50% of the course, collaborative work and homework,20% and final exam 30%, respectively. The final exam is at the end of the course when theclasses period has ended and students are only sitting for exams or delivering final projects inother courses, therefore, the final exam period is extremely stressful for students and if they didnot perform well in the partial exams, the need for a good mark at the final exam could makematters worse.In the last few years our university has worked in a new education model, namely (nameremoved for blind review) that is student centered and encouraging the use of the latesttechnologies inside and outside the classroom [1-2]. These technologies include remote distancecourses [3-4] and even courses with

Responses: “I feel like I need a day to ask questions/check my work with you before turning in an assignment” “Clear instructions on what is important to know and what is required of us. Direct instruction for assignments. Feedback on previous assignments so we know if we are on the right track for current or future assignments” “Currently I enjoy what we are doing, so I do not have any suggestions at this time”Question #2:What is something you would

the topic of BIM for the use of structural engineering design, and littlewas found in the way of research being performed on this topic. There were a number of publicationsthat discussed BIM for use in educational purposes, however very few were discovered that pertainedto the use of BIM in structural engineering design education. One notable exception to this was apublication that looked at when BIM should be introduced to students in higher education. Resultsfrom that study indicated the inclusion of BIM into civil and architectural structural engineeringcourses gave students an advantage at better understanding the systems and the process of design anddocumentation [1]. Students in engineering often have expectations that they will be

In fact, such exercises bring a sense of reality toprojects that is not possible when you design with fewer and milder constraints. Through designsfor outer space, students would learn about design for similar extreme environments and conditionson earth. The knowledge they take away may shape their life and careers in humanitarianarchitecture such as disaster-relief structures, pop-up clinics, among others.

Key Words: BIM, Engineering, Construction, CurriculumIntroductionBuilding information modeling (BIM) has increased at an exponential rate over the past decadein the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. BIM adoption has steadilyincreased since 2007; according to McGraw-Hill Construction’s Smart Market Report [1], 17%of AEC industry utilized BIM software systems in 2007, 49% in 2009, and 71% in 2012. A morerecent McGraw-Hill Construction survey conducted in 2019 states that mechanical and plumbingsubcontractors are responsible for producing

Highlights of thisprogram include the following: 1) the students alternate between academic and coop work terms,with the exception of having two back-to-back academic terms in their fourth year; 2) each termfeatures a studio course – as mentioned earlier, each of these courses will involve the planningand execution of a series of design projects that integrate and put into practice concepts coveredin the other courses the students will be taking; 3) the core courses in the first two years are builton the established civil, environmental, and geological engineering programs at the sameinstitution, and

Similar Tools in Industry PracticeIn recent years, the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry has been shiftingtowards an electronic document workflow that facilitates clear, real-time communicationbetween designers, plan checkers, and contractors. A number of software packages are leadingthis coordination of interdisciplinary collaboration for large-scale structural engineering projectsincluding Bluebeam Revu [1], Procore [2], BIM 360 [3], and PlanGrid [4]. Each of thesedocument management tools allow user groups to produce and share design drawings,submittals, reviews, requests for information (RFIs), and field reports [5] as detailed in Table 1.This technology increases efficiency in communication response time and accuracy

learning is beneficial to the educational process, and it has the potential to engagestudents in the learning process deeply. Studies have demonstrated its success in improvingcritical thinking skills, collaboration, and retention of material. In active learning, studentsshould not only be involved in activities, but they should be thinking about what they are doing[1]. Student-centered pedagogical strategies can promote student learning and retention of thematerial [2]. Incorporating a variety of pedagogical approaches in the classroom allows fordifferent student learning styles to be accommodated while improving student engagement.In engineering, common instructional techniques used include active learning, problem-basedlearning, cooperative

in improving minority students’ overall performance and professional skills.Introduction and BackgroundConstruction management (CM) is one of the growing careers in the booming US constructionindustry since there is an increasing demand for professionals to manage construction activities[1].The growth in demand is projected to increase by 10 percent from 2018 to 2028, with theanticipated increase in construction activities over the coming decade [2]. However, due to thegrowing complexity of construction processes and the dynamic nature of the constructionindustry, there is a necessity for an innovative pedagogy that could help CM students familiarizethemselves with real-construction site issues and engage in problem-solving skills

FabricationAbstractThis paper seeks to evaluate the challenges and successes in incorporating a beam fabricationmodule into a Concrete 1 engineering design class for Architecture and ArchitecturalEngineering students. While this class is usually taught in a lecture format, the inclusion of ahands-on activity aimed to accomplish the following goals: • Student learning about principles of flexure and shear through hands-on exercises • Engage students in course material by giving the first-hand experiences with concrete construction • Structure task to encourage competition between small groups • Prompt students to consider multiple solutions to a given problem • Involve other learning settings to give students a more well-rounded

showed that the students as a group became more collaborative in their conflict management styles between their junior and senior years.IntroductionMarket forces within the construction industry are demanding more collaborative environments.Construction Management at Risk, Design/Build, Lean Construction, and Integrated ProjectDelivery (IPD), now account for most of all construction contracts.1 In particular, IPD requires asignificant level of collaboration to succeed. However, these increasingly collaborative projectdelivery systems do not ensure collaboration. For example, Lean Construction proponentsfrequently employ the principles of IPD and have positively impacted the construction industry,but success does not occur on every

Additionally, after the VRactivity, the authors conducted an exit survey, obtaining the students’ perception of theactivity. The data obtained from the different surveys and evaluations allowed the authors to(1) develop an ordered probit regression model to understand the influence of several factorssuch as academic level, gender, first-generation and international status; (2) identify themajor deficiencies in CM students' communication and presentation skills; and (3) assess theeffects of VR-based presentation simulations on CM students’ presentation skills.

The primarypurpose of this project is to evaluate the feasibility of micro-farm structures as a newpedagogical strategy in architectural courses, and to simulate a multi-disciplinary course thatemploys experiential learning. This will set a precedent as a scalable model for other institutionsto replicate and to share the lessons learned from the process.IntroductionBased on the previous study [1], the goal of this research is to develop a pedagogical strategy inthe Department of Architecture and Construction Management at Farmingdale State College
