the student should be able to:

Knowledge and understanding

  • give an overview of relevant theories of and models for communication, especially concerning planning, construction and management of public spaces;

  • give an overview of how a construction project is planned, organized and carried out;

Content

Landscape engineers work within the green sector with challenges linked to sustainable planning and management of the cities of the future. The challenges for landscape engineers of the future are complex, not least because there are many actors to deal with and strong, sometimes conflicting interests. Our tool regarding to working with people in complex situations is communication.

The course deals with professional roles such as the authority and project leader roles and its preconditions with a focus on communicative aspects and project management in practice. This incorporates study visits and guest lectures as well as a project work in groups.

During the course, skills are practiced mainly in practical exercises, while lectures and literature seminars are primarily aimed at deepening theoretical understanding and new approaches.

During the course, a major group assignment is carried out where the group follows and analyzes a real project with a focus on how the project has been managed and how it has progressed.

Mandatory elements are literature seminars, presentation of projects and opposition to projects.

Grading form

The grade requirements within the course grading system are set out in specific criteria. These criteria must be available by the course start at the latest.
