REFLEXION

 REFLEXION
   Las clases fueron tanto en el aula como en el laboratorio, bastantes dinamicas e interactivas dando como resultado que las herramientas y definiciones explicada por la profesora realmente fueron facil de entender y facil de aplicarlas a la hora de realizar los ejercicios dados

 Es muy bueno diferentes herramientas, las presentaciones en power point, el uso de traductor digitales, el diccionario. Son herramientas que ayudan a perderle el miedo al idioma ingles cuando se saben utilizar.Ese fue mi cas
Mis compañeros de aulas son realmentes participativos y con compañerismo.


Realmente fue novedoso y nuevo para mi, ya que nunca habita utilizado un blog y menos como area de aprendizaje realmente fue gratificante ver esta materia de una manera diferente.

Claro que si ya aprendi a como utilizar de manera adecuada el diccionario y la ventajas de saberlo usar, mas las herramientas de traduccion dado en la unidad III y IV hace mucho mas facil la comprension de un texto en ingles por mas complicado que sea.

Por supuesto que si, ya que hoy en dia muchos de los texto y revistas que traen lo ultimo en informacion de una area vienen en ingles
Que tuvieran mas disponibilidad para utilizar los laboratorios.

 Major Types of Construction (TEXTO I)
Since most owners are generally interested in acquiring only a specific type of constructed facility, they should be aware of the common industrial practices for the type of construction pertinent to them. Likewise, the construction industry is a conglomeration of quite diverse segments and products. Some owners may procure a constructed facility only once in a long while and tend to look for short term advantages. However, many owners require periodic acquisition of new facilities and/or rehabilitation of existing facilities. It is to their advantage to keep the construction industry healthy and productive. Collectively, the owners have more power to influence the construction industry than they realize because, by their individual actions, they can provide incentives or disincentives for innovation, efficiency and quality in construction. It is to the interest of all parties that the owners take an active interest in the construction and exercise beneficial influence on the performance of the industry.
In planning for various types of construction, the methods of procuring professional services, awarding construction.

HISTORY

Is a discipline, Project Management developed from different fields of application including construction, engineering and defense. In the United States, the forefather of project management is Henry Gantt, called the father of planning and control techniques, who is famously known for his use of the Gantt chart as a project management tool, for being an associate of Frederick Winslow Taylor’s theories of scientific management, and for his study of the work and management of Navy ship building. His work is the forerunner to many modern project management tools including the work breakdown structure (WBS) and resource allocation.
The 1950s marked the beginning of the modern Project Management era. Again, in the United States, prior to the 1950s, projects were managed on an ad hoc basis using mostly Gantt Charts, and informal techniques and tools. At that time, two mathematical project scheduling models were developed: (1) the “Program Evaluation and Review Technique” or PERT, developed by Booz-Allen & Hamilton as part of the United States Navy’s (in conjunction with the Lockheed Corporation) Polaris missile submarine program; and (2) the “Critical Path Method” (CPM) developed in a joint venture by both DuPont Corporation and Remington Rand Corporation for managing plant maintenance projects. These mathematical techniques quickly spread into many private enterprises.

Construction Management Careers, Jobs and Employment Information
Construction Management Career and Job Description



A construction contractor or manager is in charge of many different aspects of construction and is known by any number of titles, including constructor, construction superintendent, general superintendent, production manager, project manager, general construction manager, executive construction manager, general contractor, contractor, and subcontractor. Those serving as construction contractors or managers might actually be the owner or a salaried worker employed by the construction contracting company or just an individual contracted to work for the owner, developer, contractor, or management firm responsible for the build.
The term "construction manager" is used vaguely to define all supervisory-level salaried and self-employed construction managers who direct construction supervisors and workers and manage projects in this fashion. Supervisory level managers work under mid-level and top-level construction managers, who are broadly considered general managers and high level executives.
The term "construction manager" is used by the construction industry to represent a company or employee who takes on additional reposibilities and control over the construction projects. A construction manager is like a consultant, and thus provided consulting to the owner or developer related to the progress and logistics of a project.
On smaller projects such as a home being remodeled a construction manager is typically self-employed and manage their own workers. Larger projects, such as building an industrial building require several supervisors and managers due to the complexity of the build. Large constuction projects are carried out in a number of steps which involve site preparation, such as land clearing and earth moving; sewage systems; landscaping and road construction; building construction, including excavation and laying foundations, erection of framework, floors, walls, and roofs; or building services, including carpentry, electrical, plumbing, air conditioning, and heating. Construction managers might be responsible for one of these steps or many of them, and will be assisted by workers under their charge such as crew supervisors who report to the construction manger

