I. ABSTRACT

The Department of Construction Management & Civil Engineering Technology (CMCE) of New York City College of Technology (NYCCT) proposes to offer a new Bachelor of Technology Degree (BTech) in Construction Engineering Technology. The proposed degree would articulate with our current Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree in Civil Engineering Technology and the AAS degree in Construction Management Technology in a 2+2 sequence. Currently, there is no Bachelor of Technology Degree in Construction Engineering Technology being offered within the City University of New York (CUNY) system. Articulation is also anticipated with other associate degree programs at City Tech, such as Architectural Technology, as well as programs from CUNY community colleges. The Department of Construction Management & Civil Engineering Technology has signed an articulation agreement with the Borough of Manhattan Community College where the AS degree in Engineering Science will articulate with the proposed BTech in Construction Engineering.

II. PURPOSE AND GOALS

A. Purpose The purpose of the BTech degree in Construction Engineering Technology is to expand and enhance our students’ expertise in construction management and civil engineering technology beyond the associate degree level. Building on the skills and knowledge acquired through the AAS degree programs, students who complete the BTech in Construction Engineering Technology will have comprehensive knowledge of field operations; the ability to employ sophisticated systems, tools, and software; and experience in interdisciplinary work environments.

Key features of the program include: 1. Advanced coursework in engineering technology analysis and design; 2. A broad background in current building codes and national construction safety standards; 3. In‐depth knowledge of sustainable and green design; 4. Introduction to quality assurance and risk management practices; 5. Experience utilizing sophisticated computer software in areas such as building information modeling (BIM),

global positioning systems (GPS), and geographic information systems (GIS); 6. Project‐based learning with real world applications in the senior capstone course; 7. Exposure to interdisciplinary work environments through shared coursework with the Architectural

Technology and Facilities Management departments

B. Rationale The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) publishes an annual Report Card on the nation’s infrastructure. Overall, our nation’s roads and bridges scored a “D”. ASCE reported that 42% of New York’s bridges are structurally deficient or functionally obsolete and 46% of New York’s major roads are in poor or mediocre condition.1 In response to new construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation of the region’s aging infrastructure, construction management professionals in the Metropolitan area will continue to be in high demand, particularly in the public sector.

With construction projects becoming increasingly schedule‐driven, complex, and cost conscious, employers are seeking individuals who are able to manage these challenges immediately and with minimal additional training. This is a marked change from the traditional career path in which individuals in the construction field would progress towards upper level construction management positions through on‐the‐job training. By earning a bachelor’s degree in Construction Engineering Technology, our graduates will meet these needs with a more advanced and comprehensive skill set as outlined above. Graduates of the proposed BTech degree will also be eligible to pursue master’s degrees in disciplines such as Real Estate Development, Construction Management, Civil Engineering, and Facilities Management. This will further advance their skill set and open up more career paths.

C. Goals

The primary goal of the proposed BTech degree is to provide a seamless path to an advanced degree for students who have completed the A.A.S. degree in either Construction Management or Civil Engineering Technology. This primary goal is supported by the following supporting goals:

Supporting Goals • Develop a broader and more technical skill set to meet employer needs • Provide additional training and certification to satisfy construction contracts • Offer an education that is accessible and affordable

III. NEED AND JUSTIFICATION

The proposed Bachelor of Technology (BTech) degree in Construction Engineering Technology will meet the needs of the students, college, and community and will also offer an advanced degree that will allow graduates to pursue a professional career in construction and engineering.

A. The Students

In addition to providing an upper division program for graduates of City Tech’s AAS programs in Construction Management and Civil Engineering Technology, the proposed BTech program will provide an opportunity for students with similar educational backgrounds both within NYCCT and outside institutions to earn an affordable bachelor degree. Crossover training will be available to students who are admitted from several City Tech programs including Architectural Technology, Environmental Technology, and Facilities Management Technology. At this time, there are few affordable options for our students to continue their education. Department research has indicated that only two programs in the Metropolitan area offer a bachelor’s degree in Construction Management (NYU‐Polytechnic University and Pratt Institute) and one program offers Construction Engineering Technology (New Jersey Institute of Technology). These programs offer courses only during the weekdays since their graduate programs are offered in the evening. A majority of our student population must work part‐time or full‐time during the week to support themselves and their families. The proposed BTech degree will provide an accessible means for our students to pursue an advanced degree.

