About This Course
Introduction to Construction Management begins by providing students with an overview of the industry itself: the type and size of projects, where the industry has come from, and where it appears to be heading. It discusses the roles and responsibilities of the individuals involved in the projects, from both a participant perspective as well as in the context of an industry-related company.
The course defines the project and construction sequence, building systems, and materials, and examines project scheduling and delivery methods. Additionally, construction documents, including drawings and specifications, are introduced. Students taking this course conduct research into construction materials, sustainability, and topics of their own personal interest.
