undergraduate students GIS and GPS knowledgethrough several related courses in a construction engineering and management (CEM) program.This information could be disseminated through typical CEM courses such as Surveying,Construction Planning and Scheduling, Construction Contract and Field Management, and asenior level Special Topics in Construction course. The students will be exposed to the latestspatial technologies including GIS, GPS, laser scanning, aerial photography and satelliteimagery, and will learn how they can develop fully integrated spatial applications and solutionsin a wide variety of construction planning, decision, implementation, and management areas.Besides basic knowledge, in the senior level, students would be able to use GIS

GraduatesAbstractAccreditation of an educational program may result in benefits to the program, students, subjectprofession, and employers of program graduates. A principal benefit to employers is an abilityfor graduates of accredited engineering programs to pursue professional licensure. In theconstruction industry, professional licensure is not required and the benefit to constructionemployers is not as clear. Construction industry personnel were surveyed regarding theirperceptions of graduates from accredited construction education programs, specifically whethergraduates of an accredited program are preferred for employment and receive greater salaries, areassigned greater responsibility and are promoted at a greater rate, and possess greater technicaland/or

preventative measures, standards,and targeted training programs. This paper provides a project level analysis of the fatal fallaccidents in small building projects using Occupational Safety and Health Administration’saccident reports between 1998 and 2007. The analysis includes categorization of accidents basedon project size, type, and accident circumstances for each contactor type. The analysis identifieshigh risk activities for fall fatalities under different circumstances. This detailed project levelinformation provides a valuable educational tool for construction programs as well as a guide tostrategically target high risk areas through prevention, enforcement, and training.IntroductionConstruction is one of the largest and most dangerous