Tuition and fees for the State University of New York (SUNY) schools total over $13,200 for commuters and nearly $42,000 for residential students. Local private institutions range from $27,000 to $39,000 per year for commuter students2. By comparison, CUNY senior college tuition and fees are approximately $5,500 per year, making the proposed BTech one of the most affordable options for students in the New York City area pursuing a bachelor degree in this field.

a. The College

Because students in Construction Management and Civil Engineering Technology currently have limited options to continue their education at NYCCT, a significant amount of students transfer to other institutions to continue their education. In the Fall 2011, twenty seven (27) students graduated from the program. Out of the twenty seven (27), six students (22%) continued on to a bachelor degree program. Of these, only one (1) student enrolled in the Facilities Management bachelor degree program at NYCCT, while the other five (5) graduates transferred to other institutions in the Metropolitan area.

b. The Community The proposed BTech degree will contribute to a variety of specific state needs and new regulation requirements for professional in this field.

2 Education institutions considered were NYU‐Polytechnic University, Pratt Institute, New Jersey Institute of Technology, SUNY Farmingdale, and Manhattan College.

i. Ailing Infrastructure

On January 4, 2012, N.Y.S. Governor Andrew M. Cuomo delivered his 2012 State of the State Address, outlining a new "Economic Blueprint" for New York State. The Governor proposes to construct the largest convention center in the nation in Queens, re‐develop the Jacob Javits site, and create the "New York Works Fund" to rebuild New York States Infrastructure. The "New York Works Fund" will support repair or replacement of more than 100 bridges, including the construction of a new Tappan Zee Bridge, repair 22,000 miles of roadways, upgrade 90 municipal water systems, make improvements to 48 state parks and historic sites and repair 114 flood control projects and dams. Additionally, Governor Cuomo proposes an "Energy Highway" System to ensure a reliable power supply, as well as making investments in solar and renewable energy. As a result, New York will see a surge in large‐scale and heavy construction projects. Examples of current long‐term construction projects in the New York City area alone are: the World Trade Center, the Second Avenue Subway, the JFK Airport expansion, the NYC DEP Water Tunnel Number Three and the Highline. Several of the new courses contained in the proposed BTech including the new CMCE 4700 "Heavy Construction Practices" course, will address the design and construction issues that are unique to heavy construction.

ii. Construction Codes and Regulations In July 2009, the New York City Construction Codes and Regulations were adopted. These codes and regulations had not seen a major overhaul since 1968. In response, the department will incorporate ARCH 3662 “Municipal Agencies and the Formal Approval Procedure” into the curriculum. Incorporation of this course will also promote an interdisciplinary learning experience with NYCCT’s architecture students. This type of experience reflects real world project delivery, as engineers and architects often collaborate on projects.

iii. Construction Safety and Health The United States Department of Labor regulates construction safety and health through the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Regulation Standards under “Safety and Health Standards for Construction” (29 CFR Part 1926). Through the proposed course, CMCE 4702 “Construction and Site Safety Management”, our department plans to offer OSHA Certification. This certification is often required by all construction personnel on a site thus making our graduates more marketable to future employers.

iv. Environmental Stewardship Clients are actively seeking designs that make their projects sustainable, intelligent, and integrated. Sustainable projects have become a priority in New York City, and many clients are hoping to obtain the coveted Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building certification. LEED is a third‐party certification program and the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. Along this line, both the University and the City have introduced sustainability initiatives, most notably Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s “PlaNYC 2030” which calls for an increase in sustainable design. The CMCE department has chosen an existing course, ARCH 2450 Sustainability through Architecture, offered by the Architectural Technology department to be included in the curriculum.

v. Integrated Technology Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an advanced application of computer aided drafting which enables architects, engineers, facility managers and contractors to work collaboratively and is fast becoming an industry standard. BIM simultaneously models building design, construction and management. CMCE 4473 Building Information Modeling (BIM) will expose students to this integrated approach.


