This course brings together all of the key principles from general business accounting, financial management, and engineering economics needed by construction managers vis-a-vis the unique characteristics of the construction industry, and addresses how these principles are specifically applied in the construction industry, and how they should interact effectively to ensure the efficient and profitable management of construction projects and companies.
The first of two course series designed specifically for construction management majors. The sequence addresses the interactions of different kinds of loads with common structural elements and design considerations for typical construction materials. This course places emphasis on the design of wood framed construction.
The second part in a two-course sequence for Construction Management majors. The course places emphasis on the design and analysis of concrete and steel frame construction.
This course is intended to provide students with a hands-on introduction to Building Information Modeling (BIM) in Construction. Emphasis will be placed on the use of BIM to support current construction activities such as design review, coordination, scheduling, logistics, estimating, and project close-out. Topics will include an introduction to 3D BIM modeling, 3D coordination and clash detection, 4D visual scheduling and logistics, 5D estimating, and BIM for Facility Management. Students will learn the fundamentals of the most widely used software applications in the construction industry: SketchUp, Revit and Navisworks.
Applies negotiation and marketing principles to the construction industry. Includes understanding the roles of market research, business development planning, negotiation and networking techniques. Students will acquire the skills and techniques to prepare a winning presentation and negotiations.
This course is intended to equip students with knowledge and skills required to successfully manage and support construction field operations. Knowledge areas include contract administration, project engineering, site superintendence, and other topics critical to field operations.
