programs require faculty to hold a PhD,it is becoming increasingly difficult to find quality tenure-track faculty applicants with both aPhD and industry experience. Generally, the path to a PhD does not leave room for significantconstruction industry experience. The shortest path to a PhD is continuous education fromundergraduate through graduate school. Once a person leaves the education path and entersindustry, it is often hard to leave industry for full-time studies and construction does not lenditself to part-time graduate studies while working full-time. These divergent paths to aprofessional career leave a gap in prospective construction educators.The Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) values construction experience
