Online survey instruments werecreated to circulate among construction students to a) evaluate the student learning experienceduring COVID-19 and b) identify student adaptation of content delivery during COVID-19. Thestudents’ perspectives are analyzed with the challenges faced by the students. The survey resultswill be used to assist faculty in identifying construction curriculum requirements based on thestudent's perceived ability to learn for any future move to online learning, either due to weather orillness.Keywords: Online Learning Environment (OLE), COVID-19 impact, Course managementsystem, Construction

underperformance and emphasis of researchover teaching. Yet, a tenured position is coveted and sought by many aspiring assistantprofessors in the US education system, and that includes faculty from civil engineering andconstruction disciplines.This paper aims to display the variability in perceptions of tenure requirements among assistantprofessors in civil and construction programs between universities of different researchactivities, and identify their perceived impediments towards obtaining tenure. The motivation forthis research is to bring to surface some of the concerns assistant professors have relating to thetenure process.Faculty from ACCE and ABET accredited programs in tenure-track positions were identifiedthrough an online search, and were
