Construction Management Takes First
Construction management's heavy civil team took first place
at the national competition of the Associated Schools of Construction
held in Dallas, in April 2003. The competing teams were assigned
a construction problem, which consisted of building two freeway
frontage roads, including asphalt paving, grading, and two
structural concrete bridges. The students were allowed 16
hours to produce a cost estimate, construction schedule, budget,
cash flow analysis, and concrete formwork design. Each team
presented a 25-minute project overview and fielded questions.
Construction management professors Rich Holman
and Matt Byrne are the team's advisers. "This
year's team was the epitome of teamwork," says Holman. "They
possessed the skills, experience, and ability to thrive as
a team." The students won first place in heavy civil projects
at the regional competition in Reno, Nevada, in February 2003,
which assured their place in national competition. The
Department of Construction Management has about 400 majors,
and its graduates are consistently heavily recruited. Above
