This module will discuss the various methods of construction to include but not limited to: Modular, Partitions, Pods, Headwalls, Pre-cast systems, etc. We will first discuss how pre-fabrication relates to facilities during their initial construction and buildouts as well as the types of work that are suited for prefabrication. We further demonstrate the use of prefabrication in areas of heavy civil construction as it might relate to infrastructure such as bridges & culverts.

Module will introduce students to the Building Commissioning process and all relevant codes, standards, guidelines, and processes.  Module should expand on the different types of commissioning (new building, re-commissioning, and retro-commissioning), along with the various NAVFAC systems which require are required to be commissioned.  Lesson should incorporate case studies which demonstrate the integration of the commissioning process into the design and construction process.

This module is designed to equip students with the ability to effectively solve problems via various methodologies such as but not limited to:  Root Cause Analysis, OODA/PDCA Approach, Toyota A3 Approach, and Process mapping

Module will discuss how project managers can use an array of Visual management applications/techniques such as Key Performance Indicators, Big Room Concepts, Process or Results Metrics, and Dashboards to effectively convey large amounts of information to various stakeholders and facilitate self-management of the workforce.

Module will provide students an overview of Building Information Modeling (BIM) along with the various BIM standards, authoring tools, and analysis tools. Students should familiarize themselves with the various techniques to gather relevant data and how to utilize that data to coordinate and manage the design and construction of facilities via real time rendering, virtual reality, and augmented reality.  Finally, this module should discuss document management process via hyperlinking and cloud hosting during both the design and construction process.

Module will introduce students to various construction technologies being utilized by industry to enhance the Project Managers ability to successfully manage all aspects of the project.  Technologies to discuss should include but not be limited to:  Bluebeam Revu, Digital platforms for Last Planner implementation, Total station, Drones, and 3D Printing/Additive manufacturing, and eCMS.
