It took seven uninterrupted years of persistent effort to reach the current level of “faculty culture” that sustains this program in a stable manner. The second element is based on the research finding that it takes 10 years of active engagement to become an expert in any domain, even for the most talented individuals [6, p.412; as quoted in 7]. Clearly, it takes patience and persistence to reach a high level of achievement. After the grant period, all

Decisions in higher education are not always data driven and the need for data isunderestimated. An example of a process improvement involves recording scores on theaccounting section of the Educational Testing Service standardized test. Additional data such asfaculty assignments, textbooks, course design, teaching methods, and course order werecollected. To improve average test scores from 42.4% to 46.5%, the input variables werealtered. These changes to the program design resulted in an actual increase to 47.3%, above thedesired goal[6].In the study by Razaki & Aydin, different process improvement

All civil engineeringprograms are required to provide a broad education, which includes several design subdisciplinecourses with attendant laboratory experience. Consequently, the credits available for projectmanagement courses are severely limited. While a construction management curriculum mayinclude two project management courses and possibly a separate scheduling course, there areinsufficient credits available in a civil engineering curriculum to provide such coverage.Consequently, CE Management is
