Cal Poly’s New Series of Design-Build ‘Boot Camps’ a Success
SAN LUIS OBISPO – The California Center for Construction Education at Cal Poly and the Design-Build Institute of America recently hosted the first Design-Build Professional Designation Boot Camp, May 8-12.
The boot camps were designed to speed up the certification process for professional design-build designation, which typically requires individuals to travel to various U.S. cities to complete core courses over several months, or even years.The design-build method is the interdisciplinary collaboration of design and construction, with architects, engineers and builders working together from conceptualization through final construction.The boot camp takes place over one week at a single location and includes three required core design-build courses, an exam prep course, and the design-build professional designation exam.Two more boot camps are planned for later this summer. The Aug. 6-12 session is full; however space is still available for the Sept. 10-16 program. Construction management Professor Barbara Jackson is the director of the CCCE and leads the camps. Jackson was honored last year with the Design-Build Institute of America’s Distinguished Service Award for going "above and beyond the call of duty" to promote design-build practices and the DBIA.
The CCCE is made possible through a grant from the Charles Pankow Foundation. For more information contact Tana Anastasia in Cal Poly’s Construction Management Department at (805) 756-6381 or ganastas@calpoly.edu.
