-ended qualitative questions. The survey results are presented, with some examples,qualitative responses, and discussion from the authors. By presenting and publishing this paper,the authors hope to learn from similar programs in practice, share our experiences, and perhapsinspire others to try such ventures.Literature reviewMany construction educators understand that learning through service can be very effective,providing students with opportunities to practice professional and independent learning skills inthe context of “real world” problems which they all seem to enjoy. According to Scott Stanfordet al. [1], service learning is one of the four emerging trends in engineering capstone courses,along with technology, multidisciplinary projects

seem to be a large gap in theknowledge that a finance student has versus what they will be required to know in order to enterinto the construction management field. However, there are many advantages that a financestudent can bring to a construction engineering and management program. Finance students aretaught to think critically and analyze every detail of a company in order to determine its valueboth in the short term and the long term. A construction project is managed much like acompany. By the end of the project, the goal is to build a product on schedule, on budget, and percontract. Finance students are trained to identify how and where profit can be made throughcritical analysis of financial statements. A large portion of the work a

The strategies included joint capstone and design projects for construction and civilengineering students in an international setting (e.g. study abroad), developing the capability toperform life cycle analysis (LCA) by integrating engineering economics problems into ProjectManagement course, inviting guest lecturers from the leadership team of

The prompt presents a Request for Qualifications (RFQ), which is a procedure used intwo-step procurement procedures in Design-Build projects. The first step being a RFQ, whichfocuses on the qualifications of the design-builder for the project; and the second step is aRequest for Proposals (RFP), which involve a more detailed approach to the specific proposal,often requiring initial design proposals, price and schedule proposal (price and technicalproposals). The construction management program in this study has been using a RFP as guidingactivity for the senior capstone course for the past five years. To provide readers with a

This decision reflects current enrollmentnumbers in the department between the areas of emphasis (General, Structures, andTransportation). Some changes were made at the request of the capstone design instructors(CVEN 400: Design Problems in Civil Engineering). They voiced concerns that team projectsprevented students from maximizing

The current focus of his research is the implementation effects of low im- pact developments, net-zero schools and residences, and constructed wetlands into the built environment. He holds a Master’s degree in Building Construction and a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture, both from the University of Florida. Dr. Holtzhower has 9 years of professional construction experience including commercial construction management, electrical contracting and management with a fire protection con- tractor. The wide variety of projects includes a flagship institutional project, several municipal projects, K12 projects, office buildings, residential amenities and
