Whenever you’re up to something important — be it the final interview round or a meeting with your boyfriend’s Nana — you want to make a great impression. In other words: You want to present a certain version of yourself: More likable, friendly, or professional, depending on the context. And that’s what impression management is all about.

What is Impression Management?

Self-presentation, also called impression management, is our conscious and unconscious efforts to shape how others perceive us. We often adjust our behaviors, based on the social context and the people we’re around, to appear our “better selves”.

The Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) trades make up a significant portion of a construction project’s budget, and MEP scope continues to grow in complexity and size as we get further into the 21st century. Depending on the type of project, the MEP scope can account for upwards of a third of an overall project’s budget. With that in mind, along with feedback from our industry partners, the Construction Management Program at Ferris State University saw a need to increase the amount of MEP content that was being taught in our construction technology and management degree programs.

After an in-depth curriculum review, two new courses that combine both lecture and lab components were added to the program to address the importance of the MEP trades; Electrical Construction Practices and Mechanical Construction Practices. Students have the opportunity to learn about mechanical and electrical systems, major types of materials and equipment, construction documents, installation techniques, relevant codes, and the testing and commissioning of these systems.…
