Construction Management ABET Outcomes

The mission of the construction management program is to build on a foundation of engaged learning that fosters integrity, creativity, and scholarly work. Success is measured by learners who leave professionally prepared to build better communities through service, leadership, and lifelong learning. Shortly after graduation, alumni of the program are expected to:

  • Manage several aspects of complex construction projects such as budgets, schedules, safety, or traditional on-site management duties (materials, labor, subcontractors, equipment, etc.).

  • Collaborate effectively in project teams by demonstrating leadership, conflict resolution, and personnel management skills.

  • Communicate clearly and professionally using verbal, written, and graphical methods intended for business and construction projects.
