                    For CNST 4900,

                          Objective – Ensure that Capstone projects are properly evaluated.

                          Initiated By–This plan is presented in response to Outcomes

                Assessment data and discussions from Fall 2006, made available at the

                Fall 2006  CNST Kick-off Meeting, which suggests that industry panels may

                not understand how to properly evaluate each section of Capstone project.

                          

                           Time Frame – This plan was implemented on or before the next offering

                of this course, which was in Spring Semester 2007.

                           Specific Implementation Method – A weighting system shall be established

                which will be distributed to the Capstone panelists.  This weighting system

                will assign a value to each of the sections of the Capstone project based on

                the importance of that section or aspect of the project.  A draft of

                the weighting system will be circulated to CM faculty to ensure consensus

                on the values.  The syllabus and/or handbook will also be changed to reflect

                this weighting system.

                           For CM 4800,

                                        Updated scenarios that the students worked on based on more recent issues.

                                        Added scenario on construction safety based on actual accidents reported by

                        the students on their project sites.

                                        Included new lectures for preparing the students for CM 4900 which follows

                        this course.

                                        Some new measureable course outcomes may be added to the syllabus.
