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”
