Construction Engineering Technology Program Assessment FrameworkAbstractWith the ultimate goal of engineering programs to improve student learning, this paper presentsthe assessment framework developed, adopted, and implemented by the ConstructionEngineering Technology (CET) program at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona.The framework is set up to measure the attainment of both the Program Educational Objectives(PEOs) and Students Outcomes (SOs), as required by the Accreditation Board for Engineeringand Technology (ABET). The assessment of the PEOs was conducted through indirect measuresincluding surveys to alumni and industry advisory council. The assessment of SOs

, several studies have identified the lack of awareness about careers inconstruction to young women as an important factor that influences women’s participation inconstruction [8], [13], [16]. Moore & Gloeckner [16] suggest that to recruit more females inconstruction-related degree programs, it is important to educate and partner with careercounselors and college advisors and hold information sessions about the construction industryand careers in construction the high-school level. This could diminish the construction industry’sstereotype image and help attract and retain more female students to construction programs.This lack of awareness can be offset by having a family member (especially fathers) who worksin the construction industry [26

construction professionals deal with adiverse group of professionals in architecture, engineering and construction. In addition, there isan expectation within the construction industry of 18% growth in the use of Design-Builddelivery method over the years of 2018 to 2021 [2]. Design-Build can be considered a morecollaborative delivery method than Design-Bid-Build due to the engagement of contractor anddesigner during the initial development of a project. The rise in use of more collaborativedelivery methods, such as Design-Build, Construction Management at Risk, Integrated ProjectDelivery, as well as previous research [3], [4] indicates the need for improving collaborationfrom an industry perspective. Additionally, construction programs are aware of

Additionally, by exposing theyoungest of students to construction in an exciting hands-on digital activity (El-adaway, 2015),the field of construction becomes alive, and interesting to students, potentially putting them on apath towards careers in construction, or related STEM fields.MethodologyThe methodology of the study involved administering two pre post surveys. The first was aconstruction interest inventory, and the second was a careers interest assessment developed byMnCareers (mn.gov/mmb/careers/).The participants of the study consisted of two sample treatment populations, and a comparablecontrol population.

Many undergraduatecivil and architectural engineering programs address this at the document creation stage byteaching Autodesk AutoCAD or Revit to create 2-D or 3-D structural design files. However,students tend to have limited exposure to commercial software for document management andmarkup that allows for coordination between the engineer, architect, and contractor teams.Bluebeam Revu is one such software that has emerged as an industry standard for annotation andmarkup of engineering design documents.Previous educational studies on the use of Bluebeam have been in construction managementcourses where students

Building Construction Science program at Mississippi State University offers a summer program to increase students' interest in construction careers. This summer program attracted high school students from different areas of the state of Mississippi who had limited, if any, exposure to construction related career fields. The main goal of this program was to introduce construction science and trades to students through a small-sized construction project. This gave students a first-hand encounter with construction trades, increased their construction knowledge, and provided information from construction instructors and

Each person, no matter their status, was very helpful and eager to play a role in advancing my knowledge.” She emphasized the importance of getting “real- world experience” and stated, “It’s important to know how it relates to the actual world.” The second highlighted point was growing the professional network. This is a crucial outcome of the CEL program, which lasts for a longer period. Realization of this benefit through the lens of students encourages them to consider their time and efforts during their CEL program as a long investment that may bring them further opportunities.

This was statistically significant(p<0.05) and provided an indication that the construction program had somewhat contributed tothe improvement of students’ SL skills; however, additional curriculum improvements arenecessary to improve SL skills of construction students. The students’ best test performance wasrelated to identifying valid science arguments and evaluating the misuse of scientific data; whiletheir weakest performance was related to their somewhat weak quantitative aptitude. TheirTOSLS problem solving quantitative scores were significantly (p<0.001) lower than TOSLSvalid scientific argument scores.
