Download or read book Project Evaluation Essays and Case Studies written by Carl D. Martland and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based primarily upon materials prepared between 1997 and 2010 by Carl D. Martland for 1.011 Project Evaluation, a required course within MIT's Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering that he designed, developed, and taught for many years. It is structured to be of interest to anyone interested in infrastructure systems, especially engineers, planners and managers who design, build and operate such systems. The book may also be of interest to students in planning or engineering who are interested in transportation, water resources, energy, city planning, or real estate development. In 2012, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. published a 500-page textbook Toward More Sustainable Infrastructure: Project Evaluation for Planners and Engineers that was also authored by Mr. Martland and based upon the same course materials. That book, which was designed and formatted as a standard textbook for an undergraduate class, includes many more examples, hundreds of problems for students, an additional chapter on project management, and several open-ended case studies that can be used for class assignments. Instructors who purchase that textbook and assign it for their own class can obtain the textbook, a teaching guide, solutions to problems, and related power point presentations from Wiley. Additional materials related to 1.011 Project Evaluation can be obtained on-line from MIT's Open Courseware website, which can be accessed from MIT's homepage (www.mit.edu).
