Kurzbeschreibung | This course is designed to lay down the foundation of the different concepts, techniques, and tools for successful project management of construction projects. |
Lernziel | The goal is that at the end of this course students should have a good understanding of the different project management knowledge areas, the phases required for successful project management, and the role of a project manager. To demonstrate this, students will work in groups in different case studies to apply the concepts, tools and techniques presented in the class. Two 3 to 4 hours sessions towards the end of the lecture series will introduce a practical project to allow the teams to demonstrate the tools and techniques learned during the semester. The course will have a final quiz that will be graded. |

Literatur | Relevant readings will be recommended throughout the course (and made available to the students via Moodle). |
Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | The students will be randomly assigned to teams. Students will be graded as a team based on the final Project report and the in-class oral presentation of the Project Proposal as well as a final exam (50% exam and 50% project report and presentation). Homework will not be graded but your final report and presentation will consist mostly of your homework assignments consolidated and put in a report and presentation format. |
