This course is designed to develop career enhancing professional skills through
introduction to the lifecycle of Technical Project Management. The course will incorporate the five process groups and ten knowledge areas of the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK). Specific areas of focus will be Project Integration, Planning, Scheduling, Quality, Risk, and Stakeholder Management. The essential role of project leadership will be emphasized
An introduction to construction project scheduling covering concepts of project selection and scheduling, utilizing the estimate to predict the schedule, scheduling subcontracting, cost controls, project documentation, construction bonds, insurance, payments and the elements of close out.
CONE 415 - PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND ENGINEERING ADMINISTRATION
Project planning, cost controls, and construction related financial documents including: schedule of values, labor and operations cost reports, income statements, balance sheets and construction budgets; emphasis on the development of techniques required to ethically and effectively monitor the financial aspects of a construction project and manage engineering projects
“Vector solutions of problems in statics; principles of statics, resultants, reactions, and equilibrium forces. In addition, the brief study on mechanics of materials including stress and strain relationships and various types of loading of structural members.” (The Citadel 2019)
Quantification and pricing of direct field costs and general condition costs from construction documents; the preparation of complete lump sum bid package ready for project execution; utilization of entire set of required contract documents.
Laboratory applications involving design, preparation, curing and testing of asphalt and Portland Cement Concrete. Includes testing for component properties, component selection and grading, material handling, mix design, blending, applicable standards and specifications, construction practices, quality control, specimen testing and safety. Emphasis is placed on professional laboratory report preparation.
CONE 350 - Commercial Construction and Engineering Equipment
Prepare students to enter the commercial construction sector through consideration of design, bidding/estimating, value engineering, contracts/negotiation, subcontractor relations, cost controls, management during construction, close out, post-construction requirements and the engineering equipment used during horizontal and vertical construction.
Systems approach to determining required quantities of construction materials; quantification of various types of foundation systems, structural systems and building envelope systems using excerpts of contract documents from a variety of different building projects
Identify, explain and apply quality management techniques for construction engineering services, construction projects, and related deliverables through use of continuous improvement procedures, analytical tools and techniques focusing on resource allocation, workforce requirements, performance schedule, quality control, and total quality systems. Best practice principles in labor relations and management will be reviewed and evaluated including labor relations law, construction contracts, incentives and penalties, construction agreements and partnerships, collective bargaining, and unionized/non-unionized construction workforce considerations.
“Co-requisites: MATH 131 and PHYS 221/271. Required of all Civil, Environmental and Mechanical Engineering sophomores. Scalar and vector solutions of problems in statics; resultants, reactions, and equilibrium of forces; analysis of simple trusses; friction; centroids and centers of gravity; and moments of inertia.” (The Citadel 2018)
