continuing and evolving process for constructioncurriculum improvement.Key Words: Construction, Curriculum Improvement, Assessment, StudentIntroductionFrom its beginnings, construction education in this country focused strongly on practice. Theexpansion of world economy mainly in India and China accelerated construction workssignificantly and gave opportunities for the greater advances. Post-expansion industriesflourished, creating demand for contractors and engineers that exceeded the supply. Newly-minted engineering and technology Ph.D.’s joined the ranks of academia without much industryexperience and perpetuated the research emphasis on campuses for the last ten years. While thisresearch has contributed immeasurably to our technological

happened during SAGE and reflects onwhat must be improved upon.IntroductionThe underrepresentation of minority students in science, technology, engineering andmathematics (hereafter STEM) has been an enduring crisis in U.S. education. Decrying suchinequity, efforts increased from the late 1960’s and early 1970’s to educate and train minoritystudents in the technical fields. To that end, one would be hard pressed to find a higher educationinstitution that had not developed some sort of program to support minority students’ STEMparticipation1. Though the rate at which students seek to study STEM is increasingly comparableby race/ethnicity, the rate of students graduating with STEM degrees is still disparate2 3 4.

Supplemental instruction isa method that was developed at the University of Missouri-Kansas City in the mid-1970’s byDeanna Martin5. Originally, it was designed for a medical school program, and was successful inimproving course grades and retention. However, today, it is used across several universityprograms, although it has not been widely researched within the engineering community.Facilitated study groups are designed to enhance students’ understanding of course material, andprovide them with skill

For example, each exam question clearly stated the concept beingtested in that question, and to what extent that question addresses the CLO(s) and how itmaps the PO(s). Students were informed where this information will be used. The statedCLO(s) is/are assumed to be satisfied based on their achieving a certain grade on thatquestion. This is repeated for all assessment tools used in this course, particularly for thefinal project, in which the students used math and CAE tools to a great extent. At first, itlooks like
