Introduction Engineering projects help students to learn and acquire practical knowledge. Despite of theory concept they acquire, various industries also need to know their capacity to complete projects using their specific initiatives. Thus, we recommend students to realize engineering projects in their four years of engineering and try to present as many white papers as possible. Students who give importance to their course projects are expected to learn how to: ● ● ● In the design process, both creativity and criticism are essential. The followings are the seven steps that students should consider while designing their projects: ● Work in teams including multidisciplinary teams Build a major design experience based on the knowledge and skills acquired in the course work Build a major design experience incorporates appropriate engineering standards and multiple realistic constraints ● Apply both analysis and synthesis in the engineering design process, resulting in designs that meet the desired needs Recognition of the need and identifying opportunities: Every project begins with recognition that needs improvement. These needs may be obvious or hidden to be revealed by investigation, surveys or research. Definition of the design problem: It is a major task requires gathering information about the problem. Definition of the design criteria and constraints: While the problem is being defined, the design criteria and constraints must be defined a. Design criteria are performance standards to be met by the design b. Design constraints are limitations placed on the designer, the final design or manufacturing process. Examples of possible constraints include accessibility, aesthetics, codes, constructability, cost, ergonomics, extensibility, functionality, interoperability, legal considerations, maintainability, manufacturability, marketability, policy, regulations, schedule, standards, sustainability, or usability. C. Risk analysis The design loop: design is a repetitive process of: a. Synthesis (Brainstorming - Generating new ideas) b. Analysis (Breaking ideas - find expected results) c. Decision-making (Deciding the best alternative) Optimization: Design team must ask themselves if it is the optimum design. Optimum is the best design that can be achieved at reasonable cost. The proposed design is judged against the design criteria Evaluation: Design team should hold a design review to approve drawings and specifications before they are released. If an optimum design cannot be achieved, the design team might revise the problem definition, the design criteria or the constraints in order to achieve the optimal solution or prototype. II. Project Description The CVL222 project is intended to demonstrate students' ability to initiate, plan, schedule and manage civil engineering facilities using the theories learnt in the class. Project scenario: A non-profit organization (NGO) would like to construct an environmentally friendly school building in the region. The NGO would like to have a school with a large green area on the land. The size of the given land is between 3200 m² and 5000m². Since the building will serve as a school, the number of students that will attend the school should be accounted for when the area of the school on the land is determined. The expected number of students can be determined as 300 * Group Number + 500 but should not exceed 2000. The required area for each student is 1 m² when determining the total Group Number area of the school. The parking lot should be calculated as x the total land area but cannot 100 be less than 300 m². The playground for students should be calculated based on the assumed number of students that will be on the playground. It should be expected that the playground area should Group Number accommodate x the total number of students, and for each student, the required area 10 should be 0.5 m². Your responsibility is to build a school with the shortest time possible. Moreover, in order to reduce the time of construction and protect the environment, you may only use structural steel. To create a green area, the area of the school should be carefully determined. It should be noted that the minimum number of floors of the school building should be 2 floors. Note that the constructed area is the summation of the school area, parking lot and the playground. The Number of working hours and cost for each task are presented in the below table: Number of working hours (per m²) Minimum number of labors per day 0.04 0.30 Task¹ Surveying General Excavation Excavation footings Footings Slab on Grade Columns per floor Each Slab Area (per m²) land area land area for 25% of the 0.35 constructed area 15% of the 0.35 constructed area the constructed 0.35 area 9% of the 0.65 constructed area the constructed 0.45 area Partition walls per 18% of the 0.50 floor ³ constructed area 1 4 2 1 2 2 1 2 Maximum number labors per day 4 7 5 4 4 5 5 Cost of ($/labor)² 1 These tasks are assumed to be performed in the construction facility for each floor and Garden. 2 The cost $/labor includes equipment cost, material cost and labor cost. 3 Including plastering and block work. 70 200 400 900 750 750 850 650 Electricity per floor 8% Mechanics floor Parking construction Playground construction Landscape Note: IV. constructed area 8% of the 0.5 constructed area lot Determined area 0.1 per Group Size: 3 students ● of the 0.35 ● Determined area 0.15 ABET Learning Outcome Determined area 0.2 1 1 PD1 should include: 2 2 Form project groups (group of 2 or 3) 2 Calculate the costs associated with construction labor (1).

The maximum number of working hours for a labor is 8 hours per day. The landscape, playground and parking lot cannot be constructed until the construction of frame system of the school. Project Management & Deliverables This project is divided into the following deliverables. Project Deliverable 1: Design submission (due date is November 27, 2023 @ 05:00pm): You are required to: 650 The aim of this project is to: Develop and analyze construction schedules in aspects of project duration, critical path, and floats (1, 2). 750 450 250 350 A proposition of two land areas for the construction of the facility with a minimum difference of 500 m². For each land area: A schedule for the activities that should be performed to build the facility by providing the shortest durations. For each land area: A construction cost calculation for the facility. A study of the area's impact on the duration and the cost. Use engineering judgment to draw conclusions about the results.
