Course detail
Project Management of Building Constructions II
FAST-CV09Acad. year: 2014/2015
In the subject students will deepen and diversify their knowledge from the subject Project Management I. Attention is focused on construction projects from the aspect of buildings contractors. Part of the education is construction and technological preparation dealing with construction process and methods of construction. In detail it is solved the flow method and associated balancing and linking of particular flows. Part of the education it is a proposal and realization of construction site. With the building realization it is connected project controlling, assurance of quality, safety and health protection, protection of environment. Students work with the software Contec.

Learning outcomes of the course unit
Obtained knowledge is the precondition for certification of students to a project manager in the Czech Republic according to the principles International Project Management Association (IPMA) level D "Certified Project Management Associete".
Prerequisites
Co-requisites
To obtain a comprehensive view on business processes, the ability to analyse the factual processes and information flows, which are under way within the organization.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
PowerPoint presentation is prepared at every lecture by lecturer. Basic depiction ideas are developed further orally. Discussed theory is by options completed by brief examples, diagrams, pictures or graphs. Partial block of teaching is at the end of a brief summary and control questions verify its understanding. At the end of the lecture, students are invited to discuss.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Credit is given after completion of all obligations, i.e. attendance, submission of partial assignments and successfully passed credit written work.
The exam consists of written and oral part. Attendance at the test is conditioned by awarded credit. The written test consists of five questions. After a positive evaluation follow an oral examination with the debate over the three issues, which are selected from previously known list.
