Description

Objective:

The course objective is to teach professionals how to contribute solutions to senior leaders and how to provide resources for the Facilities Engineering (FE) professional via the course community of practice. Students look at aspects of construction projects from inception through disposal to include requirements development, costing, risk and issue management, and overall project management. This is a blended Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT) course. Through realistic, lecture and scenario-based learning, professionals work in teams to practice developing solutions to a variety of challenges that FE professionals encounter within DOD military construction and facility maintenance.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Given a facility engineering project, use the financial management terms to track resources for a project and apply the Life Cycle Cost Model to the project.
  • Given a facility engineering program, produce a program and a contract Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
  • Given a service or construction contracting scenario, select the appropriate wage/fringe rate and summarize the procedures used to make subsequent wage rate adjustments.
  • Using a lecture and case scenario, given a mission statement and alternatives, prepare requirements documents for congressional approval, in accordance with DoD policies and procedures
  • Given a partial requirement, determine the cost risk associated with fulfilling the requirement for a project
  • Given a scenario, apply risk management actions and processes for a facilities engineering project
