Course Objectives Construction project management education is a part of design studies of all disciplines. The course focuses on how designers and technical staff working on the execution period of the projects rely on each other with their knowledge of experiences on project. This course aims to introduce construction planning, scheduling, and estimating while defining the role of the architect in the construction process. It also teaches construction project management terminology and construction process communication with monitoring tools.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Will be able to organize construction activities in a network and develop introductory level schedules.
  • Will be able to analyze work packages of construction projects and estimate costs at an introductory level.
  • Will be able to approach architecture-engineering-construction industry from a holistic perspective.
  • Will be able to make introductory level management decisions regarding issues of construction law, risk,etc.
  • Will be able to prepare a cost model for a construction project.
