Abstract/Summary
The ASC Region 7 Commercial competition is one of the largest and most popular student competition in the country. Students from some of the most prestigious construction management and construction engineering schools compete in a rigorous eighteen hour competition. These teams have around 6 months to prepare for the competition. Their preparation methods have a significant impact on how they place in the competition. The amount of time spent with the teams industry sponsor, number of practice problems completed, hours spent practicing, number of team bonding events, and many other factors contribute to the team’s success. Many of the schools that compete have never placed in the top three. There is a clear relationship between the mentioned factors and whether the team places in the top 3. The main idea is that there is a best practices method that every team should follow when preparing for the competition to give their team the best chances at placing.
