INTRODUCTION

This recommended practice represents proposed curriculum for a master of science degree program with emphasis on cost engineering. The purpose of this document is to support post‐graduate education in cost engineering by providing the following:

• Guidance to faculty and students in the formulation of master's degree programs that will concentrate on cost engineering.
• A basis for course selection or self‐study where no such college program exists. The curriculum for this course of study is based upon the content of The Total Cost Management (TCM) Framework, and AACE recommended practice 11R‐88, Required Skills and Knowledge of Cost Engineering.
