The Construction Project Management Capstone course is designed to apply the practice of overall construction project management including scheduling, resource allocation, cost and techical constraints.

This course introduces students to basic principles of structural mechanics (statics and strength of materials), with special emphasis placed upon application of these principles in the design of simple beams used in commercial buildings.

In this course, students will explore an array of emerging technologies, processes, and approaches that provide a framework, present their findings in a formal setting, and model an application of the selected element to a traditional design-build approach. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to relate emerging technologies processes, and approaches to building design and construction practice.

This course is designed to develop the skills for preparation of cost estimates using materials, labor, and equipment in construction. Time and cost components are also addressed in a unit production and a project scheduling evaluation using the critical path method.

This course is designed to help students learn how to recognize, approach and defuse various confrontational situations on the construction job site and in the workplace.
