Overview of the course(first lecture)
This course has been planned as a compulsory course for undergraduates. It starts with the introduction of the special nature of civil engineering project. The course revolves around the various activities encountered during the life cycle of a civil engineering project. It introduces the basic learning requirements for the civil engineer project manager and makes the appreciation for the qualitative nature of the construction project management. The philosophy of the course is more on system approach contrary to majority of mechanics based subject. Also, need for construction industry has been emphasized. The cause has been divided into the following modules-
a. General overview of civil engineering projects
b. Procurement and contract management
c. Estimation and rate analysis
d. Project planning and its implementation
e. Construction Technology
f. Use of IT in construction.
Most of the topics are introductory in nature. The more elaborate and detailed study is carried out at
master's level or in elective course.
By going through this course, a student will be able to understand -
- What
does a Civil Engineer do?
- What
are the nature of job for the construction engineers?
- If
a person wants to develop his career in the construction industry, what
are the various
subjects a student is required to learn?
- Various civil engineering projects
- Life cycle of a civil engineering project
- Learning requirement for construction engineers
- Contract management
- Project planning
- Importance of estimation and rate analysis
- Various construction techniques required
Basic
concepts of information technology and its use in the construction