4

CMCE 4410 Land Development & Design and CMCE 4422 Geographic Information Systems (GIS) will offer more sophisticated software that is being currently employed in the day‐to‐day design and management of construction projects. Both courses will build upon the more basic software packages used in CMCE 1322 Route Surveying and CMCE 2410 Construction Drawings III‐ Intermediate CAD.

vi. Legal Issues and Ethical Practice Due to the increasing complexity and resulting greater liability of construction projects, associate degree graduates often need additional training in legal matters and made more aware of their professional and ethical responsibilities. CMCE 4700 Construction Law will help students steer clear of professional liability issues.

c. A Professionally Oriented Program The proposed BTech degree will allow students to pursue a professional career in the Construction Engineering and related fields. Typical salary ranges for a graduate with a bachelor’s degree and less than one year of related experience ranges from $43,000 to $54,0003. Additional job opportunities and example job titles with a brief description are listed below Table 14.

Table 1: Sample Job Titles and Descriptions Job Title Description Construction Engineer

Graduates must have knowledge in all issues related to construction and design. They are responsible for monitoring costs and expenditures throughout projects. They must be highly trained and possess a technical education with a strong background in construction.

Construction Manager

Construction managers oversee all aspects of an entire building or construction project, so organizational skills are pertinent. With the help of an Assistant Manager, they maintain schedules, production outlines, and deadlines for multiple sites.

Contract Administrator

Due to the numerous documents and contracts that must be properly maintained before, during, and after the construction process, administrators are delegated the duties of preparing each piece accurately. They coordinate the ideas of owners, contractors, and designers into clear documents, so they must meet with each on a regular basis to ensure there are no discrepancies. They are also responsible for negotiating any specific details that need to be altered.

Estimator By using a combination of past experiences and project specifications, these associates accurately project the amount of materials, equipment, and man hours that must be utilized in order to complete a given project. Based upon these calculations, they create a project budget that is presented to owners. All necessary details must meet not only legal, but also company policies and guidelines.

Field Engineer

Responsible for daily inspections, field engineers ensure that plans are being properly executed. They are also required to monitor site progress to ensure schedules are being maintained. If problems arise, they need to have a thorough knowledge of concepts and procedures in order to quickly, and often times creatively, find a solution.

Quality Control Manger

Quality goods are an integral part of construction structures, and quality control managers assist with the creation of detailed standards that must be followed. They must have an immense knowledge of construction processes because they are generally called on to inspect many final products to ensure excellence. If failure is detected, they must be capable of advising on solutions.

Safety Director

A keen knowledge of all construction concepts is necessary for these associates. They direct safety programs in an attempt to reduce any hazards or injuries possible during and after the site’s construction. They design each program to meet strict laws and regulations, but often delegate the training responsibilities to others within their company.

d. Similar Programs

The City University of New York (CUNY) currently does not offer a BTech in Construction Engineering Technology. As a result, the proposed BTech degree will not overlap or duplicate any degree currently offered by CUNY. In addition, only NYU‐Polytechnic University and Pratt Institute offer a bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, and New Jersey Institute of Technology is the only program in the Metropolitan area that offers a Construction Engineering Technology bachelor’s degree.

B. STUDENTS

a. Interest/Demand A survey of 429 associate degree students conducted in Spring 2010 indicated that 77% would be interested in pursuing the proposed BTech degree in order to stay at NYCCT as opposed to transferring to another college or university. Students indicated that the quality of the faculty, affordability and evening class schedule were the main reasons that they would like to stay at NYCCT.

This leads us to conclude that students would prefer to complete their advanced degree at NYCCT. Those not currently pursuing advanced degrees may be hindered by the cost of tuition elsewhere or the lack of evening and weekend course offerings. The proposed BTech degree will offer an affordable tuition and convenient schedule.

b. Enrollment Projections Based upon the surveys conducted, comparisons with other related departments of similar size, and the trend for requiring a bachelors degree in order for graduates to obtain upper level construction management positions, projected student enrollment in the BTech degree for the next five years is shown in Table 2.

Table

1. The enrollment data is based on a Student Enrollment Survey taken of 424 students taken in the Spring 2010. Year I enrollment is based on 43% of the total student survey total (424 x .42 = 182). This was used as the starting or baseline number for the enrollment projections

2. The values shown above are based on estimates (FT versus PT) using the Spring 2011 Enrollment Statics for both the CM & CV programs: FT = 56% (Average CM + CV) PT = 44% (Average CM + CV)

3. City Tech data was used to estimate the increase in new students for the CMCE between the Fall 2010 and Spring 2010 semesters. Typical student enrollment increase ranged from 14% ‐ 18% (CM + CV). A 16% average was used to project the increase in enrollment in Year II.

