introduction of a BIM course to a construction management programwith a diverse student body. The course is structured as a lecture-lab combination where thefundamental concepts and implementation issues are discussed in the lecture portion. In the labsessions, the students are asked to complete individual projects and present them in differentformats. The purpose of this paper is to provide a sample structure to deliver BIM content.Feedback from the students, instructor observations, and recommendations for the computerexercises are also included in the paper.IntroductionAs Building Information Modeling (BIM) becomes a standard practice in the Architecture-Engineering-Construction industry, many universities and colleges offering a

Throughnarratives of project partners, faculty and students, we contrast the experiences of two types ofCE projects and their impact on participants. From this two-year case study involving 88freshmen, 16 faculty members and 15 community partners, we conclude that successful CElearning requires that all participants have an awareness of the type of CE project that isintended. This paper implies that appropriate choices in the initial phases of creating thecommunity-engaged collaboration are critical to a result that satisfies the participants.Background and motivationCommunity-engaged learning is often recognized as a high-impact practice in higher

This strategy has been implemented into a graduate and senior level electivecourse called Biomedical Engineering Processes at Rowan University. In the beginningof the semester, each student group selects an existing artificial organ. Students are thenchallenged to research the organ paying attention to the engineering aspects needed tocreate the organ artificially, and to propose an innovative design to address at least one ofthe outstanding challenges.
