The scope and relevance of project management
Management remains an art and a science. On the one hand, attention must be paid to the more human aspects since managers do not give orders to machines but to people. On the other hand, it is essential to pay attention to the technical details as well as the most sophisticated quality standards of each industry.
Can you feel safe if a mega project in some city is left in incompetent hands? Will people have the guarantee of quality and solidity of this project over the years? It is in that sense that we need to have the most competent and analytical project managers available.
According to the Project Management Institute, “Project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities to meet project requirements” (PMI, 2024). In other words, it is about the use of management techniques and tools in order to carry out projects that will provide benefits to individuals and society.
When Engineering joins forces with Project Management
If we properly understood what was stated above, it will make sense that engineering is closely linked to project management. See the case of civil engineers who need project management tools to guarantee the effective and efficient execution of their work in construction, infrastructure and development of public systems. These technical skills allow them to control, plan and coordinate the resources involved in each project, including materials, budgets, personnel and delivery times.
Given this reality, it is increasingly common that after their technical training, engineers go to business schools to advance further and meet the expectations of the labour market. Loay Abu Dalal is a civil engineer who made the decision to pursue an MBA in Project Management at European International University, Paris.
Since he finished High School, Loay Abu Dalal has had a passion for project management, which led him to study civil engineering at one of Jordan’s top universities. Following graduation from Jordan University of Science and Technology, he moved to Dubai driven by his vision of the field’s potential there.
Over the years, he gained extensive experience in prominent Dubai-based companies, successfully delivering numerous significant projects. He also co-founded a leading company in this sector in Dubai. Currently serving as a Projects Director, his ambition extends beyond professional development.
“Studying with the EIU has left me speechless. I never thought it would be so rewarding and possible to obtain an MBA with my busy work and life schedule. I have been able to graduate in Dubai while maintaining constant learning that will surely help me achieve awesome goals”

The popularity of the MBA in Project Management at EIU-Paris
Loay Abu Dalal chose EIU-Paris to study project management, combining work and study to fulfill his unwavering passion and dreams. A large number of people are extremely worried about returning to study because they think this will stop their chances for growth in the labour market. Through distance learning, EIU-Paris offers students from all over the world the opportunity to put what they learn into practice in the real world. Thus, we help leaders of all kinds in their own context.
Our students gain knowledge in areas such as project planning, execution and control, risk management techniques, project budgeting and finance, and project management tools.
Cases like that of Loay Abu Dalal are not isolated. We are always receiving applications from engineers in executive positions or aspiring business leaders who want to increase their knowledge and potential in a sector that only continues to grow. Our MBA in Project Management generates a profound impact by having world-class professors, academic rigor and flexibility in distance studies.
“Studying remotely presents its challenges, but the support of the EIU-Paris helped me give the best of myself as a civil engineer undertaking the MBA in Project Management.”
Loay Abu Dalal
Dr J Anand of EIU-Paris who met Loay Aby Dalal in the recent convocation ceremony at Atlantis Dubai said; “Just a few minutes of interaction with him gave me a glimpse of a mind with extraordinary brilliance. Loay possesses an intellectual curiosity that is both rare and inspiring. I have no doubt that they will make significant contributions to their field”.
