Course summary: Thecourse focuses on illustrating construction engineering as a source of creating value through managing knowledge throughout project life cycle. The course starts by illustrating the role of construction engineers in creating value in field operations. The first module focuses on managing heavy construction equipment. This includes: estimating and enhancing its productivity, assessing its costs and using simulation to optimize its management. The second module covers the role of value engineering in enhancing project designs and achieving customer goals. The third module covers construction project management, including resource management, planning and scheduling linear construction project using the line of balance scheduling technique, and finally financial management and bidding practices. The course also introduce students to building information modelling (BIM) through training on a 5D software. It is important to note that these topics are subjective. Consequently, many of the questions in the assignments, quiz, and exams will be conceptual and require outofthebox thinking. The course exposes students to actual field practices through two required sites visits, a class project, and presentations by industry representatives. The course also introduces students to latest research trends in construction. Finally, the course includes an optional project for students to investigate/develop a business model of a future business of their own. Creating Value through Knowledge Harnessing & Implementation
