Since joining the Wentworth Institute of Technology in 1989, Hasso has instructed hundreds of future construction leaders.

If the construction industry正在寻找下一代领导者,马克·哈索(Mark Hasso)博士在波士顿理工学院的班级之一将是开始搜索的好地方。Hasso是一名30年的行业专业人员,他于1989年加入Wentworth的建筑建筑管理(BCM)计划,并在1989年担任教授,他帮助制定了该国最动手的学术课程之一,使课堂成为学生的虚拟工作。

Hasso在阐述他的教学理念时解释说,允许在学术环境中的学生了解如何在现场应用实践使主题对未来的专业人员更加相关和吸引力。他补充说:“当是时候自己加入它的时候,他们还可以更好地与现实的建筑世界联系起来,使他们准备承担管理职位和责任。”

Hasso曾担任1990年代后期至2012年的BCM计划主管,他围绕该计划的高级课程,负责研究实际和模拟项目的跨学科方面:从概念到提案开发以及从绩效条款到定价。新利18备用网址新利18备用成绩通常是基于行业专业人士的批评,他们经常访问教室以进行演讲和主持讨论。

Hasso的课程还强调成为建筑专业人士的其他关键方面,包括时间管理,团队领导,继续教育和行业参与。他鼓励学生从美国建筑管理协会获得认证,这是他与他密切相关的二十年来。

Hasso说,几乎每位Wentworth BCM学生都在首次尝试中参加CMAA的建筑经理进行培训考试。他经常将学生带到地区和民族会议上。

尽管该计划在最近的经济衰退期间的入学人数下降,但它预计今年将毕业80新利18备用名学生,并在秋季欢迎130名新移民。他说:“我们的应用程序之所以提高,是因为学生再次将施工视为一个很好的领域。”他指出,总体上约有380名学生,该计划与500名入学者的目标不远。新利18备用

系统的成功远远超出这些数字,亚柯rding to Paul Hemphill, a vice president of construction services at Boston-based City Point Partners who has worked with and hired many of the educator's former students. "Mark brings a real-world atmosphere that makes a difference with students because they're not just learning, they're having fun," he says.

Leslie Becker, a 1993 Wentworth graduate who now is Connecticut operations manager for Keville Enterprises, Marshfield, Mass., agrees. "Rather than sitting in a classroom reading information out of a book you might not need later, Dr. Hasso brought us into the mix of things and showed us how they work," she says. "The group work we did in classes is exactly what I do now."

Passion for Industry and Instruction

Hasso's teaching philosophy was honed during a career that included structural design and construction management for a variety of institutional, commercial and municipal infrastructure projects in the U.S. and overseas. After teaching occasional courses at various New England colleges, he joined the faculty of Wentworth so that he could devote more time to education while still maintaining his professional practice.

One of Hasso's priorities upon becoming BCM program director was to expand what was a four-member advisory board into a larger, more diverse group that more accurately represents the multidisciplinary nature of major construction projects. Along with members from leading regional construction management companies such as Turner, Perini, and Bond Brothers, the advisory board also recruited public- and private-sector owners, trade subcontractors, attorneys and representatives from insurance companies and technology firms.

Hasso表示,扩展的顾问委员会提供了广泛的主题指导,指导,网络和就业机会,但也提高了该计划的奖学金资源,使更多的学生(尤其是女性)可以访问它。Hasso估计每年有8至10名女性毕业。
