Diploma in Civil Engineering Semester -VI

A) Course Code : 2020674(020)
B) Course Title : Construction Management
C) Pre- requisite Course Code and Title :
D) Rationale :
A Civil Engineering Diploma pass out is supposed to know different facets of construction management.
The subject on Construction Management develops abilities related to solving day to day problems
arising during constructions maintenance work such as handling live problems in the department,
issuing of tender documents, handling of cash book, muster role, settlement of imprest account, time
scheduling with the help of CPM and PERT, understanding labour laws and successfully dealing with
labour and sub ordinate staff. In brief the subject has been introduced to develop managerial skills in
the students, so that he can successfully handle live situations at work.

E) Course Outcomes :
CO-1 Recognize of execution of Civil Engineering works by Govt. Departments.
CO-2 Describe execution of work by contract.
CO-3 Explain and interpret tender process.
CO-4 Explain construction planning and scheduling.
CO-5 (a) Explain material management methods.
(b) Recognize safety in construction and labour welfare.
