at Illinois State University. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 Learning Concrete in Construction Management Course Through Bowling Ball ProjectAbstractConstruction Management programs usually offer a Materials course which includes hands-onconcrete technology laboratory involving series of experiments (e.g., compressive strength,flexural strength) to obtain strength of concrete specimens. However, Materials course lackshands-on activity discussing concrete forming, and effect of mix design and ingredients on thefresh and hardened properties of concrete. In this study, a fiber-reinforced concrete bowling ballproject was implemented in a Construction Material

student’s point of view as it relates to satisfaction and a senseof belonging, particularly in engineering technology classrooms and labs.Purpose:This paper was derived from the observations of one construction management program in theMidwest that noticed an immediate need for change related to the way that their primaryclassroom and laboratory appeared and functioned. The educators aspire to improve thesefacilities in the best interests of faculty, students, and visitors alike. The authors of this paperoutline the observations which revealed the shortfalls, explain the exploratory steps which weresubsequently taken to identify the overarching problems that existed, highlight the ways in whichfunding and resources were obtained to improve the

, Construction curriculum, Faculty Externship. VDCIntroductionThe construction management curriculum is a blend of courses requiring hands-on laboratories,software tools, theoretical lectures, and deeper learning on project management tools. Thesetools and techniques constantly upgrade with newer technologies, computing breakthroughs, andintensifications. The American Council for Construction Education (ACCE) establishes studentlearning outcomes (slos) to standardize construction education at 2-year, 4-year, and master'sdegree programs at different institutions. While ACCE focuses more on the core concepts andtheories through its accreditation requirements, it is essential to understand that technologicaladvancements have been pivotal in managing
