The Department of the Built Environment (DBE) has been offering a Common Curriculum course, PF1101 Fundamentals of Project Management, since AY2021-2022. More than 5,300 students, both within and outside of the College of Design and Engineering, have now completed the course.<\/p>\n
In 2023, Wee Hur Holdings made an endowed donation to the University to establish the Wee Hur Prize. These include awards for students with the top-three highest marks for PF1101 in each semester. The inaugural awards for PF1101 were presented by Mr Sua Chen Shiua, Executive Director of Wee Hur Construction Pte. Ltd. The three winners are Calvin Yeo Jiahao (BIE1), Jen Le (CVE1) and Ryan Ng Jingkai (CEG1).<\/p>\n
Helmed by DBE\u2019s Professor Low Sui Pheng, a unique feature of this course is that students are given the opportunity to work on utilitarian projects to overcome challenges in 23 different industries which Singapore\u2019s Ministry of Trade & Industry and the Future Economy Advisory Panel identified in various Industry Transformation Maps. This is the first and only course in the University where students from different majors work together in multidisciplinary teams to solve real-world interdisciplinary problems in an environment that is volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous.<\/p>\n
In this context, the three prize-winning students worked on projects in the Air Transport, Food Services and Professional Services industries. Calvin\u2019s key takeaway from PF1101 is that it \u201ctransformed my perspective to recognize that project management is fundamentally about making informed decisions in uncertain conditions while not only managing but also motivating the people who will help bring your project to life.\u201d Jen added that \u201cPF1101 is about learning how to be an effective project manager, especially in a collaborative environment.\u201d As Ryan shared, \u201cI have learnt the many factors that go into consideration during the planning process of a project. Overall, this experience has shaped the way I approach projects in the future and is one I would consider a lesson for life.\u201d<\/p>\n
DBE acknowledges the generosity given by Wee Hur Holdings to encourage students in this project management learning journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
