The Master of Project Management (MPM) program at NorthwesternUniversity has been established in response to this specific need in the construction industry.The program’s multidisciplinary approach combines essential components of civil engineeringdesign with concepts of business management and behavioral science to develop technicallyqualified individuals for responsible management roles in the design, construction, and operationof major engineering projects. The particular features that make this program particularlyresponsive to this need are (a) it is taught almost exclusively by a faculty of more than 20 high-level practitioners, (b) the student body is truly global to enhance the multicultural aspects of thecurrent market

The purpose of these visits was to learn more about how they are structured, theirhistory, their faculty, and other related items. This paper presents findings from these visits, inthe areas of types of faculty, teaching loads, enrollment trends, local organization, placement,experiential learning, scholarship & scholarly productivity, industry experience, industryadvisory boards, and program accreditation.Motivation The primary purpose of this study was to better understand programs in constructionmanagement, industrial design, information technology, manufacturing
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