4. A 75% retention rate was used to project the number students continuing in the B Tech program. 33% graduation rate was considered. 5. A 20 % rate was used to project the increase in B Tech enrollment in Year III, IV & V.

c. Admission Requirements

Students wishing to enter the Bachelor of Technology in Construction Engineering Technology program can enter the program in several ways. Students who enter the program as freshman must meet the College and University standards. Students applying for admission to a baccalaureate program are evaluated for admission according to a formula that considers preparation in high school English and mathematics, high school average, and College Preparatory Initiative units. Each college of The City University uses such a formula to identify students who currently have the ability to do baccalaureate level work. Additionally, all students must have demonstrated competency in reading, writing and mathematics in order to enroll in baccalaureate degree programs (refer to CUNY Testing information).

For admissions and advisement purposes, freshman baccalaureate applicants who graduated from high school within the previous academic year are also required to provide the University with scores for the SAT examination. The SAT requirement does not apply to students who completed their secondary instruction outside the United States, who are classified as ESL students or who graduated from high school more than one year before their application to the College.

Students who do not meet these guidelines maybe admitted into the AAS degree in either Civil Engineering Technology or Construction Management Technology and apply for transfer into the BTech program after achieving CUNY proficiency in reading, writing and mathematics. Students who enter the AAS degree in Civil Engineering Technology or Construction Management Technology in a 2 + 2 sequence must achieve a minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) of 2.5 for admittance to qualify for the B Tech program. Students may also enter from other programs either here at City Tech of from other colleges. It is not necessary to have earned an associate degree from these colleges. Transcripts of transfer students will be evaluated to determine the courses they must complete for the Bachelor of Technology degree in Construction Engineering Technology. The department has an articulation agreement with the Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC). Students from BMCC who complete the course requirements for the AS degree in Engineering Science will not be required to complete more than 63 credits for the Bachelor of Technology degree.

C. CURRICULUM

The proposed BTech degree will be open to both new and current students. The BTech degree requires the successful completion of 124 credits or 60 additional undergraduate credits beyond the associate degree level. The 2 + 2 requirements for students with an AAS degree in either Construction Management Technology or Civil Engineering Technology are shown in Figure 1 (Pathway). The requirements for the Bachelor of Technology in Construction Engineering Technology are shown in Tables 3 through 6.

The department sought the advice and feedback from our industry Advisory Board which includes professionals from the private and public sectors of civil engineering and construction management. The Advisory Board commented on course offerings and made recommendations concerning construction law and real estate development. Their input was incorporated into the following courses:

• CMCE 4700 Construction Law • CMCE 4415 Real Estate Development Fundamentals

Alumni and Employer Surveys are sent out periodically from the department to determine the level of satisfaction of our graduates and their employers. Their input regarding more advanced construction drawing skills and public works are reflected in the following courses:

• CMCE 4410 Land Development & Design • CMCE 3602 Heavy Construction Practices

The Department will seek accreditation from the Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET Inc. (TAC/ABET) for the Bachelor of Technology Degree in Construction Engineering Technology. ABET is the recognized accrediting body for college and university programs in applied science, computing, engineering, and technology. Currently, our Civil Engineering Technology Associate Degree is accredited by TAC ABET. The department will pursue accreditation of this program in conformance with the requirements of ABET.

c. Library and Instructional Materials In consultation with the NYCCT library staff, materials have been discussed and a listing of the materials is contained in Appendix F New Resources.

d. Budget Tables The department does not anticipate any capital budget expenditures for the first 5 years of the program.

5. INTERNAL EVALUATION AND OUTCOMES The Department of Construction Management and Civil Engineering Technology implemented a Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) plan in 2001. The CQI plan outlines the assessment, evaluation, frequency of evaluation, coordinators and actions taken to improve student learning to meet the program’s educational objectives. The educational objectives of the department are:

1. Be employed as engineering technicians, inspectors, assistant project managers or CADD operators, 6. Pursue advanced degrees in civil engineering and construction or facilities management, 7. Work towards obtaining professional licensure, and 8. Progress towards management or technical positions in the civil engineering and construction industries.

