This is not a reflection of SUU’s accreditation or quality, as each state and territory regulates their own education requirements for occupational licensure.

Program Learning Outcomes

Program Educational Objectives

Graduates of the Southern Utah University Construction Management program develop the technical, managerial, and communication skills required for professional success in the construction industry. Within a few years of graduation, alumni are expected to:

1. Apply technical skills to solve broadly-defined problems in construction project management from pre-design through commissioning, construction methods, site logistics, and project phasing;
2. Pursue advanced education in construction management or other related disciplines if desired;
3. Implement management skills to deliver a construction project that meets the owner’s expectations for quality, safety, schedule, and budget;
4. Apply financial and business principles to quantity take-offs, cost estimating, scheduling, sustainability analysis, and risk management;
5. Perform administrative and regulatory tasks including contract documentation, compliance, and dispute avoidance; and
6. Demonstrate effective leadership and communication skills when working with project stakeholders, labor, and subcontractors.

Student Learning Outcomes

The outcomes of the Construction Management program are those proposed by ABET. Each graduate will have at least:

1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve broadly-defined technical or scientific problems by applying knowledge of mathematics and science and/or technical topics to areas relevant to the discipline.
2. An ability to formulate or design a system, process, procedure or program to meet desired needs.
3. An ability to develop and conduct experiments or test hypotheses, analyze and interpret data, and use scientific judgment to draw conclusions.
4. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
5. An ability to understand ethical and professional responsibilities and the impact of technical and/or scientific solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
6. An ability to function effectively on teams that establish goals, plan tasks, meet deadlines, and analyze risk and uncertainty.
