Change is a part of constructionirrespective of the project delivery methods – change happens and should be properly planned for.Knowledge of contract changes and claims brings together various areas of construction practices. Fromconstruction law to construction materials and methods, cost estimating, value engineering, planning andscheduling, risk management, and leadership. This paper makes the case for teaching contract changesand claims management to students in construction-related programs and the paper also presents a modelsyllabus for the implementation of the course. For the students taking the class, this should help thembuild

. Thispaper presents lessons learned from creating the BS in construction engineering program at The Citadel.In particular, we discuss the opportunities and challenges related to development of curricular content,preparation of course syllabi, adopting textbooks, assessment and accreditation, and industry relations forcreating a construction engineering program. Seventeen new courses were created for the new program.The course maps of all ABET accredited construction programs in the US were reviewed, a database ofskill sets required of construction engineers was established, and more than 100 related textbooks wereevaluated to decide the course learning objectives and create the syllabi. A robust assessment scheme wascreated and used in documentation

Construction Engineering and Management Undergraduate ProgramsAbstractThe construction industry is widely recognized as a male-dominated environment, which haspresented challenges in attracting qualified female employees. The considerably low femalestudent enrollments in construction engineering and management (CEM) undergraduate degreeprograms have continued to draw attention from academia. This study focuses on a cohort offemale students in a CEM program at a regional university in the Northeast. It examines thestudents’ CEM degree choice decision, their learning experience, and the strategies for attractingmore female students to CEM programs. This study identifies the factors that influence femalestudents' choices in pursuing CEM

This study aims to provide academicinstitutions recommendations for the shift in priorities that the workforce must adapt to in therecruitment and retention of the construction industry. In recent years, the STEM professionshave lost talent to other industries because the generations currently entering the workforcemisconstrue the work-life balance (WLB) expectations pertaining to engineering, architecture,and construction industries. Construction careers can be highly stressful, with pressures such asachieving tight program deadlines, meeting the needs of multiple stakeholders, dealing withdisputes, and enforcing the safety of all individuals on site. To this end, there is a growing needfor pedagogical
