This course is designed to prepare students to handle the practical and managerial
tasks the engineer is exposed to in the real life. It covers the main concepts in the
fields of planning, scheduling, organizing and controlling safety and quality control.
This course covers a construction project schedule as a network of activities. An
understanding of the logic diagram; network analysis through forward pass,
backward pass, critical path and float; and updating, evaluation and use of schedule
in cost crashing and resource leveling are exp
