This course examines different types of schedules used in the construction process including bar charts, Critical Path Method (CPM), and Project Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT). Develops an understanding of the forward and backward passes for both the activity-on-arrow (AOA) and activity-on-node (AON) analyses. Analysis of cost and resource loaded schedules. Explains linear and repetitive schedules. Introduces advantages/disadvantages of delay analysis techniques. Industry scheduling software is introduced.

This course provides an opportunity for students to demonstrate their capabilities developed through their course of study to design, develop and/or evaluate a Smart Cities, Transportation, and Construction Management related project culminating in a written report or manuscript and presentation.

This course covers planning, organization, scheduling, and control of construction projects. The components of construction project planning are examined. Students are exposed to and gain practice in using the Critical Path Method (CPM) in scheduling, Monte Carlo risk analysis and monitoring the progress of construction projects. Cost control and resource allocation/resource management are explored.
