Seminar on Construction & Maintenance based on Ubiquitous Technology
-Understanding ubiquitous technologies in the construction industry and those that can be used in the future for efficient site management and operation for u-City. This course focuses on learning how various technologies can be applied to construction activities to improve productivity and quality.
Project Management for u-City Construction and Development
-This course covers management issues for u-City construction and development. There are three main objectives of this course.
1.To understand fundamental knowledge about project management issues for u-City construction and development
2.To study scheduling, risk management, decision making, cost management for u-City construction
3.To study business administration, financing, feasibility analysis and planning
4 .To understand laws and regulation for u-City
Advanced Construction Methods and Automation for Tall Buildings
-The objective of this course is to learn how automation technology can be applied to construction activities to improve productivity and quality and to learn advanced construction methods which were using in construction sites. The students learn how to identify advanced construction method and automation opportunities and how to evaluate the potential of existing prototype and systems.
Advanced Construction
-This course provides opportunities for an in-depth study of the state-of-the-art construction management technologies and techniques. Topics may vary.
Risk Management
-This course presents fundamentals of methodical decisions and risk analysis in the perspective of project planning, engineering, construction, and operations. Accordingly, the importance of the course is on an analysis methodology. The rational risk management topics of contingency management, contracts, insurance, and sureties will also be addressed in this class.
Building Construction Methods and Materials (Undergrad)
-This course introduces basic construction methods, their processes, and utilization of various materials in construction by various work sections. Also this course helps students improve the applicability of relevant knowledge in practice through construction site visits and investigations. This course covers works on finishes, rough interior, and prefabricated construction.
Cost Estimation for Building COnstruction (Undergrad)
-Construction cost estimation is very essential to budgeting and cost control through the overall construction process. In this course, principles of cost estimation for building construction projects will be covered followed by cost estimation practice based on the construction drawings.
Architectural Engineering Capstone Design (Undergrad)
-In this class the students are required to select a specific topic and carry out a term project based on the knowledge obtained from the other architectural engineering classes, and on the lectures and discussion on related topics. It is recommended that the students further develop the topic into the thesis for bachelor degree.
Construction Methods and Technology (Undergrad)
-This course covers various construction technology and methods as well as planning and management methods for selection of construction methods. In particular, students can improve adaptability in practice through the knowledge on new construction technology and methods covered in this course.
