Method for Planning Graduate Programs in Construction Management

“…In the field of construction management, the authors previously proposed and developed a theoretical model (Pellicer et al 2009, Yepes et al 2012, which is briefly explained in the next section and will be applied later in the study.…”

“…First, each academic program must facilitate not only online access to its curriculum, but the information must also be understandable and include a detailed inventory of the courses, their credits (or relative weights), and their descriptors. An in-depth explanation of this exploratory study can be found in Yepes et al (2012). It is important to note that the selected set of programs does not affect the method; it would not change with another set of programs using other selection criteria.…”

“…A conceptual model, initially introduced in Pellicer et al (2009) and fully developed in Yepes et al (2012), is used here as a basic framework (Fig. 3); these authors conceived the model as a two dimensional matrix, named Management and Administration in Construction (abbreviated herein as MAC 2 ).…”

“…In this paper and for illustrative purpose, the method proposed herein is applied to construction management at the graduate level (M.Sc. degrees), based on previous work pursued by the authors (Yepes et al 2012). …”

“…Jain et al (2010) implemented a business process reengineering method (Hammer and Champy 1993). More recently, Yepes et al (2012) devised a tool to benchmark graduate programs, and applied it to a sample of M.Sc. degrees in construction management.…”
