provided by the governments, most of theprestigious research centers in Latin America are found in public universities, with veryfew exceptions in Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Mexico. On the other hand, universitiesstruggle to get economic resources, beyond student´s tuition and fees, to support theirresearch and improve the quality of the education they deliver to be well positioned in themany university ranking systems produced by large international companies. Moreover,defining priorities in the research lines becomes a very hard task for deans and graduatedirectors, most of the time these budgetary discussions affect the organizational climatethat is needed to ensure good results in scientific production.

engineering education.BackgroundCBAM was developed in the 1970’s and 1980’s by researchers at the University of Texas atAustin. Over this timeframe, three main components were created; Levels of Use (howindividuals interact with the innovation), Stages of Concern (the feelings of individuals), andInnovation Configurations (how the innovation is adapted to a particular setting). When used inconjunction, these components aid in assessing and guiding the adoption of innovations in aneducational setting7. Explaining the full complexity of CBAM is beyond the scope of this paperbut this body of research can be further explored in the included references 3,6,8,9

Students are loaned a LabJack and an additional kitwhich contains electronic parts like resistors, LEDs, switches, jumper wires, and a protoboard.In past years, the ECE 102 final project has been based either on the television game show“Wheel of Fortune” or the 80’s electronic toy “Simon”. At this stage a fair amount of technicalassistance and background information is given, since many of the students have not worked onsubstantial program development or interfacing before. For Wheel of Fortune, students build acircuit using a 3-to-8 decoder chip and eight LEDs to simulate the wheel (Figure 2). A discretepush-button activates the spin

The course usually requires that students completethree projects per semester, generally requiring software input and output, but no building orconstruction of any kind.Hands on learning is well documented as an effective teaching tool for kinesthetic learners.5,6Such students seemed to be underserved by the conventional teaching methods of the course, soefforts were undertaken to create more hands-on and real world application projects. 7Implementation of project based courses can be challenging, but many universities have createdsuccessful hands-on project based courses.

Understanding the current statusand best practice for teaching students majoring in architecture, civil engineering, andconstruction science management (here in after known as “construction students”) about the IRCprovides the first step to mitigating communities in the future 6.BackgroundA literature review for teaching about the IRC produced no new publications since the early2000’s when the International Code Council (ICC) was formed and states began adoptingversions of the IRC. Prior to the ICC, research publications discussed the difficulty in codeintegration to the curricula due to
