KA43003 ADVANCED PROJECT MANAGEMENT


As technological integration and construction complexity increase, so do constructions lead times. To stay competitive
companies have sought to shorten the construction times of new infrastructure by managing construction development
efforts effectively by using different project management tools. In this course, three important aspects of construction project
management are taught:
• the theory, methods and quantitative tools used to effectively plan, organize, and control construction projects;
• efficient management methods revealed through practice and research;
• hands-on, practical project management knowledge from on-site situations and field trips.
To achieve this, we will use a basic project management framework in which the project life-cycle is broken into organizing,
planning, monitoring, controlling and learning from old and current construction projects. Within the framework, you will learn
the methodologies and tools necessary for each aspect of the process as well as the theories upon which these are built. By
the end of the term you will be able to adapt and apply the framework to effectively manage a construction project in an
Architecture/Engineering/Construction (A/E/C) organization.

KE26503 DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS


This course is one of the basic courses for an electrical and electronics engineering student. It begins with the definition and
terminology of the differential equations. Various approaches such as Direct Integration, Separable Variable, Linear
Integrat-ing Factor, Nonlinear Integrating Factor and Substitution methods are introduced to solve the linear and nonlinear
first order ordinary differential equations. The students learn about modeling the systems of differential equations using basic
knowledge of science and physics. Then with the various approaches, the students are able to formulate and solve the
engineering problems with initial value conditions. Next, homogeneous and non-homogeneous higher order ordinary
differential equations are solved using approaches such as Complementary Functions and Particular Integral, Superposition,
Reduction Order, Variation of Parameters, D-operator, Euler-Cauchy, Laplace Transform. Linear algebra which involves
matrices, vectors, determinants, eigenvalue and eigenvector is introduced for preparation of solving linear systems.
Homogenous and non-ho-mogeneous first order linear systems can be solved using Undetermined Coefficients and
Variation of Parameters approach-es. MATLAB M-file programming and SIMULINK block diagram will be studied as a tool
to demonstrate the differential equa-tions can be solved with the various approaches mentioned above.
