It aims at charting a roadmap for the project to follow during its differentphases of development to secure timely completion. In most construction projects, anowner-approved schedule becomes one of the contract documents, and a way ofcommunication between the main project team members (Owner, Architect/Engineer,and General Contractor). Changes are one of the few

ProcessAbstractThe construction industry is a $4 trillion-a-year business that employs a significant number ofengineering students each year. Teaching engineering students about the construction processand building technology often involves traditional pedagogy (e.g., lectures, assignments, exams,etc.) with occasional visits to construction sites. Many times, these visits are met with sometrepidation from site contractors who may view them as an interference or interruption to normalsite operations. Instructors may also find site visits difficult to incorporate into the courseschedule due to logistical problems; e.g., travel to and from the site, and site work schedules.This paper describes an engineering course; presented by Linbeck Construction Inc., the

ofcontext, scope and multiple intelligences in construction engineering education.IntroductionEngineering achievements accomplished throughout history are examples of individuals strivingto solve problems that are often considered untenable at the time. These problems mayencompass the achievement of great heights in structures, or the ability to span great divides withnew bridge technology, or the ability to enhance transportation modes with multimodaltransportation. In each scenario, it is the engineer with the vision to integrate conflictingdemands into an elegant solution that is pivotal to the final outcome. The continued importanceof this ability to integrate multiple demands is the basis for the position in this paper thatengineering
