Course Description:

'' Welcome to CM 588! Courses in construction operations are relatively rare; there are only three or four courses among the top 50 United States universities with large numbers of civil engineering and construction management graduates. Yet construction operations are essential in heavy construction.

This course focuses on the study of heavy construction operations with emphasis on productivity enhancement. An integrated approach to planning, modeling, analysis, and design of construction operations is presented, and the use of simulation models and other analytical tools are examined. The course content is broadly applicable in whichever state or country you reside.

This is a required course for the Certificate Program in Heavy Construction Project Management, and for the distance learning Master of Science in Construction Management or Master of Science in Civil and Environmental Engineering program. You will have ten weeks in which to complete all course requirements
