| dc.description.abstract | This study examines the establishment of the first construction science and
management degree program in Ontario. It illustrates the circumstances that led
the Ontario construction industry to recognize the need for such an undergraduate
degree program and to seek an educational institution as a partner in the planning,
development and establishment of the undergraduate program. The paper displays
how the industry faced obstacles such as a plan to regulate the industry by the
Ontario government and the lack of incoming construction management degreed
professionals from overseas. In addition, the paper displays the differences
between existing engineering technology diplomas and the new bachelor degree in
construction management and why the degree option will be beneficial to new
students as well as graduates of the engineering technology diploma program.
Finally, it displays how the Ontario construction industry leadership and
reactiveness was the major factor in the establishment of the program and how
industry participation and involvement is a key component in the success of
undergraduate degree programs in construction management. | en_US |
