Mongolia Certified Construction Engineer study plan

Mongolia Certified Construction Engineer · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Building structures and structural design

  • Reproduce from memory the load-path and limit-state framework for reinforced concrete and steel members, stating design strength and serviceability criteria without notes.

  • Solve at least 12 hand-calculation problems on bending, shear, and deflection of beams and columns, checking each against code partial factors.

  • Draw and label the structural systems (frame, shear wall, braced, flat slab) for three building typologies and justify the choice for each.

  • Compile a one-page formula sheet covering section properties, buckling, and stability coefficients, and verify every entry against the standard.

Your checkpoint

A 20-problem worked calculation set on structural member design with a self-graded error log listing every mistake and its root cause.

Week 2

Building structures and structural design & Geotechnics, foundations, and engineering geology

  • Analyze a multi-storey frame under gravity and lateral load, producing bending moment and shear diagrams by approximate method.

  • Classify soils by grain size and plasticity, and select bearing capacity and settlement parameters for two foundation cases.

  • Compare shallow footing, pile, and raft solutions for a given soil profile and defend one selection in writing.

  • Interpret a borehole log and groundwater record and translate it into design assumptions for the foundation.

Your checkpoint

A foundation design brief for a hypothetical 6-storey building: soil interpretation, chosen foundation type, and bearing capacity calculation with assumptions stated.

Week 3

Construction technology and organization of construction

  • Sequence the works for a cast-in-place concrete frame from excavation to finishing, listing predecessors, inspections, and hold points for each activity.

  • Produce a resource-loaded schedule for a small project using critical path logic and identify the critical activities.

  • Describe formwork, scaffolding, and concrete placement methods, and state the curing and stripping criteria to be enforced on site.

  • Draft the inspection and test plan entries for earthworks, reinforcement, and concrete, naming the acceptance criteria sources.

Your checkpoint

A one-page critical path schedule plus a 15-activity inspection and test plan with hold points and responsible parties.

Week 4

Construction technology and organization of construction & Construction materials and quality control

  • Specify concrete mix requirements (strength class, exposure, workability, cement type) for three exposure scenarios and justify each parameter.

  • Design a sampling and testing regime for concrete and reinforcement covering frequency, specimen handling, and acceptance decisions.

  • Explain the causes and prevention of the main concrete defects and write the corrective action for each.

  • Evaluate test certificates for cement, aggregate, and steel and identify which results would trigger rejection.

Your checkpoint

A materials quality control dossier for one concrete pour: mix specification, sampling plan, test result table, and accept/reject decision with reasoning.

Week 5

Building codes, standards, and technical regulations & Engineering systems (water supply, sewerage, heating, ventilation, electrical)

  • Map the hierarchy of Mongolian building codes and technical regulations, and locate the governing clause for fire resistance, structural safety, and energy performance.

  • Compare a design against code requirements for egress, ventilation rates, and water supply pressure, documenting each compliance check.

  • Size a simple water supply and drainage line and a heating or ventilation branch using standard design tables.

  • List the documentation a state technical inspection expects at handover and match each item to its regulatory basis.

Your checkpoint

A compliance matrix of 25 code requirements mapped to a sample project, with clause references and pass/fail status for each.

Week 6

Construction economics, estimating, and contract management & Professional ethics, legal responsibility, and environmental protection

  • Build a unit-rate estimate for three work items from first principles, covering labour, material, plant, and overhead.

  • Prepare a bill of quantities for a small building element and price it, then reconcile against a benchmark rate.

  • Draft the key clauses of a construction contract covering scope, payment, variations, delay, and dispute resolution, and explain the risk allocation in each.

  • Identify the legal and environmental obligations of the engineer on site, including waste handling, protected zones, and reporting duties.

Your checkpoint

A priced bill of quantities for one building element with a written justification of rates and a one-page risk allocation summary for the contract clauses.

Week 7

Occupational safety, health, and fire safety on site

  • Develop a site-specific safety plan covering excavation, work at height, lifting, and electrical hazards, with controls ranked by hierarchy of control.

  • Specify fire safety measures for a construction site: access, extinguishers, hot work permits, and evacuation arrangements.

  • Write the emergency response procedure for three credible accident scenarios and assign roles.

  • Audit a hypothetical site description and list at least 15 nonconformities with the corrective action for each.

Your checkpoint

A site safety and fire plan with a hazard register of 20 entries, each with risk rating, control measure, and responsible person.

Week 8

Building structures and structural design & Building codes, standards, and technical regulations & Construction economics, estimating, and contract management

  • Complete two full-length timed mock exams under exam conditions and record the score for each domain.

  • Re-work every missed question, tracing the error to a knowledge gap or a misread, and close each gap with a targeted review note.

  • Recite the top 30 code clauses and formulas from memory in a rapid self-test and mark those still uncertain.

  • Consolidate all weekly deliverables into a single indexed revision file organized by domain for final review.

Your checkpoint

Two scored mock exams with an error analysis table and a final one-page revision sheet per domain.

Milestones

Week 2: Score at least 70% on a self-made 20-question structural and geotechnical test, and complete the foundation design brief without consulting worked examples.

Week 4: Explain the full construction sequence and concrete acceptance criteria aloud in under 10 minutes with no notes, and pass a 15-question materials quiz at 80%.

Week 6: Produce a priced estimate and a code compliance matrix that a peer can follow without asking clarifying questions.

Week 8: Average at least 75% across both mock exams with no single domain below 60%, and have every weekly deliverable indexed in the revision file.
