practicals, that they be considered for adaptations in the education, the (interim) examinations
and the practicals. As far as possible the adaptations will be matched to their individual functional
limitation, but they may not change the quality or degree of difficulty of a course or the
examination programme. The facilities to be offered can consist of a form or duration of the
(interim) examinations and/or practical matching the individual situation or the provision of
practical aids (in Eindhoven University of Technology this request must be submitted to the
Education and Student Service Centre (Onderwijs en Studentservice Centrum)).

Appendix 2
Exit qualifications of the CME programme
2. Final attainment level (programme objectives) of the Masters programme
In this section we will describe the skills and knowledge of a graduate in ConstructionManagement & Engineering and provide an indication of his or her general academic level.
2.1 Domain-specific requirements
The domain-specific requirements as specified below are based on :
a. the needs of the construction industry as well as on the needs emerging from the
development of society and innovations as outlined in the Introduction to this document. Also,
with regard to this domain, an important characteristic of the development and application of
newly acquired knowledge is the fact that it has to be introduced in existing managing andengineering practices. In other words, students also have to become familiar with the
management of transition processes and organisational changes in the construction industry;
b. the domain-specific and internationally accepted qualifications as defined by the ABET
organisation (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology)
The domain specific requirements have been translated into final qualifications in which the
academic level of the programme is indicated as well. The Master of Science Construction
Management and Engineering:
1. has acquired the necessary engineering skills in the context of either civil engineering,
building engineering or complex site engineering (is able to work methodically, is able to inventhis own tools, adapt scientific theories and techniques, is able to work in a multidisciplinary
environment, is application-oriented);
2. is able to develop management processes based on management theory and technical
knowledge
This ability covers the knowledge and application of technical process management and
innovation regarding construction and engineering processes in the content-related subjects
mentioned above. The graduate can find his way in the development and implementation of
unfamiliar process configurations;
3. is able to manage complex assignments in a multidisciplinary team.
This ability covers the knowledge and application of the management of social interactions.The underlying objective of this ability is to find a balance between possible solutions of
complex requirements, technical possibilities, genuine interests of the parties involved and
justified value creation on the scientific and operational levels;
4. is able to translate technological concepts and developments into appropriate process
innovations for construction
8/6/2019 Ss09 English
19/27
3TU.
OER CME English 2009-2010 19
This ability covers the understanding of technical developments and of their implications for
process characteristics such as risks, costs, time, quality, stakeholders participation, value
creation, legislation;
5. is able to evaluate processes with respect to above mentioned process characteristics.
This ability means that the graduate is able to evaluate CME designs against the background
of a balance composed of possible solutions involving complex requirements, technical
possibilities, interests of parties involved and justified value creation on the scientific and
operational levels;
