ENGR 616

This course examines advanced data analysis methods and practices used in project management as it relates to civil and environmental engineering. The study of project management spans all phases of the project life cycle including, but not limited to, preliminary feasibility analysis, concept development, and project commissioning. Students explore key issues in project management, as well as major aspects of data analysis and modelling such as data modelling, data mining in engineering research, artificial neural networks in engineering, an introduction to simulation modelling, Monte Carlo simulation, classification clustering, Bayesian analysis, and an introduction to granular computing as they relate to project management.
