1. RATIONALE:

The construction project has numerous necessities that include a thorough understanding of the
design/planning and the entire construction process, as well as modern business
managementtools/methods.Projectmanagementskillsareimportantforoverallplanning,coordination,andc
ontrolofaproject from commencement to accomplishment of the project efficiently and effectively. The
awareness ofvariousprojectmanagementtechniquesisveryessentialtoensurethatconstructionprojectsare
completed within time and budget which is a biggest challenge. To overcome this challenge, project

so that students are able to acquire following competencies.
• This course provides an understanding of construction management, including
contracts, subcontracting, tendering and scheduling, cost control, claims, safety and
quality and project closeout.
• Manage various resources and activities, effectively and efficiently using appropriate
techniques and software to complete the construction project within stipulated time
and allocated budget according to desired quality.

3. COURSE OUTCOMES (COs)

10. SUGGESTED LIST OFEXERCISES/PRACTICAL

Other than the classroom and laboratory learning, following are the suggested student-related co-
curricular activities which can be undertaken to accelerate the attainment of the various outcomes
in this course: Students should conduct following activities in group and prepare reports of about
5 pages for each activity, also collect/record physical evidences for their (student’s) portfolio which
will be useful for their placement interviews:

a) Give seminar on relevant topic.

b) Undertake micro-projects.
c) Collect organizational set up of various departments.
d) Collect and interpret the bar charts or networks from construction sites.
e) Solve the numerical on bar chart, CPM, PERT and cost optimization.
f) Collect and interpret various store forms from PWD, WRD and MIP.
g) Download the labour laws documents from internet and write a brief summary on it.
h) Compile various safety slogans displayed at various sites with sources and write a brief summary
on it.

11. SUGGESTED SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES (if any)

These are sample strategies, which the teacher can use to accelerate the attainment of the various
outcomes in this course:
a) Massive open online courses (MOOCs) may be used to teach various topics/sub topics.
b) Guide student(s) in undertaking micro-projects.

GTU/NITTTR/Bhopal/14-15 Gujarat State 32

 Construction Project Management Course code: 4******

c) ‘L’ in section No. 4means different types of teaching methods that are to be employed by
teachers to develop the outcomes.
d) About 20% of the topics/sub-topics which are relatively simpler or descriptive in nature is to be
given to the students for self-learning, but to be assessedusing different assessment methods.
e) With respect to section No.11, teachers need to ensure to create opportunities and provisions
for co-curricular activities.
f) Guide students on how to address issues on environ and sustainability.

12. SUGGESTED MICRO-PROJECTS

Only one micro-project is planned to be undertaken by a student that needs to be assigned to him/her
in the beginning of the semester. In the first four semesters, the micro-project is groupbased. However,
in the fifth and sixth semesters, it should be preferably be individually undertaken to build up the skill
and confidence in every student to become problem solver so that s/he contributes to the projects of
the industry. In special situations where groups have to be formed for microprojects, the number of
students in the group should not exceed three.
The micro-project could be industry application based, internet-based, workshop-based,
laboratory-based or field-based. Each micro-project should encompass two or more COs which are in
fact, an integration of PrOs, UOs and ADOs. Each student will have to maintain dated work diary
consisting of individual contribution in the project work and give a seminar presentation of it before
submission. The total duration of the micro-project should not be less than 16 (sixteen) student
engagement hours during the course. The student ought to submit micro-project by the end of the
semester to develop the industry orientedCOs.
A suggestive list of micro-projects is given here. This has to match the competency and the COs. Similar
micro-projects could be added by the concerned course teacher:
a) Use any software of Construction Management to prepare the scheduling of a project.
b) Use any software of Construction Management to determine the critical path for the given
construction project.
c) Interpret the network figures used in given civil engineering projects.
d) Prepare a report on different forms of inventory storage along with your interpretation.
e) Collect the information about latest safety measures adopted at construction project.
f) Compare various construction management software.
g) Use relevant software to collect information about modern techniques of material management like
JIT/SAP/ERP.
h) Prepare a report on “Site planning and mobilization” for a given site.
i) Study of BOT Road Project.
j)Study of standard Bidding process in State Government.
k)Study of procurement policies and procedures for a given construction company.
k) Collect the information about labour management practices in construction industry.
l) prepare a report on owing and operating cost of the given construction equipments.
