Introduction to Construction Management
Students are introduced to the fundamental principles and concepts of construction management. They learn about the role of construction managers, project stakeholders, and the overall project lifecycle.

Project Planning and Scheduling
This module covers the process of developing project plans and schedules. Students learn about project scope definition, work breakdown structures, critical path method (CPM), and scheduling software such as Primavera P6. Practical exercises involve creating and managing project schedules.

Cost Estimation and Budgeting
Students explore methods for estimating project costs and developing budgets. Topics include cost estimation techniques, budget allocation, and cost control strategies. Practical exercises involve creating cost estimates and budgets for construction projects.

Risk Management in Construction
In this section, students learn about identifying, assessing, and managing risks in construction projects. They study risk management techniques, risk mitigation strategies, and the use of risk management software. Case studies and simulations help students apply risk management principles to real-world scenarios.

Construction Technology and Innovation
Students are introduced to the latest trends and advancements in construction technology. They explore innovations such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), drones, and construction management software like Procore. Practical exercises involve using technology tools to enhance construction project efficiency and effectiveness.

Quality Management in Construction
This module covers principles and practices of quality management in construction projects. Students learn about quality assurance, quality control, and continuous improvement processes. They explore techniques for ensuring project quality and meeting quality standards.

Contract Management and Legal Aspects
Students learn about contract management principles and legal aspects relevant to construction projects. Topics include contract types, contract administration, dispute resolution, and construction law. Practical exercises involve analyzing contracts and resolving legal issues in construction projects.

Safety and Health Management
In this section, students learn about safety and health management practices in construction. They study occupational safety regulations, hazard identification, safety training, and accident prevention measures. Practical exercises involve developing safety plans and conducting risk assessments.

Environmental Sustainability in Construction
Students explore principles of environmental sustainability and their application in construction projects. They learn about green building practices, energy efficiency, waste management, and sustainable materials. Case studies highlight innovative approaches to sustainable construction.

Project Management Simulation
The course concludes with a project management simulation where students apply their knowledge and skills to manage a simulated construction project. They work in teams to plan, execute, and control project activities, facing challenges and making decisions in a realistic construction project environment.
