Recent surveys showed that university level BIM education of the architecture,engineering, and construction programs in the United States increased dramatically in the pastseveral years. Structuring a course that would properly address the learning needs of studentswith different levels of technology skills and construction experience is a considerable challenge.This paper presents the

tools in manyaspects of the construction industry. Advances in battery technology with lithium polymer haveyielded flight times that are comparable to or exceed those offered by conventionally-fueledunits. Gas engines or turbines tend to require more adjustment, more maintenance and are noisyin operation. This operational noise unless counterbalanced out by construction equipmentoperations can be distracting to those on the jobsite. Requirements for care and maintenancewith engine or turbine units increase costs. Because of these considerations with fueled units,the industry with smaller units is moving to battery power.Costs And ChoicesGenerally contractors will want to spend from a few hundred dollars to several thousands ofdollars on UAVs

construction training self-efficacywas significantly lower (p = 0.033) for females than males. Females also reported a more internallocus of control and lower level of motivation towards construction education than malestudents; however, the differences were not statistically significant (α = 0.05).Results suggest that female students were less confident in their abilities regarding constructioneducation and were more likely to express an internal locus of control. A low levels of self-efficacy has been linked in previous research to poor performance and low retention amongfemale students in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) programs. Resultsunderscore the need for strategies that boost construction education-specific self-efficacy
