CMTE 485 Data Analysis Methods in Construction

Credit 3
This course will enable students to become power users of Excel and will show them how to build models of unstructured problems so they can make better decisions and gain insight into the impact various factors have on those decisions. The vehicle used for developing such models is the familiar spreadsheet. Students will learn the creative process of constructing and using spreadsheet models of problems, specifically how to design, build and test spreadsheets and workbooks, and how to improve the efficiency and effectiveness with which they are used. Topics are explored by learning how to solve a wide variety of problems in the construction industry, often using tools and techniques from the field of management science that are built-in to Excel. Students with the knowledge acquired in this course will provide their employers with a competitive advantage and will themselves enjoy a competitive advantage over their peers who lack these skills. Prerequisite(s): Senior Standing/instructor’s approval
