The average score of options A-D was 2.64, 2.62, 3.23, and 2.30, respectivelywhich indicates a similar medium desirability between Option A and Option B. In addition,Option C was reported as the favorite option while Option D was rated as the least favoriteoption. Figure 6 shows the percentage of each option at each desirability level. 50 47 45 40

The “Open Map” button, as seen in Figures 1 and 2, canbe pressed at any time throughout the learning tool. When the user selects the button, a site mapappears and the button changes to read “Close Map”. This same button can then be pressed toclose the map. An example of this can be seen in Appendix B, Figure 23. Items from theenvironment are present on the map to aid the user in locating their position and knowing withrelative ease where to go next.

The sixelements of science literacy are: (a) understanding basic science concepts, (b) understandingnature of science, (c) understanding ethics guiding scientists’ work, (d) understandinginterrelationships between science and society, (e) understanding interrelationship betweenscience and humanities, and (f) understanding the relationships and differences between scienceand technology [7]. The proportion of U.S. adults qualifying as being scientifically literate isnow 28% and has doubled over the last two decades, but the current level is still problematic fora democratic society that

Informal discussionswith some selected students provided additional insights.Key findings indicated that future construction career role preferences were: (a) Project Manager(MPCRS = 8); (b) Superintendent (MPCRS = 7); (c) Real Estate Developer and Graduate Student(MPCRS = 6); and (d) Estimator / Inspector (MPCRS = 5). The reasons construction students gavefor preferring the project manager and superintendent roles included high salaries, opportunity tolead, love for authority, prior experiences, internships, role models, management skills, hands onwork, and working outdoors. The study showed that key reasons for students’ pursuit of a CMdegree included

Direct measures included PIs thatare drawn from both the senior project and the coursework. Indirect measures include senior exitsurveys, alumni surveys, and IAC surveys. These tools will be discussed in further details inSections A and B, covering the assessment tools used for the PEOs, and then moving into detailingthe assessment measures for the SOs.

The processof developing the program through various iterations of faculty findings and subsequentrefinements are illustrated with further implementation of data collection using InstitutionalPlanning, Assessment and Research (IPAR) documentation to enhance the faculty collectionprocess. These assessment efforts determined how the program continually contributed to studentgrowth and development. The development process elaborated in this paper provides otherconstruction management education programs, faculty, and researchers with a systematicstructure for use in assessing program