The department has adopted the student learning outcomes approved by ABET, Inc – the national accrediting body for technology and engineering programs. Our associate degree in Civil Engineering Technology is an ABET accredited program, and it is our plan to work towards the accreditation of the proposed bachelor of technology program. This process will begin by with an update of the CQI to include the ABET student learning outcomes for a bachelor of technology in construction engineering. The student learning outcomes are:


13

1. Producing and utilizing design, construction, and operations documents; 2. Performing economic analyses and cost estimates related to design, construction, and maintenance of systems

in the construction technical specialties; 3. Selecting appropriate construction materials and practices; 4. Applying principles of construction law and ethics; 5. Applying basic technical concepts to the solution of construction problems involving hydraulics and hydrology,

geotechnics, structures, construction scheduling and management, and construction safety; and 6. Performing standard analysis and design in at least one recognized technical specialty within construction

engineering technology that is appropriate to the goals of the program.

Once the CQI is updated, data will be collected, assessed and evaluated over a period of 3‐5 years. Actions will be taken to improve the program, and the department will submit an application to ABET for accreditation. This is the same process that is followed for our associate program. Some highlights from the CQI of actions taken to improve the student learning are:

• Feedback from the department’s Advisory Board (in 2007) indicated that employers are looking for improved communication skills. As a result, faculty incorporated more presentations, papers, and reports in courses. Faculty were also encouraged to emphasize grammar and spelling on all submitted student work.

• Student surveys beginning in 2007 revealed that more students were continuing their education to the bachelor level and would be interested in a program within the department if it were offered. This led to the proposal for bachelor of technology in construction engineering technology.

• In 2008, feedback from graduate surveys has revealed that software used in the classroom was outdated. This led to the incorporation of new software in that was more commonly used in industry in the CMCE 2315, 1210, 2410, and 2351 courses. In particular, the department modified the curriculum to CMCE 1210 and 2410 to progress students towards more advanced applications of computer aided design (CAD).

• In order to better measure student’s ability to conduct standard experiments in soil testing, the department incorporated the National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies (NICET) exam. This national, standardized exam gives students certification in soils testing and is used as a credential for employment. The first exam was offered by our department in May 2009.

January 12, 2012 Dr. Bonne August, PhD Provost New York City College of Technology of the City University of New York 300 Jay Street Brooklyn, NY 11201 Re: Letter of Support Dear Provost August:

On behalf of the ASCE Metropolitan Section, I am pleased to provide this letter of support for the proposed Bachelor of Technology degree in Construction Engineering Technology. The American Society of Civil Engineers is the leading professional association for Civil Engineers and Construction Managers in the world and is 1 of 31 member societies who determine the standards for ABET accreditation.

The Met Section is proud to support the creation of new programs that will help develop engineering and construction professionals in New York City and beyond. The proposed program in Construction Engineering Technology is much needed as it will provide additional educational opportunities for those students wishing to enter the fields of Construction Management and Civil Engineering.

Over the past several years, we have become very familiar with your Construction Management and Civil Engineering Technology programs through your students participation as a Met Section ASCE Student Chapter. We have always found New York City College of Technology to be a leader in the area of professional development of students. Your previous successes in training construction professionals in New York City will only be enhanced by the creation of this new program. The Met Section is excited to support your efforts.

Good luck in your efforts to bring this program online. We know that it will be a great success. If there is anything additional that you need or that the Met Section can do, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

Dr. Bonne August Provost New York City College of Technology of the City University of New York 300 Jay Street Brooklyn, New York 11201 Re: Letter of Support Dear Provost August: On behalf of City Polytechnic High School of Engineering, Architecture, and Technology (City Poly), I am pleased to provide this letter of support for the proposed Bachelor of Technology degree in Construction Engineering Technology. The mission of City Poly is to prepare students with the academic knowledge, technical skills, and real-world experiences they need to succeed in the 21st century global economy. As you know, our Early College High School curriculum allows students to complete both their academic and their career and technical education (CTE) high school requirements in just three years of study and then to move directly into your full-time associate’s degree program. Our partnership with City Tech and CUNY’s Early College Initiative is paving the way for our students’ smooth transition into college. During our four-year partnership with City Tech, we have worked closely and successfully with the chair and with several professors in Construction Management and Civil Engineering Technology. We have firsthand knowledge of the course of study in that department. We believe that the proposed bachelor’s degree program in Construction Engineering Technology is timely in that it will provide further educational opportunities for our own students who are starting at City Tech in the fall. A number of them would be far happier to start at City Tech if they knew that they could go straight through and earn a bachelor’s degree through this department. The proposed Bachelor of Technology Degree in Construction Engineering Technology will allow our students to continue their education at an affordable cost within CUNY and without worrying about transferring to another college or program. We are excited to support your efforts in creating this degree. City Poly strongly supports this proposal. If you need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

