to gain inspiration for a future design oras an initial step in revising a prior design for improvement. However, in construction, site andcode constraints make this practice less common, although it can be argued that constructionrenovation projects must fully research and document the existing design before proposingchanges to it. Nonetheless, terminology can become an obstacle in a multidisciplinary setting.Another difference between sectors is in how design methods are applied. At a high level,construction projects tend to be very similar, i.e. in the design of a building, foundations, floors,walls and roofs are all present. However, at a detailed level, construction projects all essentiallyunique, owing to differences in local soil

He also received a Fulbright Scholar award to share state-of-the-art best value research and practices with the people of Botswana, Africa. Dean’s groundbreaking procure- ment model became a graduate program that was practiced at ASU and instrumental in the investment of $100 million in the institution for outsourcing food services. A powerful force in the Greater Phoenix Metropolitan area and Arizona State University, as well as national and international, he has championed programs to advance the engineering profession, and continues to prepare the next generation of

The professionals in construction need to get involved personally, understand theirplace in society, and become more responsible for their actions12.Methodology, Findings and AnalysisThis paper presents an example of a term paper written by a graduate student.The study first investigates on different delivery methods. The advantages of all the deliverymethods, according to the previous researchers, are presented in Figure 1. It shows the majorstages of project delivery such as: Design Phase, Construction Phase, Operation/MaintenancePhase, and the Demolition Phase. Each phase is outlined with the basic principles that need

The answers to these four questions provide theplatform for curriculum mapping and efforts leading to continuous improvement.Keywords: Curriculum design, Curriculum mapping, Student learning outcomes, Programlearning outcomes.What is curriculum mappingCurriculum mapping as defined by Koppang (2004) is a method of collecting data about what is reallybeing taught in schools and universities. Hale (2008) states that while curriculum mapping is recognizedas a highly effective method for serving students' ongoing instructional needs and creating systemicchange, the means for putting this data-based decision-making process into practice may

Their pragmatic preparation would be orientated to success if they test thecurrent business practices and/or direct applications of the subject matters in the constructionjobsite. Early in the nineties, Benjamin et. al.1 created a knowledge‐based prototype forimproving scheduling productivity; the results confirm the system's effectiveness and support thefurther development of knowledge‐based systems as tools for improving the productivity of theconstruction industry. Real-world learning based on industry project-specific context and best business practicesmay make students a lot more marketable to industry.