Construction Management Training and Job Qualifications
The number of applicants with a solid academic foundation is increasing. Prospects for a job can be improved by obtaining a bachelor's degree in construction science with an emphasis on construction management. In 1992, close to 130 colleges and universities were offering 4-year degree programs in construction science. Such degrees involve coursework in project control and development, site planning, building design, construction methods, construction materials, value analysis, cost estimating, scheduling, contract administration, building codes and standards, inspection procedures, as well as electives in engineering and architectural sciences, mathematics, statistics, and computer science. Those graduating in the aforementioned degrees are typically brought on to work as project managers, field engineers, schedulers, or cost estimators. There is also an increasing amount of graduates in engineering, cost estimating, and architecture who are entering the construction management field, frequently after obtaining a significant amount of experience in the construction field.
There approximately 30 colleges which provide master’s degree programs in construction science, and one, the University of Florida, provides a program to obtain a doctoral degree in construction science. Graduates of master’s degree programs, particularly those with experience, normally become construction managers for big coporations. Graduates of doctoral degree programs normally become college professors.

UNIDAD IV (MARCADORES DE DISCURSO)

TEXTO I

Project management is the discipline of planning, organizing, securing and managing resources to bring about the successful completion of specific project goals and objectives. It is sometimes conflated with program management, however technically that is actually a higher level construction: a group of related and somehow interdependent engineering projects.

A
project is a temporary endeavor, having a defined beginning and end (usually constrained by date, but can be by funding or deliverables),[1] undertaken to meet unique goals and objectives,[2] usually to bring about beneficial change or added value. The temporary nature of projects stands in contrast to business as usual (or operations),[3] which are repetitive, permanent or semi-permanent functional work to produce products or services. In practice, the management of these two systems is often found to be quite different, and as such requires the development of distinct technical skills and the adoption of separate management.

The primary challenge of project management is to achieve all of the project goals
[4] and objectives while honoring the preconceived project constraints.[5] Typical constraints are scope, time, and budget.[1] The secondary—and more ambitious—challenge is to optimize the allocation and integration of inputs necessary to meet pre-defined objectives

TEXTO II

HISTORY

Project management has been practiced since early civilization. Until 1900 civil engineering projects were generally managed by creative architects and engineers themselves, among those for example Vitruvius (1st century BC), Christopher Wren (1632–1723) , Thomas Telford (1757–1834) and Isambard Kingdom Brunel (1806–1859).[6] It was in the 1950s that organizations started to systematically apply project management tools and techniques to complex engineering projects.
In 1969, the Project Management Institute (PMI) was formed in the USA.[15] PMI publishes A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide), which describes project management practices that are common to "most projects, most of the time." PMI also offers multiple certifications.
The American Academy of Project Management (AAPM) International Board of Standards 1996 was the first to institute post-graduate certifications such as the MPM Master Project Manager, PME Project Management E-Business, CEC Certified-Ecommerce Consultant, and CIPM Certified International Project Manager. The AAPM also issues the post-graduate standards body of knowledge for executives.

As a discipline, Project Management developed from several fields of application including civil construction, engineering, and heavy defense activity.[8] Two forefathers of project management are Henry Gantt, called the father of planning and control techniques,[9] who is famous for his use of the Gantt chart as a project management tool; and Henri Fayol for his creation of the 5 management functions which form the foundation of the body of knowledge associated with project and program management.[10] Both Gantt and Fayol were students of Frederick Winslow Taylor's theories of scientific management. His work is the forerunner to modern project management tools including work breakdown structure (WBS) and resource allocation.


