The Engineering and Project Management Program offers a weekly Construction Engineering and Management Seminar where industry speakers talk about current practices and innovations in the Architecture/Engineering/Construction industry. The seminar is held on Wednesdays from 12 to 1 PM and is open to all U.C. Berkeley students, faculty, and staff; it is not open to the general public. For a schedule of speakers, see http://construction.berkeley.edu/. CE167 students are welcome to enroll and attend this seminar though doing so is not required.

ASSIGNMENTS, EXAMS, AND GRADING:

Assignments are due at the start of class on the set due date. You are expected to develop your own solution even if you discussed the problems with other students.
