This course introduces the students to the concept of value in Engineering (VE). VE is an organized approach to provide the necessary functions at the lowest costs. This course provides students with knowledge and techniques of working in a multi-disciplinary team to produce outcomes which demonstrate good value in programs, projects, systems, services or products. Classical VE principles will be introduced and practical applications for construction managers, contractors, and other construction functions will be described. This course is designed to offer the students a chance to work in an industry participation on a real-world-problem. Several concepts required to conduct value engineering in the construction industry is introduced including, Function Analysis System Technique, Idea Generation Techniques, Multi-Attribute Evaluation, Life Cycle Costing, etc. It also aims to equip students with the skills required to develop alternatives, life cycle cost assessment, prepare presentations of their findings as well as a written report. A project is required.
