Old class: Eric Showalter, associate teaching professor of civil, architectural and environmental engineering, has taught a construction management course called Cost Estimating and Scheduling for more than a decade. One semester-long assignment requires students to pick a construction site and keep a diary of everything that happens there — from weather conditions to which subcontractors are on site and what work is being done. It gets them in the habit of observing and writing, Showalter says.
