- Abstract:
This research profiles, measures and ranks Associate Schools of Construction (ASC) publications as one way to create a system that would affect a C-school top-ranking solution. Past attempts highlight a peer-group evaluation process that is fraught with conflict between academic construction programs. This new methodology introduces a categorical ranking system that is end-user responsive. Although there are three potential end users of the ranking system (i.e., students, programs, and employers), these criteria will assist mainly the programs in cross C-school evaluation. The results provide two levels of rankings, 1) long-term and 2) current, calculated to affect selected equity weights that negate program size.
