Paper ID #21938Student Perception as a Planning Input in a Project-Based Construction Pro-gramDr. Saeed Rokooei, Mississippi State University Saeed Rokooei is an assistant professor of Building Construction Science at Mississippi State University. Saeed obtained his bachelor’s degree in Architecture and then continued his studies in Project and Con- struction Management. Saeed completed his PhD in Construction Management while he got a master of science in Management Information Systems. He is continuing his research on simulation to provide a comprehensive supplementary method in construction management education
, project management, strategic planning, preconstruction, and sustaining the built environment. At Purdue, Benhart also leads the Healthcare Construction Management program and works with the first ASHE (American Society of Healthcare Engineering) student chapter. His position allows him to further develop construction education in the built environment and be an in- dustry advocate for the next generation of builders. He is also very involved in field supervision training programs, both at Purdue and on the national level. He focuses on the sustainability of our industry by mentoring the retiring baby boomers with new foremen and superintendents. Benhart also has an exten- sive resume in industry. His previous position
Standards for Accreditation Fall 2016Ultimately the new Outcome Based Standards 103 ((http://www.acce-hq.org/accreditation_process/accreditation-procedures/) were approved with all programsrequired to use the new standards in fall 2016 [8]. They are:1. Create written communications appropriate to the construction discipline.2. Create oral presentations appropriate to the construction discipline.3. Create a construction project safety plan.4. Create construction project cost estimates.5. Create construction project schedules.6. Analyze professional decisions based on ethical principles.7. Analyze construction documents for planning and management of construction processes.8 .Analyze methods, materials, and equipment used to

architects started working on floor plans andother items before the engineering and construction management students started full-time workon the project. During this initial design stage, the architects brought in engineers andconstruction managers to consult as necessary. After design concepts were substantiallycomplete, the construction managers played a larger role in developing constructiondocumentation, specifications, and plans for construction.

the same as the previous “Return” buttons.After reviewing above tabs, students have learned construction information of a sluice gate fromperspective of construction materials, masonry work, earthwork and foundation. In the followingtabs, students will experience the construction process of a sluice gate by virtually building asluice gate by themselves. The Construction Process Simulation tab is unique to the previoustabs. There are seven sub-tabs under this tab, which are Start, Construction Plan, Foundation,Bottom Layer, Middle Layer, Top Layer, and Finish, working as a step-to-step process to build asluice gate. Figure 8 shows the Start tab and Construction Plan tab. Figure 8: MUSSN Construction Process Simulation Tab and Construction Plan
Education from Tufts University.Ms. Kristin Marie Kibling, Texas State University Ms. Kristin Kibling is a graduate student, completing her Masters of Science in Technology Management with a concentration in Construction Management at Texas State University. She is a full time professional in the construction industry with over 15 years’ experience in the private and public sector of commercial preconstruction, marketing, business development and project management. Kristin currently holds a position in Texas State University’s Facilities Planning, Design and Construction department where she is responsible for planning, estimating, directing, scheduling, inspecting and coordinating construction activities for campus

The challenge of any program assessmentprocess has always been the development of a structured, systematic, and effective process thatencompasses all stakeholders, and provides opportunity for continuous improvement, as poorlyconstructed assessments can lead to loss of time, money, and educators’ energy [3]. Systematicassessments, though challenging, are necessary for program improvement [2, 4]. With the moveof California State Polytechnic University, Pomona’s

However, most construction curricula are highly tailored to prepare students forproject management and estimating roles. Generally, project managers plan, budget, oversee, anddocument all aspects of their construction projects, while estimators determine the quantities andcosts of construction projects. Furthermore, many construction programs are structured to preparestudents mostly for commercial construction projects [1]. This is logical as most of the employersof undergraduate Construction students offer student opportunities to work on commercialconstruction projects. With the current focus of

A democracy demands that its citizens make personal and community decisionsabout issues in which scientific information plays a fundamental role, and they hence need aknowledge of science as well as an understanding of scientific methodology; 4.
