I'm asking because I just found out about Seavus Project Viewer, Gantter, and ProjectPlan365.

As a PE I've used MS Projects for non-complex projects <$500,000. This was a purchased program loaded on my employee PC. It was good to gather info, track, costs, tasks, time, and was relatively easy too Learn. However, our PM's used Primavera, a much more detailed program that is very expensive and requires taking classes (seminar) to learn to use effectively. I attended a three day seminar for Primvera users, but did not use it daily, therefore was NOT very good as the Projest Managers who lived and breathed this program. Project Management tracking is an important task required for large and mega projects generally done by a smal team of people who understand the thousands of tasks involved in both engineering and construction.

SGT (Join to see) - Primavera is owned by Oracle and is used almost exclusively by the engineering and construction companies. Your professor should be familiar with this very powerful software because it is so widely used the files generated are easily shared with service and client alike.
There training organizations that provide training...which is highly recommended, I.e., http://www.monks.com/training/.
However, there are many good Project Management software programs out there that maybe more suitable depending on ones need. This is especially true if the projects are small and controls are not as critical. Like all things we generally start working with the basic programs and work up to the more complex programs as we get more experience, or have a need.
It's been five years since retirement and I'm sure many improvements have been incorporated in these programs.