We are proud to support the creation of new programs that will help develop engineering and construction professionals in New York. The active professionals in the field of Construction have never had an opportunity, in the past, to acquire the type of degree that your program proposes. Future students wishing to enter the fields of Construction Management and Civil Engineering will be the direct beneficiaries of such a unique program

We, at M&J Engineering, support this proposal. If we can provide additional assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Program registration is based on standards in the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education. Section 52.1defines the curricula that must be registered. The Department registers individual curricula rather than the institution as a whole, but the registration process addresses major institutional elements. It is the chief means by which the Regents support the quality of college and university programs. Please enter the requested information about the proposed program.

1. Program Description and Purpose a) Provide a brief description of the program as it will appear in the institution’s catalog.

Answer: The Construction Engineering Technology program is the only program of its kind in the City University of New York (CUNY) system. Graduates of this program will have the necessary technical skills for careers in construction management; engineering, construction operations and/or maintenance of the built environment; and infrastructure. All facets of the construction process are studied, including construction materials and methods, management and building systems as well as all elements of structural design. Both the public and private sectors are studied from the time the project is conceptualized until it is turned over to an owner. The program combines an emphasis on construction management with the principles of engineering. This degree includes within its core of construction management courses important components of mathematics, physics and engineering to give the entry-level construction manager a variety of technical skills, including an understanding of basic structural analysis and design. Additional technical skills are developed as they relate to project layout (surveying) and materials testing, including training for The American Concrete Institute certification as Field Inspector (Level 1) of Fresh Concrete. Graduates will be able to specify project methods and materials, perform cost estimates and financial analyses and manage construction activities. They will be able to plan, design, inspect and direct projects involving residential, commercial and public works projects. Graduates of this program are prepared for immediate employment in every phase of construction and engineering. Most graduates will be hired by governmental agencies, consulting engineers, architects, contractors and developers. Occupational titles include: construction manager, construction engineer, superintendent, estimator, assistant project manager, field engineer, safety director, and inspector. The BTech in Construction Engineering Technology is designed as a 2+2 program where students may choose to first complete the two year Associates degree in either Civil Engineering Technology of Construction Management Technology. Upon completion of the AAS degree students can continue their formal education to earn the Bachelor of Technology in Construction Engineering Technology (CET) degree. Students from other departments within NYCCT and other institutions with related backgrounds would also be able to pursue the BTech degree

b) List educational and (if appropriate) career objectives. Answer: The educational objectives of the Bachelor of Technology in Construction Engineering Technology will prepare graduates with the technical skills necessary for careers in construction, operation and maintenance of the built environment, and global infrastructure. The department has adopted the student learning and career outcomes approved by ABET, Inc – the national accrediting body for technology and engineering programs. Graduates of this program will have demonstrated (as per ABET Criterion 9 for bachelor of technology programs in construction engineering technology):

1. producing and utilizing design, construction, and operations documents; 2. performing economic analyses and cost estimates related to design, construction, and maintenance of

systems in the construction technical specialties; 3. selecting appropriate construction materials and practices; 4. applying principles of construction law and ethics; 5. applying basic technical concepts to the solution of construction problems involving hydraulics and

hydrology, geotechnics, structures, construction scheduling and management, and construction safety; 6. performing standard analysis and design in at least one recognized technical specialty within

construction engineering technology that is appropriate to the goals of the program.

c) How does the program relate to the institution’s mission and/or master plan? Answer: The addition of this program stems from a response to regional economic needs; driven by the demand for construction management professionals and the availability of the program to students of all economic backgrounds. The proposed BTech degree will strengthen our current program by providing all of our students with access to an advanced degree and a gateway to their career and economic goals. The goals of the proposed BTech are parallel with those of the college in preparing a technically proficient workforce and well educated citizens.

