| Abstract | The Construction Management (CM) curriculum reform process at Colorado State University is described through a review of the history of the program, the problems facing the program at the beginning of the reform, the process used to reform the curriculum, the results of this process, and the future of curriculum upgrades in this program. Curriculum reform on this campus resulted in a Departmental Core providing the foundational skills for three different majors. To that core, the CM program has structured upper division coursework in engineering science, general business, construction systems and techniques, and construction management practices. The need for the integration of CM programs with a broader discipline which provides a larger theoretical framework is also discussed. The curriculum reform process described here resulted in a stronger integration of this CM program with the larger discipline of technology management rather than the traditional association with the design disciplines of engineering and architecture. |
