Read Chapter 3 of Gould, F., and Joyce, N. Construction Project
Management, 4th Edition, Pearson,
2014.
PROBLEM:
Read the book of Nehemiah (chapters 1-13). As you read, pay
particular attention to how Nehemiah
approached the management of the construction of the wall around
Jerusalem. Recognize that Nehemiah
was a cupbearer, not a construction foreman, and yet God gave him a
lot of wisdom about how to handle
this massive undertaking.
Write a short paper outlining the story of Nehemiah and identify
the project management lessons we can
learn from this book. You should be able to relate these lessons to
modern scenarios. For example, we
probably don’t need to worry too much about how to respond to
people who show up at our jobsites and
mock us (this is uncommon at the American civil engineering job
site, and our laws alleviate most concerns
about physical threats), however, we CAN learn something about how
to respond to opposition and how to
protect and care for those who work under our supervision.
In addition to a brief introduction and conclusion, please
subdivide your paper into the following sections as
you provide a brief recap of relevant events and as you highlight
project management lessons:
• Planning and Pre-construction
• Construction
• Responding to Challenges
• Post-Construction
Your paper should be written as an argument with a thesis that
reflects the assignment above. Cite the
verses that support your arguments (such as each management
lesson). Keep quotations to a minimum – I
am more interested in seeing your thoughts in this paper than
simply a selection of quoted verses. Be
careful not to copy other authors’ writing (plagiarism). Use
complete sentences and paragraphs writing style.
Include informative figures, tables or images with captions and
citations where appropriate.
Your writing should reflect your status as a college student:
grammatical and typographical errors should not
be present. Your score will be reduced by at least one letter grade
if it is obvious from your submission that
you did not proofread your work.
Your paper should be 1000-1200 words when completed, including
titles and citations. At the end of your
paper include a bibliography citing the version of the Bible you
read from as well as any additional sources
you incorporated.
