Abstract
The increased cost and complexity of many construction projects have
enhanced the importance of project management in the construction industry. Industry
and government now seek managerial as well as technical capabilities in
the engineers they employ. However, civil and construction engineering students
often have few opportunities for exposure to the conceptual and practical issues
involved with project management. This paper describes a game that was developed
to simulate the management of a design and construction project, and discusses
how the game was used to teach project management to civil engineering
students at Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pa.
