among construction industrystudents to a) evaluate their experience of natural disasters, b) examine the source of knowledgeof resilience on natural disasters, c) measure knowledge of post-disaster evacuation, and d)evaluate disaster preparation from university education. The study found that the population of thestudent body existed that had not experienced a natural disaster and were unaware of its impactseither on a personal or familial basis. Further, the majority of the responding students felt that theirmajor(s) and universities did not prepare them in terms of handling natural disasters and extremeweather events. Finally, a correlation was found between the location students live and a desire forknowledge about extreme weather events at

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

Similar studies about cloud-based SRSs have been conducted in thelast ten years, if not earlier. Table 1 summarizes recent studies regarding the implementation ofthe cloud-based SRSs in engineering education. Most of these studies reported on students’perceptions and some faculty reflection and did not have a baseline or a control to compare with.Table 1.

conducted to find if the identified gap betweenthe perception of managers and workers can be satisfied. The assuring outcomes show mostparticipants (over 80%) believe managers and workers can find a common ground to reconcile andaddress the differences in their perception (see Figure 2).Exploring workers’ and managers’ responses to the question provide insightful information thatcan shed light on the subject matter. They argued we (i.e., managers and workers) already havecommon ground. In response to the interview question an interviewee mentioned that “Yes, Ibelieve that we already have an overall common ground, no one wants to get hurt or see someoneelse.” A construction worker added that “I believe the manager[s] feel the same way about

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

completing the semester(s), an instructor should document and communicate with the GBCI to finalize certification. To efficiently and effectively work with the USGBC and GBCI, an instructor is highly recommended to hire a student assistant who is familiar with the entire process of the course and can assist, with supervision, in submitting final project documentation. Having this assistance will ensure the successful completion of the LEED Lab project.Based on the lessons learned from this Sustainable Construction course, other institutions mayconsider adding an adaptation of the LEED Lab module to their sustainability-related or projectmanagement courses and may create a concrete plan to achieve their course objectives