The 1950s marked the beginning of the modern Project Management era where core engineering fields come together working as one. Project management became recognized as a distinct discipline arising from the management discipline with engineering model.
[11] In the United States, prior to the 1950s, projects were managed on an ad hoc basis using mostly Gantt Charts, and informal techniques and tools. At that time, two mathematical project-scheduling models were developed. The "Critical Path Method" (CPM) was developed as a joint venture between DuPont Corporation and Remington Rand Corporation for managing plant maintenance projects. And the "Program Evaluation and Review Technique" or PERT, was developed by Booz Allen Hamilton as part of the United States Navy's (in conjunction with the Lockheed Corporation) Polaris missile submarine program;[12] These mathematical techniques quickly spread into many private enterprises.

At the same time, as project-scheduling models were being developed, technology for project cost estimating, cost management, and engineering economics was evolving, with pioneering work by Hans Lang and others. In 1956, the American Association of Cost Engineers (now
AACE International; the Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering) was formed by early practitioners of project management and the associated specialties of planning and scheduling, cost estimating, and cost/schedule control (project control). AACE continued its pioneering work and in 2006 released the first integrated process for portfolio, program and project management (Total Cost Management Framework).


The
International Project Management Association (IPMA) was founded in Europe in 1967,[13] as a federation of several national project management associations. IPMA maintains its federal structure today and now includes member associations on every continent except Antarctica. IPMA offers a Four Level Certification program based on the IPMA Competence Baseline (ICB).[14] The ICB covers technical competences, contextual competences, and behavioral competences.

UNIDAD III (SCANNING)



Henry Ford (July 30, 1863 – April 7, 1947) was a prominent American industrialist, the founder of the Ford Motor Company, and sponsor of the development of the assembly line technique of mass production. His introduction of the Model T automobile revolutionized transportation and American industry. As owner of the Ford Motor Company, he became one of the richest and best-known people in the world. He is credited with "Fordism": mass production of inexpensive goods coupled with high wages for workers. Ford had a global vision, with consumerism as the key to peace. His intense commitment to systematically lowering costs resulted in many technical and business innovations, including a franchise system that put a dealership in every city in North America, and in major cities on six continents. Ford left most of his vast wealth to the Ford Foundation but arranged for his family to control the company permanently.


He was known worldwide especially in the 1920s for a system of Fordism that seemed to promise modernity, high wages and cheap consumer goods, but his antisemitism in the 1920s has been a source of controversy

TALLER (UNIDAD N°1 YN° 2)

Dubai is one of the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It is located south of the Persian Gulf on the Arabian Peninsula and has the largest population with the second-largest land territory by area of all the emirates, after Abu Dhabi. Dubai and Abu Dhabi are the only two emirates to have veto power over critical matters of national importance in the country's legislature
Cityscape

 Architecture

Dubai has a rich collection of buildings and structures of various architectural styles. Many modern interpretations of Islamic architecture can be found here, due to a boom in construction and architectural innovation in the Arab World in general, and in Dubai in particular, supported not only by top Arab or international architectural and engineering design firms design firms such as Al Hashemi and Aedas, but also by top firms of New York and Chicago.[As a result of this boom, modern Islamic - and world - architecture has literally been taken to new levels in skyscraper building design and technology. Dubai now boasts more completed or topped-out skyscrapers higher than 2/3 km, 1/3 km, or 1/4 km than any other city. A culmination point was reached in 2010 with the completion of the Burj Khalifa (Khalifa Tower), now by far the world's tallest building at 828 m (2,716 feet). The Burj Khalifa's design is derived from the patterning systems embodied in Islamic architecture, with the triple-lobed footprint of the building based on an abstracted version of the desert flower hymenocallis which is native to the Dubai region.]The completion of the Khalifa Tower, following the construction boom that began in the 1980s, accelerated in the 1990s, and took on a rapid pace of construction unparalled in modern human history during the decade of the 2000s, leaving Dubai with the world's tallest skyline as of January 4, 2010.
