CE-UY 3513 Construction Scheduling

3 Credits

Students learn to apply the Critical Path Method (CPM) to construction projects, using precedence diagram networks. The course covers sequencing, cost allocation, updating, cash flow, resource constraints and scheduling, manpower leveling and distribution, time-scale networks, lead and lag-time constraints, time-cost tradeoffs, overlap and other specific leading edge scheduling techniques. Students direct an entire project from planning through scheduling and control, both manually and through software.

Prerequisite(s): CE-UY 2504 or CE-UY 2513 or CE-UY 2523 or CE-UY 2523 or CE-UY 2533 or permission of the Construction Management Program Advisor
