tional convention, The team
was expected to estimate a
schedule for construction and
bid for theopportunity to build
a 100-unit townhousecomplex
on 7.7 acres.
In a held of national com¬
petitors me CSUF team placed
second, while BYU placed first.
The field of teams included
Virginia Tech, Texas A&M,
Colorado State, and Purdue.
In the more recent competi¬
tion, sponsored by the Associ¬
ated Schools of Construction,
C§UFstudentsKeiu\Andrade,
Don pain, Allison Brandt, Ron
Mann, Michael Nelson and
Jennifer Renna captured first
place after role-playing as a
developing firm that was re¬
sponsible for creating the most
profitable and environmen¬
tally feasible project for a spe¬
cific plot of land.
According to Brandt, within
a twenty-four hour period of
time, the team was to evaluate
their options, prepare a writ¬
ten report, and then orally
present their report to a panel
t>f judges. The judges were rep¬
resenting the city planning
commission and members of
the financial community.
The written report that was
prepared by the team for the
judges was nearly thirty pages
in length. All of the informa¬
tion that the team was to util¬
ize and refer to was compiled
within those twenty-four
hours.
The coach of the team is
Dave Leue, an instructor here
at CSUF. His input in the ac¬
tual competition is minimal.
Once the competition begins,
he acts merely as a logistical
force, attaining materials and
food for the team; however,
his coaching takes place over
the months prior to the event.
"The students on the team
put in four of five months at
weekly meetings, preparing
themselves, engaging in
weekly speech preparations,
and discussing sample proj¬
ects that they may have to
consider," Leue stated.
Leue went on to indicate
that CSUF has a nationally
recognized construction man^
agement department, despite
the fact, that the discipline is
only 20 years old. Each of the
two competitions that CSUF
competed in are "Invitation

Only" events.
Even though CSUF placed
second in the earlier NAHB
competition, k was the first,
time that a team from CSUF
had particpated.
Leue said participation in
such competitions aredifficult
if the events are regionally
located. The funding that is
required to get a team to such
an event is primarily received
from outside sources or
through fundraisers that the
team members directly engage
in.
However, the benefits that
the team members receive are
immeasurable.
When questioned about the
competition's impact, Brandt
replied, "This is the best expe¬
rience that I've had. The com¬
petition incorporates every
class that I've taken in my four
years as a construction man¬
agement student into one
learning experience."
Brandt and Renna.were the
only two women involved in
the NAHB competition, which
included 18 teams from across
America.
According to Leue, these
competitions represent real-
life situations that graduating
construction management
students face, and are quite
possibly the most important
learning tool that CSUF stu¬
dents are given the opportu¬
nity to work with.
Graduating senior Andrade
felt that the competitions were
vital to his education, not only
for their content, but also for
the interaction of the team.
Says Andrade, "I've never
worked so closely with a team
in my life."
