Students will need to submit (1) MS Project file and (2) a PPT file that includes the screenshots of the Gantt Chart, Network Diagram, Resource Sheet, and Scheduling. At the end of the PPT file, add a slide that reflects what you learned from this exercise. Make sure to address the following restrictions when completing the project.

Schedule the project from the project start date• Five engineers and 15 technicians are available for the project’s duration.• Engineers and technicians are paid $100/hour and $35/hour, respectively.• Engineers’ and Technicians’ hourly rates will be increased to $135 and $45, respectively, in two months Operations Management
MS Project Management
MICROSOFT PROJECT EXERCISE
An aerospace company has received a contract from NASA for the final
assembly of a space module for an upcoming mission. The Project Manager has
identified two types of critical resources, engineers and technicians that are
needed in the project. Following table lists the project tasks, their precedence
relationships, durations, material cost and resource requirements. The
indicated resources are needed for the duration of each task. For example 3
engineers and 7 technicians are needed during the 30 days of task time for Task
A and a half time engineer and 1 technician are needed for the 30 days of task
duration for Task C.
