This course focuses on the implementation portion of the design process. The management of construction is covered to include scope of work, rough order-of-magnitude estimating, scheduling, planning, progress reporting, resource constraining, and quality control. The roles of the contractor, owner, and designer are explained. The culminating design experience for the three course engineering sequence is a theatre of operations design where students work in teams to layout, design, and plan the construction of a complete base camp.
