evaluated through the course evaluation and surveyquestionnaire. The specific survey questions are as follows:Q-1 Green Concrete project helped you in understanding sustainability concepts.Q-2 Hands-on-activities through Green Concrete project increased student participation andimproved student learning in this course.Q-3 In the future, this course should continue Green Concrete project.Q-4 Green Concrete project presentation and report improved your learning in this course.Q-5 I am able to accurately define what is meant by sustainable design practice in constructionprojects.Q-6 The lessons in this course provided me with an awareness of sustainable design practices.Q-7 I tried to relate material covered in lecture(s) to group project assignment.Q

was to see if adding a debate format to case study usage, an inductivelearning technique, could motivate students to research topics (read the text book and articles) inaddition to increasing student engagement and learning. Inductive teaching techniques may alsobe called learner-centered or student-centered since they require students take more responsibilityfor their own learning compared to traditional lecture based or deductive teaching methods, can bemore interactive and have been found to promote student engagement.1Debate has been researched as a pedagogical method used to improve critical thinking skills andoral communication skills since the 1990’s.3,4 Learner-centered education programs such asnursing and pharmacy, marketing

hypothesis that there is a statistically significantdifference in academic performance of students attending a minimester and regular semester.Minimester students perform better than those enrolled in a regular semester. Obviously, theminimester students grasped the concepts and materials faster than their counterparts, and coulduse them well during the exams.However, the results of the study must be taken with some caution. It was done for only one coursein a semester and, therefore, the findings cannot be generalized. The study will hopefully generateenough interest to do further research on predicting performance of students in other courses.Bibliography1. Anastasi, J. S. (2007).

advanced BIM applications.Five course objectives were developed to match the CM curriculum needs in BIM contents andalign with the six levels of cognitive learning process in Bloom’s Taxonomy. In each coursemodule, specific course topics were introduced and associated with a course objective. Courseassessment methods and criteria were detailed for each course objective, and course evaluationplan was briefly explained for future research. This paper will serve as a case study of anadvanced level BIM course in CM programs.References1. Zolfagharian, S., Gheisari, M., Irizarry, J., and Meadati, P. (2013).

place students into courses. TheAssessment and LEarning in Knowledge Spaces (ALEKS) is an assessment tool created byMcGraw-Hill with a mathematics placement module. Similarly, CollegeBoard’s ScholasticAptitude Tests (SAT) and ACT Inc.’s ACT Assessment college entrance exams are used as abasis for admissions into higher education. Since 2012, data has been collected for Engineeringand Technology programs to determine if these exams used for admissions and placementactually serve as a predictor for success. This study compares the ALEKS and ACT scorespredict success in a comparison to grades achieved in Engineering and Technology classes.Similar studies compared the high school grade point average (GPA) with the ACT as predictorsof college
