CCE22200 Life Cycle Engineering and Management of Constructed Facilities The objective of this course is to introduce concepts relating to the engineering and construction of facilities throughout their life cycle. Topics that will be explored include the nature of the construction industry, construction contracts, legal and management organization of construction companies, basics of the design and construction process, as well as an introduction to the role estimating and project scheduling. Cost, time, safety and quality concepts of construction management relationships will also be discussed. 3 Learn More
CCE29198 Experiential Learning Session I The Construction Engineering and Management (CEM) curriculum-based experiential learning courses allow students to bridge the gap between classroom theory and real-world practice through intentional partnerships with industry leaders. Students are systematically and deliberately aligned with industry partners to immerse themselves in authentic, real-world scenarios within the construction engineering and management field. Student experiences will be captured in the assigned courses (listed below) to document the learning outcomes based on carefully crafted learning objectives encompassing a range of essential skills and competencies necessary for success in the industry. The courses represent experiential learning work sessions with industry partners as a full-time employee charged with responsible work activities/tasks. Our primary goal is cultivating a holistic understanding of key concepts while fostering critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and professional development. For additional information and best practices, please refer to the Experiential Learning Handbook A Guide for Students and Supervisors in Purdue’s Construction Engineering and Management Program Fifth Edition 2022. 0 Learn More
