MO-CCI pro-actively helps its industry partners have an early on impact towards shaping the qualities of Missouri S&T graduates to hit the ground when joining their companies.
Using yearly surveys, MO-CCI identifies industry needs in their new hires to improve associated curriculum at Missouri S&T. Potential areas can include: enhanced reading of drawings; better understanding of specs; first-hand knowledge of how designs (civil, electrical, and mechanical) are actually constructed in the field; uses of visualization techniques in construction; learning early-on about the importance of flexibility towards travel and relocation in the construction industry; and improving different communication skills.
This effort also helps the member companies further develop the communication skills of their star performing professionals chosen to deliver such classes. Thus, it represents an optimal win/win situation for all stakeholders.
