The assessment plans weredeveloped by four-person committees with on-going input from the other chemical engineeringfaculty. The NCA assessment plan was developed by the department’s Curriculum Committee.The ABET assessment plan was developed by an ad hoc ABET/Assessment Committee. Two ofthe faculty on this committee had worked on the NCA assessment plan developed by theCurriculum Committee.The department’s assessment plan consists of four major goals that can be related to the ABETEC2000 outcomes (a) through (k) and to the AIChE Program Criteria: (1) Students shouldmaster chemical engineering fundamentals necessary to function as a professional in

there was much discussion at the general facultysessions concerning what is more important in a Construction Management faculty position-professional field experience or a PhD in an appropriate area (such as Civil, Mechanical,Electrical Engineering, Architecture, Business, etc.). Since Construction Management is anapplied profession the majority of the attendees believe that the professional field experience ismore relevant than the PhD.Even though practicing Construction Management professors carry this belief back to theirrespective campus’ there is a current need to develop new Construction Management professorsdue to the expanding professional need of the construction industry.

Additionally, we felt that some of the unique features of this course could beuseful for faculty in other institutions responsible for laboratory style courses.
