Catalog Description:

Construction scheduling methods are explored.  Bar charts, S-Curves, Logical sequencing, and network diagrams are presented.  CPM is explored through the consideration of planning for construction, developing timing estimates, early and late starts, and "float".  The use of the schedule to monitor and control the project progress and costs is discussed.

Prerequisites/Corequisites:
Course Completion of CONS 70A ( or CONS 70) and Course Completion of APTECH 90A ( or CET 90A)

Methods of Evaluation/Basis of Grade.

Writing: Assessment tools that demonstrate writing skill and/or require students to select, organize and explain ideas in writing.		Writing 0 - 0%
None
This is a degree applicable course but assessment tools based on writing are not included because problem solving assessments and skill demonstrations are more appropriate for this course.
Problem solving: Assessment tools, other than exams, that demonstrate competence in computational or non-computational problem solving skills.		Problem Solving 20 - 30%
Homework problems, Quizzes, Exams
Skill Demonstrations: All skill-based and physical demonstrations used for assessment purposes including skill performance exams.		Skill Demonstrations 30 - 50%
Class performances, PROJECT BASED WORK
Exams: All forms of formal testing, other than skill performance exams.		Exams 10 - 30%
Multiple choice, True/false, Matching items, Completion
Other: Includes any assessment tools that do not logically fit into the above categories.		Other Category 5 - 10%
