12. CE 599 – Control of a Construction Project • This course investigates the principles and practices for the control of budget and schedule for construction projects. Topics include: estimating construction costs and developing a project budget, planning construction operations and developing a project schedule, documenting and reporting of project progress and spending, and the management of change of contract amount, contract time, and contract scope of work.

13. Project Controls Term Project An Equal Opportunity University

15. CE 699 – System Dynamics • Course focuses on strategic construction and engineering management and simulation modeling. Simulation of realistic engineering management challenges will be used to explore the causes of common problems such as inadequate resources and delays in satisfying customers.
