Abstract
The ongoing improvement of teaching abilities among faculty is recognized as essential across various academic disciplines. Within the Construction Management and Engineering (CME) field, there's a notable need for such professional development. Our study looks into a specific program designed to bolster the teaching capacities of new faculty in foundational construction topics. The central aim was to understand the opinions of CME faculty regarding these development initiatives and their potential benefits. During the summer of 2022, we introduced the program to 15 early-career faculty members. These individuals participated in educational sessions led by experienced construction educators. To gather feedback, we collected personal reflections and insights from participants, aiming to understand their perceptions and the impact on their teaching and mentoring skills. The feedback highlighted areas for improvement in current CME teaching practices and affirmed the value of such development programs. This research provides guidance for those in CME looking to design educational tools to better prepare graduate students for academic roles.
