Direct measures included Performance Indicators (PIs) that are drawn from both thesenior project and the coursework. Indirect measures included senior exit surveys, alumnisurveys, and industry advisory council surveys. The framework presented enabled the CETprogram to implement continuous improvement measures into the program, and thus, could beimplemented by other construction engineering programs nationwide, both as a generalassessment tool and/or to achieve ABET accreditation.IntroductionWith today’s competitive educational environment, assessment has become one of the maindrivers of excellence for most educational institutions [1], giving

For example, Project Managers andProduction managers on average earn more than $75,000 per year (NAHB’s 2014 Single-FamilyBuilder Compensation Study) and spend much of their time doing business management work.Interestingly, when the research participants learned this, over 57% said they would considerconstruction as a career choice.
