The Project Management Game. This desktop simulation of a development project is used to give students a visceral experience in the challenges of managing project dynamics. It is used throughout the course in ‘Strategic Construction and Engineering Management’.
The Rig Installation Game. This desktop simulation of installing an offshore oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico is used by students to describe, design, and test project strategies under uncertainty. Used in course ‘Engineering Project Estimating and Planning’ and Leadership in Civil Engineering course (University of la Mancha, Spain), developed in 2004.
The Design Phase Management Game. This desktop simulation of construction project phase and supporting interactive discussion is used as the basis for building dynamic simulation models. Used in course ‘Strategic Construction and Engineering Management’ developed in 2003.
The Structure of Construction Supply Chains. This set of exercises builds modeling skills based on an in-class exercise in managing a lumber supply chain. Used in course ‘Strategic Construction and Engineering Management’ developed in 2000.
Special Projects. Assignment for graduate students. developed with Prof. Luciana Barroso. ‘Strategic Construction and Engineering Management’, developed in 2000.
