dc.description.abstractComputer Application to Engineering Project Management aims at using computers to effectively carry out the project management objectives of planning, directing and controlling project from its inception to its completion within a given time and cost frame. This study applied computer methods using the Microsoft Project Version 3 as the project management software for the project planning of the Sokoto Health Services Rehabilitation Project. The study aimed at comparing the computer method with the manual method with a view to determining the most efficient and cost effective method of Project Management. - The result of the study indicated that the computer method gave a better control of the project execution process and produced an over 40% savings on resource cost when compared to the manual method. The computer method was found to generate better graphics and therefore better communication medium. It was also more responsive to detection of variation in plans and predicting performance of different possible scenarios. The computer method was able to generate cost associated with each task and total cost associated with the use of each resource element. The Gantt and PERT Charts generated by the computer systems automatically indicated the critical paths within the project. ven_US
