Multiple presentation opportunities are provided throughoutthe course to allow more practice and to incorporate feedback for improvement.In the following sections, we first present an overview of the course. This is followed bydiscussion of results obtained after offering the course in Fall 2015. The paper concludeswith lessons learned and suggestions for future improvements.II. Overview of the courseThis is a one-semester-credit course with pass/fail grading in the Master of Science inMechanical Engineering degree program on our campus. The primary purpose of thecourse is to give the students an opportunity to practice presentation skills in front of anaudience and
the project midpoint.High PGO individuals strive to demonstrate competence and focus on task performance bypracticing and mastering familiar task components and strategies24. Thus, teams composed ofhigh PGO individuals may engage in learning behaviors that appear to have a strongerconnection to task completion. Given the uncertain nature of exploring, PGO teams may be morelikely to focus on exploitative learning to refine and build on existing certainties. Thisproposition also aligns with previous research that PGO individuals prefer less ambiguous taskwork24. Following the above, high PGO teams are likely to engage in more exploitative learningthroughout the entire project, and thus will start higher on exploitative learning. Furthermore

guide them to determine the knowledge they must gain and information they must gather to solve each problem.3. Students will learn the needed fundamental engineering principles outside of class time through the Inverted Classroom by identifying and watching 8-12 minute videos and studying other materials in the learning resource repository. Initially, students will be guided on which on-line resources to use to master a particular topic. Eventually, they will be expected to search this repository to identify resources without guidance from the instructor. This scaffold approach will help to develop students’ ability to self-direct their learning. An online quiz associated with each topic will encourage students to

Examples include Columbia University’s Gateway design course3,Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s undergraduate design course and its “New ProductsProgram”4 and Rowan University’s Engineering Clinics Program5.Team projects in current work environments are largely supported with ICT with often minimaldirect personal contact among team members. However, most existing engineering programsdon’t fully incorporate the opportunity for students to master technology-supported teamwork asa core element of the curriculum6,7.

For example, physics, calculus, geometry”“If you can get people to really do some background work before class, then yes, it cloud be useful”“The class work is great, but I would prefer mastering topics I was already struggling with, instead ofworking on new material”“Yes, it is a beneficial break from the other learning/teaching methods” 4.

. Historically, the course has been taught in atraditional lecture style to an ever-increasing size class. Teaching methods are slow to change fora foundational course such as this one. Some changes have occurred in the correspondingtextbooks, which, over recent years, have moved towards being more engaging by includingexamples that are more applicable and realistic to the world students know. And yet the studentscan still struggle with mastering the key concepts within the course.In order to address this, the format of the heat transfer course was converted from a moretraditional lecture to an inverted format. The specific inverted (also referred to as flipped) formatthat was selected was set up with the following structure; 1) outside of class time

It allows for an efficient construction processthat saves time and money and reduces the number of RFIs and field coordination problems,compared to traditional practices. Perhaps, the most important force driving the adoption of BIMis the ability to integrate all members of project teams together by communicating ideas moreeffectively, thereby providing a competitive advantage for innovative firms.12 Therefore, inincorporating BIM into the CEM curriculum, the main focus should be on fundamental BIMconcepts and processes, not on mastering BIM tools.13This paper proposes a holistic view of BIM education in post-secondary institutions.
