Prerequisites
Prerequisite Courses with codes
This course requires the student to know about the basic of civil engineering, materials of
construction, CV 201 & CV 305
Course Objectives
1. Students will be able to analyze the feasibility of a project and calculate interest, taxes and
capital recovery for different civil engineering projects.
2. Students will be able to perform critical sensitivity analyses which are extremely important for
decision making and for solving problems with many variables in transportation and assignment
models so that the problems are readily solvable.
3. Students will be able to know the selection of different equipments, their performances and
efficiencies in different kinds of work activities, scheduling and controlling along with resource
allocation, time cost trade off etc.
4. Students will come to know to plan different activities and events such that no task or even
takes more than its prescribed time.
5. Students will be able to know the process and purpose of planning, organization along with
leadership qualities and co-ordination of projects.
