, Construction Engineering, Construction EngineeringTechnology, etc.) by various departments and colleges (Applied Science, Engineering, Business,Management, etc.). To recognize CM as a STEM field, more specifically an engineering field, thedefinition of “engineering” by Lucas and Dobrijevic as “the application of science andmathematics to solve problems” [9] is considered. While CM students do apply science andmathematics to develop cost estimates and schedules, it should be also noted that successfulconstruction relies on the application of several other engineering concepts including statics,dynamics, structures, hydraulics, and soils analysis. Graduates of CEPs must understand how theseconcepts apply to the construction projects which are undertaken
