capstone experience with industry, andexpanded teamwork and communication training / simulations planned for the capstone. Therecent addition of a major in Design and Construction Integration in the Purdue UniversitySchool of Construction Management will also provide an opportunity for multi-disciplinaryexpansion of the design-build capstone simulation. As DCI students from the CM programreceive design exposure by attending interior design or architecture studios and becomeintegrated in the capstone course in future years, a new trans-disciplinary environment willbecome available for study.

industry standards through theireducation [2].The ACCE standards, before the change to Student Learning Outcomes (SLO) were developed inthe 1990’s and were periodically revised and updated. A three-level structure (curriculumcategories, core subject matter & fundamental topical content) for setting the standards for thecurriculum content came into force in 2002 following almost 10 years of committee work [11].That curriculum standards were prescriptive that required a minimum number of credit hours tobe taught in specific core subject matter and all fundamental topical content to be covered.Within each curriculum category, there was a specific core subject matter that has to be includedin the curriculum. In most cases, a minimum number of

a variety of fields, and the requirements to obtain the desiredposition(s) within these fields also have significant range. Many of the requirements involvelicensing and certifications, whereas many of the higher-up administrative positions requirebachelor and master degrees. The incentive behind this research project was to investigate whyso many construction degree programs at the college and university levels are either closing, orat a minimum not meeting the demand of industry by providing sufficient graduates for thepositions available, and why most high schools in the United States are no longer offeringconstruction type courses. A survey completed by a state board of education in a western Statefound that even drafting and CAD high

By virtue of that assessment alone, thepopulation who own a computer has increased by 2,685% since the 1980’s. Conversely, testing in the field of Civil Engineering has remained relatively stagnant.OSHA provides videos and computer-based courses as can be seen on their website. However,these educational tools are not regularly updated or improved with technology [11].
