- Apply Project Management Methodologies and Tools: Students will learn about different methodological approaches, such as PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge), Agile, Scrum, among others. They will also be exposed to a variety of tools and techniques used in project management, including Gantt charts, RACI matrix, risk analysis, among others.

In this program, students will have the opportunity to develop their leadership, team management and interpersonal communication skills through practical exercises, case studies and project simulations (Chapter 6)
- Analyze and Solve Project Management Problems: Students will be challenged to analyze common problems faced in project management and apply problem-solving techniques to find effective solutions. They will learn to identify and mitigate risks, resolve conflicts, manage change and ensure the successful delivery of projects within the established deadline and budget.
Teaching methodologies
Regarding the theoretical foundations, an expository methodology will be used with examples, practical cases and analogies to present the various concepts, encouraging reflection, analysis and critical thinking. An attempt will also be made to develop a participatory methodology throughout the classes, encouraging students to participate and discuss the examples presented, encouraging autonomy. This methodology aims at active participation through the analysis of the resolution of real cases in the knowledge domain, being guided in the search for solutions.
Regarding the tutoring component, this methodology will focus on monitoring the exercises and practical cases presented and the work to be developed throughout the semester.

CONTINUOUS EVALUATION
The knowledge assessment consists of:
T - Test and
PROJ – Preparation of a project and presentation with discussion (in group)
Final Grade = 0.40 x T + 0.60 X PROJ
Grades:
1) Each group, consisting of a maximum of 4 students, must send, by the end of the 2nd class, to the teacher, a form containing the group's identification;
2) Each assessment element individually has a minimum score of 10;
FINAL EVALUATION
It is aimed at students who did not undergo continuous assessment or whose final grade was less than 10 points.
The assessment consists of individual work with discussion.
It is the student's responsibility to validate the work to be presented with the teacher.
If the individual test grade is lower than 10, there will be no approval.
SPECIAL SEASON
Knowledge assessment is carried out as in the final assessment period.
It is the student's responsibility to validate the work to be presented with the teacher.
If the individual test grade is lower than 10, there will be no approval.
Note: For Grade Improvement, the same applies as for the special season.
