sectors, such as Electrical,Mechanical, Sheet Metal and Roofing. Major impediments to establishing specialty constructionprograms have been finding faculty qualified to develop and teach curriculum and finding roomin existing curriculum for new programs.A unique solution was developed through the Academic Consortium Project of the SpecialtyConstruction Institute. The vision was to bring together a consortium of established constructionprograms with shared interest in developing the specialty area to design, develop, and deliver ashared curriculum. This would allow working in established programs rather than building “fromscratch”. It also would allow faculty without broad expertise in specialty areas to develop a new,focused expertise with help

In this context, strategywas operationalized through decision-making and consensus-building among the engineeringfaculty members. The participant at the private not-for-profit master’s: larger programs noted: We have a relative few number of faculty; they’re all strongly supporting it [ethics]... We have, between civil, mechanical, electrical, and construction management, about 20 faculty between the full time ones and the part time ones and I’ve seen it uniform across the board. When you have a smaller group, it’s easier to get consensus and when you have a smaller group, we’re

Manywere purely computer-based, such as creating animations, making games, building simulations, managing stockportfolios, etc. Many projects were based upon Lego robotics.

This program is designed to allow the incorporation of not only the RASSP-developed technologies,but also all future technologies necessary for improved products and processes. The key strengths of thisprogram are two-fold. First, the program is modular so that academic programs can use only those portions thatare appropriate. Second, the program supports the continuous upgrade of the material, thereby making theeducational material always up-to-date, and the potential for involvement of all participants in the education ofsystem design. The later attribute of this effort creates the potential for a program that can outlive the RASSPprogram. The
