interested facultymembers wanted to learn making techniques and makerspace equipment to facilitate their classes(and for personal curiosity). The first semester (Fall 2017) involved faculty attending three half-day workshops to learn maker tools and instructional strategies to support the integration ofmaking and design. Workshops were held in two makerspace areas, 1) Bobcat Made - theuniversity makerspace and 2) The Make Lab, low-tech mobile makerspace in the College ofEducation. Upon attending the workshops, faculty were asked to develop a lesson plan thatintegrated making and design into one of their courses for the following spring. Facultyparticipated in online forum discussions and received mentoring from program staff throughoutthis process

Construction facultymust seek ways to actively engage Generation Z students [7] in ways that these tech-savvystudents prefer to learn. Unfortunately, construction academics continue to struggle to define aclear path regarding how technology can be used in the classroom [4] which could be a detrimentto the learning experience [8]. Moreover, the utilization of technology in a constructionmanagement classroom can be cumbersome if there is not a well-thought-out plan to do so, andthe instructor is not aware of the impacts (good or bad) of introducing new technology.The incorporation of one
