ABET PEV Volunteer

Purpose, goals, and desired outcomes:
To help ensure that undergraduate construction management programs effectively prepare students to enter the industry, CMAA needs the academic and experience-driven evaluations of professional CMs to assess academic programs seeking ABET accreditation.

Duration:
The training you receive will be valid for three years, during which you may be asked to make a program visit.

Time commitment:
PEV in-person training occurs upon acceptance as a PEV in the spring for two days. If chosen to make a visit, the time commitment is about 6-9 days extended over July-November.

Eligibility: 
CM Practitioner PEV applicants must be currently certified CCMs or be a member of the College of Fellows. Academic PEV applicants must have a formal education up to the master’s degree level (Ph.D. preferred) and hold an associate or professor rank at their institution with at least 10 years of experience.

Requirements:
Complete online training (12-20 hours) and face-to-face training (1.5 days) through ABET.

Key success measurements:
The Team Chair of a visit will provide feedback through ABET regarding knowledgeability and performance and make recommendations about making future visits or becoming a future Team Chair.
