Project management skills are essential for effective planning, coordination, and control of a project from its initiation to successful completion. Knowledge of various project management techniques is crucial to ensure that construction projects are completed within the stipulated time and budget, which remains one of the biggest challenges in the construction industry. To address this challenge, the project management team must efficiently manage human, material, and financial resources while achieving the predetermined scope, cost, time, and quality objectives. This course is designed to equip students with the ability to plan, organize, and control construction activities using appropriate management techniques and software tools. Upon completion of the course, students will be capable of executing projects within the allocated budget, specified time frame, and desired quality standards. Therefore, this course is highly important for diploma holders in civil engineering, as they are often required to independently manage construction projects. | ## Course Outcome: After Completion of the Course, Student will able to: | No | Course Outcomes | RBT Level | |------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------| | 01 | Describe construction management functions, various organization structures and duties of various construction team. | R, U, A | | 02 | Explain contract and tendering process. | R, U, A | | 03 | Develop the CPM and PERT network of various construction activities. | R, U, A | | 04 | Show leadership skills required to manage various construction resources and achieve targets. | R, U, A | | 05 | Use management information system | R, U, A | | 06 | Show professional ethics and concern for safety during various construction works. | R, U, A | ## GUJARAT TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY ## Program Name: Diploma Engineering Level: Diploma Branch: Civil Engineering Subject Code: DI05006031 Subject Name: Construction Project Management ## Teaching and Examination Scheme: | Teaching Scheme (in Hours) | Teaching Scheme (in Hours) | Teaching Scheme (in Hours) | Total Credits L+T+ (PR/2) | Total Credits L+T+ (PR/2) | Assessment Pattern and Marks | Assessment Pattern and Marks | Assessment Pattern and Marks | Total Marks | |-------------------------------|-------------------------------|-------------------------------|------------------------------|------------------------------|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|----------------| | L | T | PR | C | Theory | Theory | Tutorial / Practical | Tutorial / Practical | | | L | T | PR | C | ESE(E) | PA (M) | PA (I) | ESE (V) | | | 3 | 0 | 2 | 4 | 70 | 30 | 20 | 30 | 150 | ## Course Content: | Unit No. | Content | No. of Hours | % of Weightage | |-------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------|-------------------| | 1 | Construction Industry & Management 1.1 Construction Project management- importance, Functions, Scope. 1.2 Organization-Types, Characteristics, Functions, principles. 1.3 Construction team-Roles, responsibilities and skills of construction team. 1.4 Stages in Construction. 1.5 Causes of Project failure. | 06 | 15% | | 2 | Tendering and Accounting 2.1.