d) Describe the role of faculty in the program’s design. Answer: The faculty was involved in developing the curriculum for all the courses in the program, including learning objectives, lesson plans, assignments and grading rubrics. Faculty was responsible for selecting all texts and references and developing courses compatible with programs at other institutions and in compliance with ABET standards. As practicing professionals and experts in their field, the faculty was able to incorporate current trends and new technology into each course.

e) Describe the input by external partners, if any (e.g., employers and institutions offering further education). Answer: The department has sought the advice and feedback from our industry Advisory Board which includes professionals from the private and public sectors of civil engineering and construction management. The Advisory Board recommended and commented on course offerings which reflect a broader and more technical skill set. Their feedback assisted the department in the development of the educational objectives for the program. Alumni and employer comments obtained from the Alumni and Employers Surveys were also considered.

f) What are the anticipated Year 1 through Year 5 enrollments? Answer: Based upon the surveys conducted, comparisons with other related departments of similar size, and the trend for requiring a bachelor’s degree in order for graduates to obtain upper level construction management positions, projected student enrollment in the BTech degree for the next five years is shown in Table 2 below.

Table 2 Sample Student Enrollment Table1

1. The enrollment data is based on a Student Enrollment Survey taken of 424 students taken in the Spring 2010. Year I enrollment is based on 43% of the total student survey total (424 x .42 = 182). This was used as the starting or baseline number for the enrollment projections

2. The values shown above are based on estimates (FT versus PT) using the Spring 2011 Enrollment Statics for both the CM & CV programs: FT = 56% (Average CM + CV) PT = 44% (Average CM + CV)

3. City Tech data was used to estimate the increase in new students for the CMCE between the Fall 2010 and Spring 2010 semesters. Typical student enrollment increase ranged from 14% ‐ 18% (CM + CV). A 16% average was used to project the increase in enrollment in Year II.

4. A 75% retention rate was used to project the number students continuing in the B Tech program. 33% graduation rate was considered. 5. A 20 % rate was used to project the increase in B Tech enrollment in Year III, IV & V.

6. Admissions a) List all program admission requirements (or note if identical to the institution’s admission

requirements).

Answer : Students wishing to enter the Bachelor of Construction Engineering Technology program can enter the program in several ways. Students, who enter the program as freshman, must meet the College requirements. The College has established the following minimal standards for direct admission of freshmen into baccalaureate programs. Students applying for admission to a baccalaureate program will be evaluated for admission according to a formula that considers preparation in high school English and mathematics, high school average, and College Preparatory Initiative units. Each college of The City University will use such a formula to identify students who currently have the ability to do baccalaureate level work. Additionally, all students must have demonstrated competency in reading, writing and mathematics in order to enroll in baccalaureate degree programs.

For admissions and advisement purposes, freshman applicants who graduated from high school within the previous academic year will also be required to provide the University with scores for the SAT examination. The SAT requirement does not apply to students who completed their secondary instruction outside the United States, who are classified as ESL students or who graduated from high school more than one year before their application to the College.

5

Students who do not meet these guidelines maybe admitted into the AAS degree in either Civil Engineering Technology or Construction Management Technology and apply for transfer into the BTech program after achieving CUNY proficiency in reading, writing and mathematics. Students who enter the AAS degree in Civil Engineering Technology or Construction Management Technology in a 2 + 2 sequence must have a minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) of 2.5 for admittance to the B Tech program. Students may also enter from other programs either here at City Tech of from other colleges. It is not necessary to have earned an associate degree from these colleges. Transcripts of transfer students will be evaluated to determine the courses they must complete for the Bachelor of Technology degree in Construction Engineering Technology. The department has an articulation agreement with the Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC). Students from BMCC who complete the course requirements for the AS degree in Engineering Science will not be required to complete more than 63 credits for the Bachelor of Technology degree.

b) Describe the process for evaluating exceptions to those requirements.

Items 10 through 12 are for general academic and professional licensure program proposals only.

