CON 4901 - Construction Management Capstone I2 lecture hours 4 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
This course is the first of a two-course Construction Management capstone project experience. Students form multidisciplinary teams and produce programs and designs that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare. Students consider global, cultural, social/societal, environmental and economic factors in their projects. The team members work together to provide leadership within a collaborative and inclusive environment where they establish goals, plan tasks, and meet deadlines, and analyze risk and uncertainty.
This course focuses on preliminary design and construction tasks and objectives. The students develop a program related to the client’s building and construction goals and requirements. Students must effectively communicate their construction intentions to stakeholders throughout the quarter and during the culminating construction presentations at the end of the semester. The work will be continued in the subsequent Capstone II course.
The CAECM Capstone Handbook applies to this course, and the handbook provides full details for the student’s entry to and satisfactory completion of the course.
This course meets the following Raider Core CLO requirement: Integrate Learning. (prereq: CON 3001 , CON 3021 , CON 3061 , senior standing, cumulative and major GPA greater than or equal to 2.00, or department chair consent) (quarter system prereq: CM 3210, CM 3250, CM 4311) (coreq: CON 3011 )
