The shortage of engineering professionals in working life together with the development of new teaching technologies had led to the necessity of real practices in engineering education field. This paper shows a project management simulation in which System Dynamics is proposed to apply for analyzing the effects of adding manpower to a software project management on total productivity, total costs and project duration. Students study how the introduction of new staff has different types of influence depending on the relationship established among the factors involved in the system. Results reveal th a t this method has a great impact in the competent training of engineers who need real management capacities and real experience in planning and project monitoring. Moreover, students increase their participation and interest in the concepts and encourage their comprehension into the performance of the system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
