2. This exam is typically taken by students close to
graduating from a Construction Management
Degree and is a precursor to the Certified
Professional Constructor Exam.
Students are ranked nationally with other
Construction Programs.
Current areas of weakness:
Engineering Concepts (structures and soils)
Materials, Methods, and Project Visualization
* But above National Average in areas of safety and administration
3. Activity Learning Outcome

8. Continuing to Improve the Lab
Instructor’s Refection:
1. Using new lab equipment and new soils lab
area.
2. Refine rubric
3. Refine homework assignment to align better
with the hand-on lab assignment (include lab
reports).
4. Gap analysis to ensure AIC information is
covered
