Parson Construction Management Technology Location: Engineering Technology Building, Room 236 Telephone Contact: 801-626-7761 E-Mail: ParsonCMT@weber.edu Faculty: Associate Professors - Steven Peterson, Jeff Plant; Assistant Professors - Chris Soelberg, Rock Spencer I he Parson Construction Management Technology program teaches the processes, procedures and management techniques necessary to function as a "Professional Constructor" as defined by the American Institute of Constructors and the American Council of Construction Education. It is designed to prepare students for immediate professional level employment or further study by developing a cohesive, solid technical foundation bolstered by practical, hands-on experiences, at the same time providing the education necessary for lifelong learning in a changing world. The process of learning is emphasized, as well as accumulation of knowledge. The multi-disciplinary curriculum, comprised of courses in the areas of construction science, construction practice, business and management as well as general education, is in a candidate status for accreditation by the American Council of Construction Education (ACCE). The Parson Construction Management Technology curriculum is a "2+2" design facilitating articulation with programs in architecture, building construction, design graphics, facilities and other construction-related degrees .In this regard, articulation agreements have been developed with Salt Lake Community College's Associate Degree programs in Architectural Technology and Building Con- stmction/Construction Management. The partnership between the two schools will give construction management students more flexibility in earning WSU bachelor's degrees through the university's center at SLCC. Students who have obtained associate's degrees in appropriate high quality programs are admitted as juniors and can normally complete the baccalaureate degree in two years. 73 CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATE OF APPLIED SCIENCE DEGREE (A.A.S) » Grade Requirements: A grade of "C" or better in all CMT Program required courses (a grade of "C-" is not acceptable) in addition to an overall GPA for all courses of 2.00 or higher. » Credit Hour Requirements: 63 total credit hours are required as listed below. A minimum of 20 hours in residence at WSU is required. A student must also complete a minimum of 18 hours of CMT major courses at WSU to obtain an A.A.S. degree. » Assessment Requirements: Students will be required to complete certain assessment instruments as part of the overall requirements for receiving their associate's degree. Please see your advisor or your department for specific inf ormation regarding assessment. Advisement All Construction Management Technology students are encouraged to meet with a faculty advisor at the beginning of their freshman year for course and program advisement. Call the CMT program secretary at 801-626-7761 to schedule an appointment. Admission Requirements Declare your program of study (see page 18). There are no special admission or application requirements for this program. General Education Refer to pages 36-41 for Associate of Applied Science requirements.
