that for a student to do well in the capstone course, theymust have grounded knowledge in the lower-level courses including the three coursesdepicted. The design of core courses in the lower-level or upper-level is flawed whenthere are gaps in knowledge resulting in students’ inability to make the connection fromone level to the other.

accreditingagency for both 4-year bachelor’s degree programs and two-year associate degree programs inconstruction, construction science, construction management, and construction technology. [16]Currently, there are 72 four-year bachelor's, five master's, and 13 associate degree programsaccredited by ACCE [17].ACCE lists the following learning outcomes for the bachelor degree programs in section 3.1.5 ofthe Standards and Criteria for the Accreditation of Bachelor’s Degree Construction EducationPrograms (ACCE Document 103B) [18]: 1. Create written communications appropriate to the construction discipline. 2. Create oral presentations appropriate to the construction discipline. 3. Create a construction project safety plan. 4. Create construction

civil structures [1,11, 12]; (2) increasing engagement with core topics by moving from abstract to interactivelearning [7, 11, 13]; (3) introducing the engineering design process in a quick, easy, andvisible way [14, 15]; (4) bridging the physical and digital model within the classroom [7]; (5)integrating hands-on experience with digital work in a creative capstone project [7]. Thispaper aims to evaluate the feasibility of integrating laser scanning technology in theconstruction engineering management curriculum. The study conducted a thorough literaturereview to assess how laser scanning technology can improve SLOs required by ACCE. Thecontributions of the study involve (1) helping educators in construction engineering andmanagement programs

Additionally theauthors intend to incorporate a specific design task for the civil engineering majors, and an actualconstruction task for the construction engineering majors.This research is being implemented at the inception of a construction engineering degreeprogram with strong ties to a long-standing successful civil engineering degree program. Theseprograms combine the first 2 years of the degrees, and then bring the student back together for afinal semester culminating event that ties the programs together through a capstone project. Thestudents who participated in the original iteration of the module and game in 2018 are currentlyjuniors, and the

The result indicated that a) 90% of therespondents heard BIM and 71% of the respondents who knew BIM heard it at University, and b)most of the responded students had average and low levels of BIM familiarity and competency[10]. Suwal & Singh [11] focuses on students’ perception towards the implementation of BIMcourses. Their [11] findings suggest that online BIM learning platforms are highly rated bystudents as a positive learning experience, indicating the need for

-19: Student perspectivesAbstractThe paper examines students’ perspectives that impact the student learning activities’ transitiondue to COVID-19. The study seeks to determine how face-to-face or in-person teaching to non-traditional or online methods has affected the student, particularly in the construction program.Additionally, as construction courses typically include labs and capstone projects, it is essential todetermine how these courses were delivered as the programs transitioned to the online mediums.The research study compares content delivery before and during COVID-19. The survey questionsare used to determine the challenges students face in accessing the course management system,familiarizing themselves, and being satisfied with
