deeplearning, instruction being driven by a central problem or case and the instructor primarilyfacilitating the process of learning, the many methods listed for use with PBL should provebeneficial in the case of PrBL as well. For project based activities to be truly effective, educators need to ensure thatreflective learning is facilitated so that students can truly learn from the process5. Thus,assessment is an integral part of the learning cycle and occurs both during and at thecompletion of the project6. Instructors should plan for both formative and summativeassessment as part of the course. That is, they need to collect and act on information thatwill help students improve as they proceed, and they need to have measures that showwhat

objectives within the curriculum. They recommend BIMfind its way into multiple courses in the construction curriculum. Since this study was local toAuburn, the authors recommended expanding the study’s geographic scope and including moreindustry influence. This study did not identify the specific skills and competencies required forthis integration, a limiting factor for a school planning to implement BIM.Implementation of BIM into university curriculum requires understanding of industryexpectations of CM’s in the field BIM. Without knowing what the desired outcomes are fromindustry, academia cannot properly prepare students in this area. A method of curriculum andcourse development uses an instructional design (ID) process. The first phase of ID is

It wasdeveloped by Dr. Felder, a professor of chemical engineering and initially utilized in hischemical engineering classes. Since its creation, it has been used in most disciplines ofengineering study. In a search of the ASEE conference proceeding from 2000 to 2006, Litzingeret al. [30] found hundreds of articles on learning styles and nearly 50 utilized the ILS in theirclassroom and research. The ILS is a respected and well know instrument in the engineeringeducation industry. It is also considered to be easily administered and more easily understood byits participants than

Therefore, a new courseentitled “Constructional Regulations and Organizational Management” is introduced into theCivil/Construction Engineering curriculum at Syracuse University in 2015 spring semester. Theobjective of this new course is to better

Traditionally, learning in an institutional settinghas taken place in a classroom, but this is starting to change with the increased use oftechnology2.In an effort to enhance the quality of educational experiences for 21st-century learners, educatorshave started to adopt a blended learning approach. Numerous models of blended learning aredesigned to integrate both face-to-face and online learning in order to recapture the traditionalvalues of higher education, while also meeting the demands and needs of the 21st century8.Classes are beginning to transfer from an in-class setting to a

It includes activities such asconceptual design, feasibility studies, preliminary engineering, and many other activities until theconstruction contract is awarded. Capstone courses are offered at most Construction Engineeringand Management programs in order to integrate and apply the knowledge gained during astudent’s academic degree. According to Gehrig et al., capstone courses “are usually structuredin a manner that requires student teams to design construction operational plans for realisticprojects” [1
