Traditional engineering decision support systems (EDSS) cannot be well applied in the practice of construction management due to their inherent limitations in knowledge acquisition. In this paper, a new approach named DMDS is proposed, which integrates data mining technologies with decision support systems. DMDS aims to automatically extract knowledge from a large amount of historic data genera...

Andrew T. Rose, University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown, 225 Engineering and Science Building, Johnstown, PA 15904, [email protected] Abstract – Remaining “current” in one’s field is a requirement for promotion and tenure in engineering and engineering technology faculty positions. Technology and engineering, however, are changing at an ever-increasing pace. In the next century, engineering educa...
