All of the requisite materials – materials, equipment, tools, substructure and superstructure – must be reviewed thoroughly before the student can proceed. Once this evaluation is completed, the student may repeat the process after a two-week time period has passed. This two-week time interval can be tailored to any period. The purpose of this hiatus is to avoid the retention of the results the students have just received [9].B.

Informal discussionswith some selected students provided additional insights.Key findings indicated that future construction career role preferences were: (a) Project Manager(MPCRS = 8); (b) Superintendent (MPCRS = 7); (c) Real Estate Developer and Graduate Student(MPCRS = 6); and (d) Estimator / Inspector (MPCRS = 5). The reasons construction students gavefor preferring the project manager and superintendent roles included high salaries, opportunity tolead, love for authority, prior experiences, internships, role models, management skills, hands onwork, and working outdoors. The study showed that key reasons for students’ pursuit of a CMdegree included

Third, wasthere a relationship between the contractors’ risk premium for each identified risk and thecontractors’ percent of self-completed work?To answer the above mentioned research questions, data for this study was collected from twogroups of contractors. Group A included contractors who were presented a bid package withexculpatory clauses. Group B included contractors who were presented a bid package with aseparate list of identified risks. During the analysis of the developed data the following nullhypotheses were tested:Ho1: There was no relationship between the contractors’ risk premium for each identified risk andthe contractors years of experience.Ho2: There was no relationship between the

ladder. Question 1 asks the user to find the coordinates of twopoints A and B, which are the end points of a ladder against a building. When that question isanswered correctly, then solving for the distance between those two points (Question 2), asshown in Figure 4 (b), would be asked as to calculate the length of the ladder. Question 3, asshown in Figure 4(c), asks the inclination/slope of the ladder the worker must climb. If all thethree questions are answered then the student would be able to see an animation of the workerclimbing the ladder. However, if any of the three questions are incorrect or unanswered, then theworker will not climb the ladder, that means the player did not score all three points. a. Part 1 – Question 1

Direct measures included PIs thatare drawn from both the senior project and the coursework. Indirect measures include senior exitsurveys, alumni surveys, and IAC surveys. These tools will be discussed in further details inSections A and B, covering the assessment tools used for the PEOs, and then moving into detailingthe assessment measures for the SOs.

The study found that the population of thestudent body existed that had not experienced a natural disaster and were unaware of its impactseither on a personal or familial basis. Further, the majority of the responding students felt that theirmajor(s) and universities did not prepare them in terms of handling natural disasters and extremeweather events. Finally, a correlation was found between the location students live and a desire forknowledge about extreme weather events at

The results of the student internshipsactivity are analyzed to examine the changes associated with their previous internships beforeCOVID-19 versus their internship during the COVID-19 pandemic.
