Abstract:

Construction Management is a special course offered to students whose major is Civil Engineering. It is offered to let students know drivers for efficiency, sustainability, corporate social responsibility and building information management. In order to keep up with construction management nowadays, it is necessary to develop this course to make it up-to-date. This paper first analyzes the basic conditions of this course. Then it proposes a developing plan for the course in the following aspects, adjustment of the course, reorganization of the textbook, teaching method, teaching mode, test database and exercise database and ways to increase teaching quality of this course. Some parts of the course will be constructed for bilingual teaching, to enhance the competitiveness of undergraduates in using English.
