Sažetak
Students usually describe the work process at the university as chaotic. There are many courses with different topics and many students with interests known or unknown to their peers and professors. All-nighters are still more than an exception, and often such practices continue even after graduation during work in the office. In the architectural profession, time planning stands out as one of the project planning components that significantly impact the project's (financial) outcome. The 5th-year Project Management (PM) course discussed in this article intends to acquaint students with PM processes (scope, schedule/time, cost, quality, resources, communication, and risks) through the application and development of awareness of their impact on scheduling and time management. By applying the PM process, the students initiate, plan, execute, control, supervise, close their work in the final semester of studies, and submit a seminar paper as a self-assessment of the execution. With thorough planning and execution of the plan, it is possible to improve efficiency and speed up the decision-making process without affecting quality. Decision-making is a disadvantage during students' work due to the lack of experience, resulting in uncertainty and indecisiveness that consume time. The introduction of PM courses in the earlier years of study and the application of the PM process can positively affect the quality of studies, student satisfaction, and the adoption of productive habits as a positive contribution to the progress and improvement of students' efficiency in later work.
