You should discuss this with your civil engineering academic advisor. The Management Program CE 535. As an interactive case study of the project development process, student groups design a facility and prepare a construction plan, including cost and schedule, to build the project. The students present their design-build proposal to participating industrial clients. Emphasis is on developing skills to generate, evaluate and select design alternatives that satisfy the needs of the owner and the constraints imposed by codes and regulation as well as by the availability of construction resources.
Emphasis is also in developing team-building skills and efficient communication.
Computer-based methods for design, construction cost estimating and scheduling, and personal communications are extensively used. The interactive case study is specifically chosen to balance the content between design, construction engineering, and management. Students taking this course are expected to have a background in at least two of these disciplines. This course develops an understanding of the integration process of technical, human, capital, social, and institutional aspects that drive the life cycle of a construction project. The study of failures provides an excellent vehicle to find ways for the improvement of planning, design and construction of facilities.
