. However, incorporating asimulator requires a substantial capital investment and consideration should be given to otherpedagogical techniques that may be used to achieve the learning objective, the financial positionof the program, and whether the simulator could serve other functions, such as a recruiting toolto generate interest in construction education.1 Caterpillar Equipment Training Solutions – Virtual Training Systems, (2008), Caterpillar, Inc., Peoria IL.2 Schneider, M., and S.

orders, CAT = category ofinfrastructure construction project, β1 = a constant indicating how the time performance isaffected by the size of the construction project measured by its cost, β2 = a constant indicatinghow the time performance is affected by a variation in number of change orders, and β3 = aconstant indicating how the time performance is affected by a variation in category.A multiple linear regression was used to analyze the data. For statistical analysis, Bromilow etal.’s 1 model was rewritten in the natural logarithmic form as follows:LnTIME = LnK + δ1LnCOST + δ2LnCO + δ3LnCAT (3)where LnTIME = natural logarithm of time, LnK = natural logarithm of K, LnCOST = naturallogarithm of cost

In particular, it enables students to integrate environmentalconsiderations into economic decision-making. As a result it is imperative that academics inengineering, construction, education, and other disciplines heed the call for sustainabletechnologies, policies, and practices. Although since the early 1990’s many environmental andprofessional organizations such as the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and accreditingagencies such as the American Council for Construction Education (ACCE) and the NationalArchitectural Accreditation Board (NAAB) have appealed to universities to provide educationfor sustainable development and encouraging students to be

Finally, they are required to level and plumb theentire system, so that it would be ready for a concrete pour.The students also perform similar tasks for a round column and a square column. The roundcolumn uses a sonotube as its formwork and the square column uses plywood, 2x4’s and columnclamps. The students also locate an anchor bolt template on the top of each column, as if a steel Page 14.703.5beam were going to be anchored to the tops of the columns.Grading of Laboratory ExperiencesThe laboratory portion of the class is graded based on
