TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe methods they have used to improve proposal resumes and conclude that following the suggestions outlined will help one prepare graphic or written resumes that are more effective at helping to obtain jobs for one's firm simply because they are more interesting to look at and easier to read than the standard model.
Abstract: To win government contracts, proposals must fully describe project team members' directly related experience, while highlighting their most important qualifications. Resumes are generally used for this purpose, but most resumes are boring. The authors describe methods they have used to improve proposal resumes. It is concluded that following the suggestions outlined will help one prepare graphic or written resumes that are more effective at helping to obtain jobs for one's firm simply because they are more interesting to look at and easier to read than the standard model. >

TL;DR: Experiences gained in the development of the AEP (American Electric Power) control center project are described in this article, where some basic design features and procedures used are discussed, and the online performance of the system is commented on.
Abstract: Experiences gained in the development of the AEP (American Electric Power) control center project are described. This was a long and complex project in which deviations from original plans frequently occurred and which therefore required the ability to find solutions to keep the project on schedule. Some of the basic design features and procedures used are discussed, and the online performance of the system is commented on. >

TL;DR: It can be known that the research result would be a confirmatory evidence for project managers to forecast project morbidity, making project plan and optimizing project resources, as well as controlling whole project in macro-angle.
Abstract: In order to open out the distribution rule of morbidity phenomena in engineering project, 571 project managers in 33 construction companies have been investigated and visited for obtaining a large amount of information of morbidity phenomena. According to the information, all kinds of morbidity phenomena and their frequencies are summed up, their primary and secondary relationships and distribution rules in every stage are described by means of statistics; and then, their characteristics together with investigation results are explained. Third, morbidity phenomena's total distribution in engineering project and its mathematic characteristic are analyzed according to sub-sample capacitances of all morbidity phenomena in four stages. It can be known that the research result would be a confirmatory evidence for project managers to forecast project morbidity, making project plan and optimizing project resources, as well as controlling whole project in macro-angle.

TL;DR: An update is given on experiences with the use of project scheduling software in a sequence of design classes and new steps taken to improve the student acceptance of the software are described.
Abstract: An update is given on experiences with the use of project scheduling software in a sequence of design classes. In addition to reviewing a previous approach (T.W. Schultz, 1994), it describes new steps taken to improve the student acceptance of the software. The initial learning process has been eased by "Cue Cards" included in the new version of PROJECT. Student acceptance has improved remarkably. The PERT chart has become unnecessary since task dependencies can now be shown directly on the Gantt chart. Homework to teach the concepts of tasks, dependencies, and scheduling now precedes the introduction of the software. This develops a clearer idea of task and scheduling concepts so the software becomes a simple tool rather than an inflexible master. Requiring weekly tracking Gantt charts increases the students' perception of the software's value. The paper concludes with fresh student comments and plans for future changes and improvements.
