Introduction to Construction Science

Construction science is the application of scientific principles, engineering knowledge, and systematic processes to the design and construction of the built environment. This module provides a comprehensive orientation to the construction industry — its history, its sectors, the people who make it work, the science that makes it possible, and the tools and technology that make it efficient. By the end of this module, you will have a working vocabulary, a clear mental model of how construction projects flow from idea to reality, and a foundation for every module that follows.
