critical. This decision is often based on a number of factors, including pastexperience, skill, and time availability of the owners’ project staff. Additionally, the ownersmust also decide on their priorities. The four main criteria for the success of any project are cost,quality, time, and safety. There are many viable project delivery methods available today. Thefollowing three approaches are the most popular construction project delivery methods: Design/Bid/Build (also called the Traditional Delivery Method) Construction Manager @ Risk (CM@R) Design/Build (D/B)Design/Bid/Build ApproachThis is the traditional project delivery method, and is sequential in nature. The owner selects anarchitect and/or engineer to design the

Each curriculum designer, however, should determine the level of skill to achieve anyobjectives and the unique capabilities of the institution and its faculty. Also, some items that areranked lower may be important to other constituencies and may need to be considered forinclusion in the curriculum.Appendix B contains a rank order listing of the 172 items under the eleven ABET outcomescategories which is summarized in Table 2. Reviewing the top items for each of the elevenoutcomes from Table 2 reveals more subtle yet very valuable uses for the database. From theTable 2, the results indicated that 3 to 5 yrs experienced contractors will have betterunderstanding and performance in all eleven criteria

drawn to it.Current Trends in Shop Drawings SubmittalThe old days of full-size shop drawings are now disappearing, and most of the shop drawingsubmittals are on 11 x 17 paper (Size B). It is a recent trend in the industry and is likely tocontinue…it is an evolutionary progress attributed to the computer age. It costs around 2 cents toprint an 11x17 CAD drawing off a standard laser printer while a full size drawing off a plottercosts around a dollar. Printing or plotting a set of full size drawings consisting of several sheets,and with a distribution list consisting of several parties, the paper costs can be quite high. An 11x 17 CAD drawing costs less and results in substantial savings. Though an 11 x 17 CAD drawingcan not fit as much

How to approach this varies by the instructor, the course, the text beingused and the difficulty of the terminology. It is important to not only understand themeaning of a term but how it relates to other terms that are being discussed. Thetechnique presented in this paper uses a modified version of a method that assists
