      Conclusion

1. The basics of project management are taught in construction school.  More advanced notions on actual practices can be learned only through field experience.
2. Construction involves tremendous communication.  Meetings are very effective tools for certain communications.  Running effective meetings is vital to the success of a Project Manager.
3. Construction education, either undergraduate or Master’s level, does not produce experts.  Education teaches people how to learn and proves to others that graduates are capable of learning.  Field experience is actually part of the education process.
