pace with the number of students enrolled inpublic universities and their needs. In order to satisfy the demand and provide educational facilitiesto create an environment that is conducive to learning, universities are having to search forinnovative solutions for their campuses. This paper explores the involvement of ConstructionEngineering and Management (CEM) graduate students to assist in the pre-construction phase ofuniversity projects. The pre-construction phase includes all the work required to developconstruction documents starting at the conceptual phase and ending at the point where theconstruction contract can be awarded. Having graduate CEM students working in real universityprojects benefits the university by lowering the costs

Requiring students to research and complete this discussion allowed them to discover ways in which buildings are made sustainable. 2. Evaluate a current building discussion: For these types of discussions, students are to evaluate current buildings in their community and discuss how the building was inefficient. For each of these discussions, the students are required to include pictures of the building they are discussing. Many times, students chose to write about the houses they currently live in, as the majority of the houses in the area are old

They also prefer to work alone [1, 2, 45-47].The third learning style dimension is the students’ Perception (LSD3) of the information giventhem. Are they sensing learners versus intuitive learners? Sensors like to learn facts and solveproblems with established methods and formulas. They dislike courses that have little apparentconnection to the real world. Intuitors prefer learning possibilities, relationships, and abstractconcepts and think how they can be applied to other situations. They like innovation and dislikerepetition and “plug-and-chug” course work with lots of memorization and
