Quality Improvement Plan
© Department of Construction Science and Management, Tuskegee University, September 27, 2016
Background and Overview The Construction Science and Management Program at Tuskegee University was founded in 1933 as a four- year degree program within the Department of Mechanical Industries. The name of the program has been changing over the times to meet the ever-changing demands of construction project clients and to reflect the common dynamics that are characteristic of construction projects and the overall construction industry. The program was originally called Building Contracting (1933-1940), Building Construction (1941-1970), Building Science and Building Construction (1971-1972), Industrial Technology and Building Science (1973), Industrial Technology and Building Technology (1974-1982), Construction (1983-1986), and Construction Science and Management (1987-present). Additionally, the curriculum of the program has changed considering its inception days when it used to focus on specific trades such as masonry, plumbing, brickmaking, to the present time where its recently revised curriculum (Fall 2015) focuses on producing all-round construction professionals while continuing to reinforce the founding policy of Tuskegee University―“Learning to do by doing.” The revised CSM curriculum provides professional training in construction project management. The coursework can be completed in four years and offers a wide variety of course offerings including construction methods, sustainability principles, surveying, project controls management, building information modeling, business, humanities, physical sciences, and general studies. Specifically, the four-year program in construction science and management produces “Project Ready” construction professionals who are managers of people, finance, time and physical resources, and who are knowledgeable of the standards of quality required of all trades employed during the construction process. The program has graduated over 600 students (1933-2016) and currently graduates about 10 students per semester on average. The program continues to improve in its core goals of providing best education and professional training to students as well as exceeding the overall goals of Tuskegee University. This is through a close review of its quality improvement plan. The quality improvement plan provides the assessment plan upon which the Department of Construction Science and Management (CSM) in the Taylor School of Architecture and Construction Science at Tuskegee University (TU) will operate to improve its academic excellence and professionalism. It will be reviewed periodically to ensure that the goals, vision and mission are being accomplished and improved. The plan aligns with the overall mission of the university as well as the new mission of the Taylor School of Architecture and Construction Science (TSACS). TSACS mission focuses on the four RE’s: re-newing best practices to recruit and retain stellar students, re-vitalizing multicultural and global understanding, re- branding the scholarly footprint of the school, and re-connecting professional collaborations with alumni and corporations to acquire support. The four strategies are to ensure that the school is well placed to compete and succeed in the ever-changing world. This quality improvement plan is organized into mission and vision, assessment tools and plan for the degree program, and assessment implementation plan for the degree program that also highlights the details of the strategic plan of the .program, performance criteria and measures of achievement of the degree program objectives, and the assessment implementation cycles.
Mission
Mission and Vision
The Construction Science and Management Department's mission is to produce “Project Ready” construction professionals who are managers of people, finance, time and physical resources, and who are knowledgeable of the standards of quality and safety requirements of all trades employed during the construction process.
Vision
The Construction Science and Management (CSM) Program is committed to perpetuating the founding policy of the University “Learning To Do By Doing” by creating a diverse learning environment for its students, faculty and staff through “Real World” industry experiences. The program will promote academic excellence and professionalism, provide industry relevant curriculum, advance faculty productivity and development, and recruit stellar CSM students, and increase research and recurring funding opportunities for the benefit of the program, school, university, and construction industry collectively.
Assessment Tools and Plan for the Degree Program
The Construction Science and Management Program has developed a comprehensive assessment plan to monitor performance and progress toward academic and non-academic goals as embodied in student learning outcomes, and the strategic plan goals and objectives. This plan was created with the intent of providing continuous evaluation and feedback in order to implement changes to the program relative to the vision, mission, and goals of the program. The assessment plan links the course learning objectives, the student learning outcomes and the program learning outcomes in a matrix that describes the instruments used, the frequency of administration, and the procedures for data collection (Table 9.1.1.3). Additionally, assessment tools used to measure the CSM program student learning outcomes can be found in the SLO Evaluation Summary (Appendix 3.1.4.10). the specific assessments tools used are included in Campus Lab – Compliance Assist – Planning Module via Electronic Guest Access. The tools are used for data collection and review based on the assessment cycle shown in Table 9.1.1.3 Assessment Implementation Plan. The SLO Evaluation spreadsheet tool is updated at the completion of each semester. The Campus Lab – Compliance Assist – Planning Module database is used continuously throughout the semester to gather data and for review at the end of the semester and at the spring semester faculty meeting and the fall semester CSM Industry- Advisory Board (CSM-IAB) meeting.
