Overview

Module aims and purpose

The aim is to explore the changing nature of knowledge and practice in the management of construction firms. These changes bring new opportunities and new challenges for construction managers. We seek to empower students to have ownership of their own professional development through reflective writing. This involves reflections on translating theory into practice and provides an opportunity for students to understand their own learning.

Module learning outcomes

By the end of the module, it is expected that students will be able to:

  1. Evaluate different methods of reflection on their own practices and the practices of their firm
  2. Critique current construction management practice and explore the use of reflection in professional development
  3. Critically engage theory of reflection with their own practice聽
  4. Develop reflective portfolios that enable them enhance their competencies when taking any job roles but particularly in their professional development聽

Module content

The content involves:

  • Techniques used to reflect on a firm鈥檚 strategies and actions as well as decisions and behaviours at the individual level 聽
  • Integrating activities designed to draw together the learning during the first semester in a reflective way. This involves continuous study and discussion in seminars encompassing the content of the Construction Management programme and its application.聽
  • Competencies required by Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) and Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS)聽聽
