CONMGNT 3008 - Digital Design and Construction: Coordination

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2025

This course is designed to equip undergraduate students of Construction Management with the essential knowledge and skills required for effective project management in the construction industry. The course comprises four modules that systematically cover the key aspects of construction management, providing students with a comprehensive understanding of the field. i. Foundations & Operations Understanding the foundational aspects of construction management is crucial for students to initiate and manage projects effectively. This includes gaining insights into site preparation, regulatory requirements, equipment management, and risk mitigation, which collectively provide students with the essential knowledge needed to navigate the initial phases of a construction project. This module aims to provide students with the fundamental knowledge required for ensuring smooth execution and minimising risks during the initial phases of construction projects. ii. Infrastructure & Logistics Efficient logistical management is vital for the timely and cost-effective completion of construction projects. Topics such as site accommodation, material management, project scheduling, and workforce planning will be explored and discussed in this module aiming to equip students with the knowledge necessary to optimise resources, streamline operations, and meet project deadlines. iii. Team Dynamics & Communication Construction projects rely heavily on collaboration and effective communication among diverse teams. Understanding workforce dynamics, engagement strategies, and communication techniques specific to the construction industry enables students to foster productive teamwork, resolve conflicts, and maintain effective communication channels. By mastering these skills, students can enhance team cohesion, productivity, and overall project outcomes. It is also noteworthy to highlight that this course will computer tools, helping students to leverage new technologies for effective management of construction activities in practice.

The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
Assessment must maintain academic standards.

Assessment Detail

This course introduces four key assessment components to evaluate students’ understanding of the course materials. These assessments are outlined below:

Quiz 1: This will be an online quiz, accounting for 20% of the overall course grade. It aims to assess students' understanding of materials teaching ‘Foundations & Operations’ in the construction industry.

Quiz 2: This will be an online quiz, accounting for 20% of the overall course grade. It aims to assess students' understanding of materials teaching ‘Infrastructure & Logistics’ in the construction industry.

Quiz 3: This will be an online quiz, accounting for 20% of the overall course grade. It aims to assess students' understanding of materials teaching ‘Team Dynamics & Communication’ in the construction industry.

Microsoft Project assignment: In this assignment, students will use Microsoft Project software to manage a hypothetical construction project, focusing on budgeting, scheduling, resource allocation, and project evaluation. They will produce a comprehensive project plan and a final report summarising key activities and outcomes.

Navisworks assignment: Students will use Navisworks to manage a hypothetical construction project, focusing on clash detection, construction simulation, and comprehensive model review. They will produce a detailed project report and a video presentation summarizing key activities and outcomes.

Student Feedback

The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
