This course offers a course titled "Construction Project Management" as part of engineering management. It is well-known that executing construction projects requires a significant amount of time and high costs, and any mistake in the project can be catastrophic. Therefore, construction project management is essential. Construction work is highly susceptible to unpredictable factors, which can lead to increased project duration and costs without warning. For this reason, strict supervision during the construction phase, relying on construction project management, is crucial to completing the project within the appropriate time and budget, as well as achieving the required quality. Additionally, construction project management focuses on guiding workers and employees to achieve high productivity and maximize profits. Furthermore, engineering management, particularly in the context of construction project management, plays a vital role in the success of complex construction projects, requiring innovation, leadership, precision in work, and the ability to find alternatives in the field.
Course Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
Who Should Attend?
Construction and Architecture Engineers who wish to pursue their studies in Engineering Management.
Engineering project managers and their deputies.
Those wishing to develop their capabilities in this field.
Knowledge and Benefits:
After completing the program, participants will be able to master the following:
How to conduct engineering planning for construction projects, follow-up implementation and general supervision of the engineering project as a whole.
