Aims
This module provides learners with an understanding of the principles and application of project management in civil engineering. To enable the student to develop the academic and digital literacy skills necessary to perform effectively in a Higher Education context. Understanding of their professional subject area, and their skills in team work in a collaborative environment using industry standard collaborative CAD and design and modelling tools. To develop students understanding of Risk Management, Health and Safety and sustainability.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Practice project management and understand the relationship between project managers and clients in complex civil engineering projects according to the RIBA plan of work
2.
Produce a site layout plan and prepare Health & Safety, sustainability and environmental documentation for a medium-sized construction project
3.
Make use of computer simulation within the context of civil engineering, and demonstrate an understanding of the limitations of the simulation
4.
Apply BIM and UNSDGs to design, demonstrating professional and ethical conduct
5.
Work professionally in a team environment and communicate effectively and professionally through written documentation and oral presentation
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
Project management: definition, historical developments, RIBA Plan of work, advantages and disadvantages in practice, review of current literature, research information. Role of project manager: development of project plan, management of project, e.g. project stakeholders, project team, project risk, project schedule, project budget, any issues and conflicts that may arise. Higher quality, e.g. improving standards, achieving quality in building, getting it right first time, best practice.
Contractual relationships: coordination and control, project management, responsibilities, e.g. duties, authority, accountability, fees. Client objectives: on time, within budget, high performance, quality outcome
Clients: government, private and commercial.
Design in a collaborative context incorporating biodiversity and nature-based solutions for zero carbon world. Use of BIM. Theory and practice of group working. Health & Safety method statements. Risk assessment and risk management. Sustainability and Environmental impact assessment, Material selection and GBCSL ratings. Construction programme planning. Academic Literacy, report writing, research skills, referencing, critical thinking. Presentation skills
