For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htmAs technological integration and construction complexity increase, so does construction 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: (1) the theory, methods and quantitative tools used to effectively plan, organize, and control construction projects; (2) efficient management methods revealed through practice and research; (3) hands-on, practical project management knowledge from on-site situations. 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.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Civil-and-Environmental-Engineering/1-040Spring-2007/CourseHome/index.htmMoavenzadeh, FredHyun Lee, SangLabi, Samuel2007-11-09T01:10:21-05:001.040ESD.018J1.401Jen-USCivil and Environmental EngineeringConstruction Engineeringcontract mechanismsresource constraintssoftware toolssystem dynamicsproject learningproject monitoring and controlproject planningfeasibility and organizationproject life cyclemanagement methodsquantitative toolsproject managementEngineering Systems DivisionMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

Topics including technology transfer, science and technology, and the innovation process are covered. Students are expected to write a 15-20 page final paper as part of the assignments for the class.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Sloan-School-of-Management/15-980JSpring-2007/CourseHome/index.htmAllen, TomXu, Heng2007-11-15T04:39:17-05:0015.980JESD.933Jen-USEngineering Systems DivisionTechnology Education/Industrial Artsinnovation processrewards systemstechnological gatekeeperscience and technologyproduct ideastechnology transferinnovative new product developmentSloan School of ManagementMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htmThis course is a detailed technical and historical exploration of the Apollo project to "fly humans to the moon and return them safely to earth" as an example of a complex engineering system. Emphasis is on how the systems worked, the technical and social processes that produced them, mission operations, and historical significance. Guest lectures are featured by MIT-affiliated engineers who contributed to and participated in the Apollo missions. Students work in teams on a final project analyzing an aspect of the historical project to articulate and synthesize ideas in engineering systems.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Science--Technology--and-Society/STS-471JSpring-2007/CourseHome/index.htmMindell, DavidYoung, Laurence2007-11-01T12:54:45-04:00STS.471JESD.30J16.895Jen-USAeronautics and AstronauticsAerospace, Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineeringmission to Marsspace sciencelunar scienceman on the moonspace craft designNASAKennedy1960s politicsSoviet space programSovietsspace programApollo programastronautsLEMLMlunar modulelunar landingspace explorationScience, Technology, and SocietyEngineering Systems DivisionMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.
