Course Objectives
In the framework of this course; the theoretical background of the Critical Path Method (CPM) and Probabilistic Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) are given and also illustrated with computer applications. Thus, the student is furnished with the theoretical aspects as well as practical solutions of the construction planning process. With the assignment of team tasks and term projects, the ability of students to carry out teamwork is aimed to be increased as well as their awareness on cost, time and quality issues in construction works.