10. Program Assessment and Improvement Summarize the plan for periodic evaluation of the new program, including the use of data to inform program improvement. Answer: The Department of Construction Management and Civil Engineering Technology implemented a Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) plan in 2001. The CQI plan outlines the assessment, evaluation, frequency of evaluation, coordinators and actions taken to improve student learning to meet the program’s educational objectives. The educational objectives of the department are:

1. Be employed as engineering technicians, inspectors, assistant project managers or CADD operators, 2. Pursue advanced degrees in civil engineering and construction or facilities management, 3. Work towards obtaining professional licensure, and 4. Progress towards management or technical positions in the civil engineering and construction industries.

The department has adopted the student learning outcomes approved by ABET, Inc – the national accrediting body for technology and engineering programs. Our associates degree in Civil Engineering Technology is an ABET accredited program, and it is our plan to work towards the accreditation of the proposed bachelor of technology program. This process will begin by with an update of the CQI to include the ABET student learning outcomes for a bachelor of technology in construction engineering. As previously stated, the student learning outcomes are:

1. producing and utilizing design, construction, and operations documents; 2. performing economic analyses and cost estimates related to design, construction, and maintenance of

systems in the construction technical specialties; 3. selecting appropriate construction materials and practices; 4. applying principles of construction law and ethics; 5. applying basic technical concepts to the solution of construction problems involving hydraulics and

hydrology, geotechnics, structures, construction scheduling and management, and construction safety; and

6. performing standard analysis and design in at least one recognized technical specialty within construction engineering technology that is appropriate to the goals of the program.

Once the CQI is updated, data will be collected, assessed and evaluated over a period of 3-5 years. Actions will be taken to improve the program, and the department will submit an application to ABET for accreditation. This is the same process that is followed for our associate program. Some highlights from the CQI of actions taken to improve the student learning are:

1. Feedback from the department’s Advisory Board (in 2007) indicated that employers are looking for improved communication skills. As a result, faculty incorporated more presentations, papers, and reports in courses. Faculty were also encouraged to emphasize grammar and spelling on all submitted student work.

2. Student surveys beginning in 2007 revealed that more students were continuing their education to the bachelor level and would be interested in a program within the department if it were offered. This led to the proposal for bachelor of technology in construction engineering technology.

3. In 2008, feedback from graduate surveys has revealed that software used in the classroom was outdated. This led to the incorporation of new software in that was more commonly used in industry in the CMCE 2315, 1210, 2410, and 2351 courses. In particular, the department modified the curriculum to CMCE 1210 and 2410 to progress students towards more advanced applications of computer aided design (CAD).

4. In order to better measure student’s ability to conduct standard experiments in soil testing, the department incorporated the National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies (NICET) exam. This national, standardized exam gives students certification in soils testing and is used as a

7

credential for employment. The first exam was offered by our department in May 2009.

11. New/Emerging Field and Allied Health Areas (Undergraduate Degree Programs) If the proposal for an undergraduate degree program falls into any of the following categories, submit a copy of an evaluation (Word) (PDF) of the program by a recognized expert in the field who has been approved in advance by the State Education Department. In addition, submit the institution’s response to the evaluation and highlight how the proposal was modified in response to the reviewer’s comments. Categories:

The program’s subject matter represents a new or emerging field. The program is in an allied health area, unless the institution can demonstrate that the program is

accredited by an accrediting body for college-level programs in the field.

12. Transfer to Baccalaureate Programs If the program will be promoted as preparing students for transfer to a baccalaureate program, provide a copy of an articulation agreement with at least one institution. Revised: January 21, 2012

Under certain circumstances, proposed programs may require amendment of the institution’s master plan and/or charter or certificate of incorporation, in addition to program registration. Master Plan Amendments Approval of a master plan amendment is required when the institution seeks initial authorization to award a degree; offers its first program at a new level of study; establishes a branch campus or inter-institutional program; or establishes at each degree level its first program in each of the 10 general disciplinary areas. Charter Amendments and Similar Authorizations The Board of Regents incorporates independent, not-for-profit colleges and universities by issuing a charter, which defines the institution’s legal authority and the location and scope of its programs of study and the degrees it may award. Charter amendments may be needed for such actions as initial authority to award degrees; new degree titles, including degrees at new levels; change of location or establishment of a branch campus; and operation beyond the specified limitations in the existing charter. A proposal for registration from a proprietary college may require amendment of the college’s certificate of incorporation on file with the Department of State. Such amendments require the consent of the Commissioner of Education. More information about charter amendments and similar authorizations is available online.
