Dear MSc students,

Welcome to the course MECH7016.

This is a new course which aims to educate students about the project management techniques and skill sets for railway projects. The Express Rail Link in H. K. (a high-speed railway line) costed over HK$86 billion, and it was an exceptionally large project investment. Up-to-date project management skills are therefore essential to ensure these mega railway projects be completed on time, within budget and with a high quality of works.

This course covers essential project management skills in time and resources planning, financial analysis and management techniques, project cost estimates, project investment appraisal, contract management, new engineering contracts, project risk management, quality management, environmental management and railway business management. For more details about the syllabus, please refer to the PowerPoints under the "Course contents".

I am sure students will discover that this course is useful and practical for their future engineering career. Should you have any queries, please drop me an e-mail. My e-mail address is leungkm2@hku.hk.

Regards,
Dr KM Leung
