laboratory experiences are designed to be completed within the allotted time in the class hours.The required tasks in this course are quizzes, laboratory reports and final presentation. Quizzes aregiven frequently in this class in order to help measure comprehension of the lecture and readingmaterial. Most of the quizzes required reading material or watch posted audiovisual and completequestions. Quizzes were taken online through Sakai learning management system (called asReggieNet) or in the class in paper format. Laboratory activities were assessed through reportsrelated to laboratory activities and final presentation. Additionally, out-of-lab activities wereprovided occasionally. The purpose of out-of-lab activity was to utilize time when

building, renovating, and maintaining the university infrastructurethat can be used as a learning laboratory for students in construction-related curricula. Beyondsimply being a laboratory for observation, the university can be intentionally developed into apartner in the process of preparing the next generation of construction engineers and managers.While larger institutions typically have larger facilities departments, even smaller organizationshave some personnel that are charged with the maintenance of facilities that might work withprograms. Even those institutions who outsource some of these functions may find that theassociated companies are willing to cooperate with construction programs.Basic approaches: exposing students to construction

technology. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017Work Experience Requirement and Expectation of Construction Management Students in ACCE-Accredited Construction Management ProgramsAbstractUndergraduate construction management programs are designed to provide students withconstruction technology and business management related academic preparation for entry careersinto the construction industry. Classroom and laboratory instruction are the major pedagogicalstyles employed, with practical experience gained through student internships on actualconstruction related projects. This study stems from the need to define the quantity and nature ofskills students should acquire through an internship

instillstudents’ drive to gain new knowledge (Kuh, 2007). Astin (1993, 1999) found that frequentstudent-faculty interaction is more strongly related to student satisfaction in college than anyother type of involvement. Lin and Tsai (2009) and Holt et al. (2007) observed that engineeringstudents valued a learning environment that was student-centered, peer-interactive, and teacher-facilitated, and favored both classroom and laboratory instruction. Chen et al. (2008) echoedAstin’s (1999) call for educators to be more focused on student engagement, advocating highlevels of faculty engagement in the design, revision, and improvement of undergraduateengineering programs, and teaching that effectively addresses students’ cognitive and affectivestates of mind

portion of the course concentrates on land surveying concepts, including mathematics, horizontal and vertical control, and angle measurement. The second portion of the course applies surveying data to site layout using traverses, area computations, property surveys, topography, and construction layout for highway and building applications. This course also includes a field laboratory which introduces students to basic surveying practice, including the use of surveying equipment (wheels, tapes, levels, and theodolites), measurements theory and computation, data accuracy and precision, and the use of the field book to properly record data.18Research phasingThis is a working paper of a broader study, which
