  • Abstract:
    In order to ensure that graduate‐level construction engineering project‐management education programs best serve the needs of the construction industry, it is deemed essential that a continuing dialogue between university professors and practitioners be maintained. Based upon three surveys conducted among the top 400 contractors as listed by ENR 1978, 1982, and 1984, six‐year trends in educational needs are covered. They represent the shifting in the priorities among graduate courses and show the reflection of the evaluation of construction management in the USA. Construction industry expectations should be translated at the university level into a variety of new regular courses offered by various programs in the country. Short courses for practitioners should be offered by both universities or professional societies to complement their college education.
