STARKVILLE, Miss.—Mississippi State Associate Professor Saeed Rokooei is the newly elected secretary of the American Council for Construction Education’s Board of Trustees, the governing body of one of the world’s most prestigious advocates of quality construction education.
Rokooei, in his 10th year of teaching at MSU, serves as Department of Building Construction Science graduate coordinator and faculty fellow in the College of Architecture, Art and Design.
“I am honored to have earned the trust of representatives from construction-related departments and the industry to serve as an officer and member of the Board of Trustees,” he said. “While this role offers a meaningful way to serve the broader community, I also view it as an invaluable opportunity to represent MSU within the ACCE.”
Rokooei earned his bachelor’s degree in architecture and master’s degree in construction and project management from Shahid Beheshti University, master’s degree in management information systems from the University of Nebraska at Omaha and doctorate in engineering from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
The MSU Department of Building Construction Science is accredited by the ACCE, and its new Master of Science in construction management is in the process of preparing its ACCE accreditation documents.
Mississippi State University is taking care of what matters.