The assessment plan includes three main direct measures of assessment: D1 - ACCE SLO average in 1st
– 4th Year CSMT courses, D2 - capstone course, and D3 - AIC Associate Constructor (AC) Exam. All
courses are assessed; however, terminal assessments have been identified in courses that directly relate to the goals of the ACCE Outcome Based Standards. Indirect assessment measures include student course evaluations, senior exit surveys, alumni surveys, and co-op/internship evaluations. At the program level, assessment is measured by the capstone course that includes the AIC AC Exam, senior level student s exit surveys, alumni surveys, and employer surveys. At the course level, review of course folders, advisory council critique of courses, and student course evaluations are the primary means of assessment. The matrix given in Table 9.1.1.3 outlines the assessment process.
Student learning outcomes are evaluated by at least two assessment methods, using both direct and indirect assessment for each. Direct measure of SLOs is performed in the individual courses as outlined in the curriculum map (Appendix 3.1.4.8B) and in the AIC AC examination. Indirect measure of SLOs is performed in the senior exit survey, alumni survey and co-op/internship evaluations. The department head and faculty collect all the data for the degree program objectives. The curriculum committee, the department head, and the full faculty then review the data. Data for SLOs are collected every semester by faculty and the department head and entered into the database. They are then evaluated in accordance with the assessment implementation plan matrix (Table 9.1.1.3), undergraduate program measures, targets, and sequence of their collection (Table 9 . 1 . 3 . 5 ), and SLO Evaluation summary (Appendix 3.1.4.10).
Assessment Implementation Plan for the Degree Program The Assessment Implementation Plan for the CSM program is detailed in Table 9.1.1.3 and it links with the strategic plan of the program. A summary of the CSM program strategic plan goals and tactics for meeting the goals are shown below. CSM Strategic Plan Goals
Goal 1: Promote Academic Excellence and Professionalism Goal 2: Provide Industry Relevant Curriculum Goal 3: Promote Faculty Productivity and Development Goal 4: Recruitment of Stellar CSM Students Goal 5: Increase Research and Recurring Funding Opportunities CSM Strategic Plan Tactics 1.1 Expect 3.2 GPA for all CSMT Students 1.2 Expect 100% participation in Co-op/Internship Program 1.3 Expect 100% Job Placements prior to graduation 1.4 Provide Industry Certifications 1.5 Participation in Student Competitions 2.1 Establish Construction Industry Advisory Board 2.2 ACCE Accreditation 2017 2.3 Use of Technology 2.4 Facilities Planning and Development 2.5 National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) Accreditation 3.1 Encourage Faculty Development 3.2 Tenure Track Faculty 3.3 Course Evaluation 4.1 Active Student Recruitment 5.1 Research & Outreach 5.2 State Funding 5.3 Private Funding The systematic and sustained effort for fulfilling the mission of the degree program is outlined in the educational unit’s strategic plan. Evaluation of the programs objectives and learning outcomes are compared to the stated performance goals for each criterion to determine whether stated objectives and learning outcomes were achieved and if there is a validated need for improvement in any area.
In addition, the strategic plan process is focused on a sustained effort primarily by active involvement of faculty and staff in the planning, review, and execution of the strategic plan through the continuous review of goals and measures in the ongoing assessment cycle. The strategic plan may be reviewed and updated annually by the CSM faculty and CSM-IAB.

Assessment Implementation Cycle
The CSM program conducts a continuous and comprehensive assessment of its academic and non- academic performance on an annual basis. Student learning outcomes are assessed through assignments or exam questions in each course, and the results are reported and tracked on the SLO Evaluation Summary (Appendix 3.1.4.10).
The SLO Evaluation Summary will summarize the direct assessment of the 20 SLOs. The faculty has established a target of 70% of all students scoring 80% or greater (70% or passing on AIC AC Exam) on the tools used to assess SLO. Failure to meet a m a r k e d i m p r o v e m e n t f r o m evaluations of the degree program objectives and learning compared to the stated performance criteria over two evaluation cycles (2 academic years) triggers an action by the faculty to review the teaching methodology and make changes aimed at improving student learning.
The results and outcomes of assessments are documented using the assessment tools. Evaluation of the degree program objectives and learning outcomes are being compared to the stated performance criteria to determine whether stated objectives and learning outcomes were achieved and if there is a validated need for improvement in any area. Table 9.1.4.2 shows due dates for data collection, comparison with targets, suggested changes, and implementation of the suggested changes.
