The course aims to equip BSEs with the tools and for the international construction market through the use of Project Execution Plans (PEPs). With case studies from two fictional countries, Umerland and Zinoes, it presents a realistic learning environment to address specific international construction challenges.
Course Breakdown
- Compliance with Global Standards: Engineers learn to harmonise international standards like ISO and ASTM with local regulations, ensuring global compliance.
- Cultural and Environmental Context: Designing demands sensitivity to cultural and environmental conditions. The course develops skills to create sustainable and culturally appropriate spaces.
- Innovation through Technology: Students explore and apply emerging technologies to meet the unique demands of construction driving innovation and efficiency.
- Project Management Skills: Real-world team management and communication are practiced through PEPs, preparing students for international collaboration and conflict resolution.
- Economic Acumen: The training includes economic analysis, cost control, market trends, and risk management, crucial for financial planning in international projects.
- Adaptability and Growth: Engineers refine their PEPs to adapt to feedback and changing conditions, fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
- Professional Pathways: The course encourages engineers to align international opportunities with their career ambitions, leveraging new skills for professional advancement.
Learning Outcomes:
Upon completion, Building Services Engineers would possess a robust set of tools to demonstrate their ability to manage complex, cross-border projects. The course would not only bolster their technical and managerial skills but also prepare them to confidently navigate the intricacies of the global construction industry.
The proposed training is tailored for Building Services Engineers, encompassing a range of job functions within the field of construction and facilities management. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Design Engineers: Those specializing in the creation of systems within buildings, such as HVAC, electrical, and plumbing, would benefit from learning how to adapt designs to meet international standards and local codes, as well as incorporating sustainable practices and innovative technologies.
- Project Managers: This group would particularly benefit from modules on collaborative project management, economic analysis, and adaptability. The course would equip them with the skills to lead international construction projects, manage diverse teams, and navigate the complexities of global project execution.
In summary, the training is designed to enhance the skills and knowledge of professionals across the building services engineering spectrum who are involved in or aspire to be part of international construction projects. It would serve both those who are currently working on international projects and those who aim to expand their career to include such projects in the future.
