has always been believed that if there is a “fit”between the learner‟s preferred teaching style and method of instruction, the outcome wouldbe happier and more academically successful learners, although research often fails to sustainthis theory6 . As observed from the reviewed literature, one of the main problems inassociating the magnitude of data to successful learning is that knowledge is augmenting at anexponential rate7, 5. If teaching concentrates merely on content and opportunities to developmeta-cognitive strategies are limited, alumni will experience significant difficulty keeping up-to-date with their respective disciplines5.

With the findings of gold and copper in the late 1850’s,Montana became a US Territory on May 26, 1864 and the 41st state on November 8, 1889.Mining and cattle ranching have been the major themes of the state history. Mining has beenassociated with the state since the late 1850’s with the discovery of gold in Bannack Creek (nearthe capital) and by 1888, had more millionaires per capita than any other city in the world. Cattleranching has been associated with the state since the late 1800’s, mostly due to the HomesteadAct of 1862 and its revision in the early 1900’s, which expanded the amount of land a
confidence in understanding)Turning now to the topics themselves (see Table 2), the average ranking of each topic rangedfrom 1.58 for “free body diagrams” to 2.65 for “section modulus” (N=60). Most confidence wasshown in topics taught early in the semester and dealing with force and load. Least confidencewas shown with concepts taught later in the semester, and dealing with section properties (S),bending (stress, beam moment) and pure stress and strain. These lower ranked concepts dealwith more complex concepts. The notable exception to the relationship between order ofpresentation and ranking are the topics dealing with wood properties and design.Looking at performance on exam, a paired-sample t-test was used to compare the scores ontopics chosen

Students, faculty,and community partners can continue to find ways to fund projects with grants aimed at makingthese connections and continuing the solutions to solve grand challenges and problems facinghumankind. A major goal of the College of Technology and Building Construction Managementdepartment is to continue to create opportunities for synergy and collaboration and instill thesense of lifelong learning.

These objectives are noted in eachcourse syllabus and explained to the students in the first class meeting of every semester.The faculty members who are assigned to construction courses identify corresponding examquestion(s), homework assignment(s), and/or class project(s) for each learning objective. Similarto the program level assessment, student work is assessed at the end of the semester for level ofperformance. These results are then grouped under the simplified assessment categories.Table 1 presents the results of the course specific learning outcomes assessment for the CSM4013 Construction Estimating I course.

distresses are unique and complicated. Thus, there is no ideal procedure to identify orevaluate concrete distresses. In contrast to some sophomore and junior level courses which focuson fundamentals of materials, this class uses the PBL approach in addition to lectures, andthereby enables students to confront open-ended workplace problems. To promote criticalthinking through the course of the whole class, the instructor emphasized the point that inaddition to being aware of the options in the “Tool Box”, it is equally (if not more) important tobe cognizant of what “Tool(s)” to use. As there are various equipment or approaches that can beused to evaluate concrete distresses or to repair or strengthen existing concrete structures, inorder to promote

However, a small number of students felt uncomfortable usingFacebook for the course because they did not want to share their personal comments posted ontheir Facebook wall with the instructor. Other students complained about the difficulty inlocating information posted on the Facebook group. Nonetheless, majority of students agreedthat the Facebook group was an effective tool facilitating them to share information with otherclassmates and they suggested other courses to use Facebook group as well.Bibliography 1.

The major differentiation from architectural drawings is that this diagram isnot to scale and it cannot be used for lineal, area, or volume calculations during the takeoffprocess. Students then informed about the schedules sheet(s) which provide information onequipment and fixtures. They are informed that this is critical information and it needs to becompared with the respective information provided in the specifications. Specifications mayinclude similar, additional or complementing information. Last step is to analyze the details. Notonly plumbing drawings but HVAC and electrical drawings will contain details.

projects. Therefore, if they have not already done so, other CEMprograms should be encouraged to establish formal faculty mentoring programs for theircapstone projects. Efforts should be made to move the mentoring beyond the role of merelymonitoring student progress or performance to one of coaching that contributes real value tostudent learning. Faculty are the professional experts; the challenge becomes how to usementoring effectively to impart some of that knowledge and experience to students.ReferencesLikert, Rensis.

protection means and methods, and to determinehow fall protection means and methods knowledge is most effectively transferred to employees,a survey was administered to employees of multiple construction entities located in the PacificNorthwest US. The intent of the study was to assess how the employers of construction entitiesprovide fall protection training and to determine which employee(s) are most effective incommunicating safety aspects within the entities. It is important to understand what trainingpractices currently exist, as well as the effectiveness of the training, in order to determine bestpractice methodologies for delivering fall protection training to construction personnel.ObjectivesThe primary objectives of this research were to
Sketch-up to complete course work [6]. In a recent study, procedures of using bothAutodesk Revit and Vico Virtual Construction Software Suite [7] to fulfill specific body ofknowledge (BOK) for the ConE education were presented [8].However, there are few studies conducted to investigate how one BIM solution can fulfill ConEBOK. This is a significant constraint hindering the use and adoption of the BIM technology inConE curricula.To address this issue, this paper is to answer the following main research questions: 1. What are the limitations of most widely used BIM software packages? 2. How to use the selected BIM software package(s) to fulfill specific body of knowledge (BOK) for the ConE education?MethodologyIn this study, a BIM model

control in many different perspectives. It can be forecasted that students can gainBIM knowledge and skills more thoroughly within a current curriculum. The steps are listedbelow: Determine the goals to be achieved by applying BIM into teaching. Choose method(s) to apply BIM into courses. At this step, it was determined to use several existing courses. Employ different teaching styles. The selection of teaching style depends on various stages of BIM knowledge and applications, the nature of courses, and the teaching expertise of course instructors. Set up a course framework that integrates BIM concepts and determine changes to be made to the current construction
