Construction Project Management is an important subject to learn in Civil Engineering.
Significance • As construction involves various activities starting from the design and planning to project completion and quality check, there is a exorbitant need for Management of construction. • Construction Industry plays a crucial role in the economy and development of a nation.
4. Objectives To complete the project in specified time and with allocated budget. To Plan and schedule the work and distribute between various departments. Deployment of personnel in Different tasks. To achieve High quality workmanship. Creating an organisation that works as a team. Using the limited available resources and producing maximum output. Providing safe and satisfactory working conditions for all personnel and workers.
5. Functions: Planning & Scheduling Organizing Staffing Directing Controlling & Co-ordinating
6. Stages of construction Briefing Designing Tendering Construction Commissioning
7. 1) Briefing Stage • This stage consists of framework required for the construction work to take a shape from the ideology of client and feasibility of Project which involves architects, engineers and project manager.

Construction Management full lecture note-By Melese Mengistu.pdfMeleseMengistu
A project is defined, whether it is in construction or not, by the
following characteristics:
A defined goal or objective, Specific tasks to be performed, A
defined beginning& end, and Resources being consumed.
Construction industry is different from other industries by its size, built
on-site, and generally unique.
Projects begin with a stated goal established by the owner and
accomplished by the project team.
What is construction management & its Benefits?maria_singh
Construction Management is one of the basic things that is required to manage all the construction project from beginning till end. Check out some top benefits of construction management.
Construction equipment is one of the biggest investments carried by construction industry. Knowledge about owning cost and operating cost is must before construction plant & equipment mobilization. Also, monitoring of actual operating and owning cost of equipment on regular basis is required. Owning cost and operating cost of equipment has significant impact on profitability of work executed.
The ownership costs of construction equipment can be categorized into 'fixed cost' and 'variable cost'.
A to Z elements for calculation of ownership costs of construction plant & equipment are:
A. Purchase price
B. Wear parts cost
C. Economic Life
D. Ownership period
E. Residual value
F. Depreciation Time
G. Annual depreciation cost
H. Interest rate
I. Interest Cost
J. Machine tax
K. Machine tax cost
L. Insurance costs
M. Storage and Protection Cost
N. Fuel cost
O. Fuel consumption per hour
P. Cost of Major Overhaul
Q. Life time of Major Overhaul
R. Planned maintenance cost
S. Life time of planned maintenance
T. Cost of Wear Parts
U. Life time of Wear Parts
V. Lubricants
W. Lubricant Interval
X. Lubricant Cost
Y. Operator Cost
Z. Operating Hours
The Construction Mechanizer blog is created to provide valuable information resource for construction professionals, employee and student engaged in construction industry.
This blog will be worked as tool for successful mechanization and automation for cope up with the challenges raised by construction industry.
The economic management of plant and equipment is possible by co-coordinated effort of knowledge of resource mobilization & finance management, asset management, project management, safety management and all these function is executed or managed by employee, therefore employee core skill and employee engagement is must for successful result.

AI and Machine Learning Demystified by Carol Smith at Midwest UX 2017Carol Smith
What is machine learning? Is UX relevant in the age of artificial intelligence (AI)? How can I take advantage of cognitive computing? Get answers to these questions and learn about the implications for your work in this session. Carol will help you understand at a basic level how these systems are built and what is required to get insights from them. Carol will present examples of how machine learning is already being used and explore the ethical challenges inherent in creating AI. You will walk away with an awareness of the weaknesses of AI and the knowledge of how these systems work.
Whether it's for your company or your own professional development (or ideally both), everyone should have a technology roadmap. Unfortunately there is no easy path to pre-made wisdom here, but this talk opines on some ideas and approaches to help formulate a roadmap that is relevant, pragmatic and importantly, able to be communicated to others.
Presented at Mastering SAP Technologies 2016
In 2012, Lehigh University launched a new master’s degree in technical entrepreneurship. The cross disciplinary approach opened the door to graduate school education in technical entrepreneurship for students from all academic backgrounds, creating a melting pot of experience, skills and aspirations in the classroom. This one-year, 30-credit professional master’s program (M.Eng.) in technical entrepreneurship helps student entrepreneurs create, refine, and commercialize intellectual property through the licensing or launching of a new business. Students in the program learn by experiencing the idea-to-venture process in an educational environment that’s hard-wired to support the development of novel, innovative, and commercially-viable technologies. Attendees will hear about the types of students from the first cohort, the perspective of the faculty members responsible for developing and implementing the curriculum, and lessons learned.

4. Entrepreneur
A person who organizes and manages any enterprise, especially a business, usually with considerable
initiative and risk.
Entrepreneur + Capital = Products + Customers = Business.
What is Civil Engineering?
Civil engineering is arguably the oldest engineering discipline. It deals with the built environment and can be
dated to the first time someone placed a roof over his or her head or laid a tree trunk across a river to make it
easier to get across
Civil engineering is an exciting profession because at the end of the day you can see the results of your work,
whether this is a completed bridge, a high-rise building, a subway station, or a hydroelectric dam.
