Paper ID #31746Importance of Active Learning in an Undergraduate Course in ConstructionSchedulingDr. Yewande S Abraham, Rochester Institute of Technology (CET) Yewande Abraham Ph.D., LEED AP O+M, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil Engi- neering Technology Environmental Management and Safety at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). She received her Bachelor’s and Master’s in Civil Engineering from Cardiff University, Wales, United Kingdom and completed her Ph.D. in Architectural Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University, University Park. She teaches courses in construction management at RIT
significant positive impact on their professionaldevelopment. Therefore, this study validates the positive impact of the integrative learningapproach on minority student performance. Future research should collect more comprehensivedata and capture the performance of minority construction managers in the industry to quantifythe level of influence in construction learning in a versatile environment beyond the semester.References[1] Wei, M., Patadia, S., Kammen, D.

However, instead of using a snapshot, one-time, method,another study added the element of time by reviewing team performances to accomplish asemester long project. The study consisted of 53, four to five-person student teams. The studyindicated that proper management of relationships and task conflicts had a positive effect onteam cohesion and that team cohesion had a positive relationship to team performance, thereby, apositive relationship existed between proper conflict management and team performance.30Therefore, in contrast to Carter et al.’s approach to employing a
experience in engineering education, several projects in innovation of engi- neering education such as the use of 3D virtual ambiences as a way of developing competences.Prof. Israel Zamora-Hernandez, Tecnologico de Monterrey Israel Zamora-Hern´andez has a B.Sc. in Electronic Engineering from the Autonomous University of Puebla, Mexico. He has a M.Sc. in Digital Systems from Tecnologico de Monterrey. He has been a lecturer in the School of Engineering for over 18 years.

time recognizing that the purpose of a universitydegree is to build a strong foundation on which employers should expect they will have to dosome work with young coop students and graduates to add task-specific training.4.0 Assessment of Teamwork and Creative Problem Solving SkillsIn the following section, an example of a first effort to qualitatively assess the impact(s) ofunique elements of the Arch E curriculum delivery is described. In order to facilitate this effort, aqualitative comparison was conducted of the Arch E student performance and the performance ofstudents in other engineering programs in completing a similar task. One of the first yearmechanics courses common to all programs was used for this comparison. The same
