. The GPSS aims to supportgovernment decision-makers in boosting efficient large-scale intervention strategies andinvestment plans to reduce disaster risks in schools and improve learning environments forchildren.ContextIn the learning experience examined in this paper, two student teams were formed during theWinter 2020 term to collaborate with a professional team from the GPSS of the World Bank todesign a solution aimed at improving baseline data to assess the vulnerability of schoolinfrastructure. Students from an upper-division undergraduate level Human-ComputerInteraction (HCI) course and a graduate-level Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML)course participated. The AI/ML team developed a back-end automatic structural

loads. However, the methodology was applied in 6 different modules thatcovered trusses and frames, continuous beams, buckling in columns, in-plan, and out-of-plane wallbehaviors, long-span systems, and shells. The exercises were introduced over 2 weeks. Data collectedwere used to reflect on the introduction of educational tools into an otherwise conventionalmathematical class. The tools introduced can be divided into two categories: 1) simulation software forreal-time simulation and 2) small-scale models for physical demonstrators. The first category was usedto help students to comprehend dissimilarities between didactical problems and real-world applicationsby visualizing and experiencing structural behaviors in a virtual environment.

. The purpose of this activity is to get the students thinking aboutthe relationship between a design on paper and the restriction of what is possible to build in thefield. Furthermore, this planning activity was meant to enhance the students’ reflective learningexperience after they run into trouble when they built their piece in the next activity. [Figure 3] Design Critique Session (Left); Idea Sketch Exercise (Right)3.2 Build Activity DetailsThe build activity was scheduled in two sessions: the first taking up the remainder of the firstday, and the second during the morning of the second day. Students were instructed to finishtheir molds by the first day so that plaster could be poured immediately the following day.Students

other groups and instructors,and ultimately built four hunting cabins. The results of this paper were produced from the data gathered atthe end of this camp. The main objective of this study was to explore students’ perceptions toward thecamp and use their feedback and preferences in subsequence camps. The students’ perceptions are animportant input for the construction educator to plan accordingly and increase the quality of academicpreparation and the quantity of student enrollments. The survey aimed to consider factors that impactstudents’ perceptions before entering construction programs. Students expressed their expectation ofsalary and time on the job requirements. The reported numbers were close to the reality which eliminatesthe blind

design stage to completion. Throughout my profession, I have become increasingly involved in project management roles. In addition to my hands-on experience, other areas that interest me in my future research are improved techniques and sustainable construction methods. These are a couple of projects I plan to continue and grow with the Kennesaw State University’s support. One of the studies that I have started is the development of performance certification techniques for sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy & atmosphere, materials & resources, indoor environmental quality, innovation, and design. I have also analyzed the cost and schedule for a specific sustainable construction project. Through my

it is a requirement for being hired to understand this technology and these programs. Oneadditional survey involved students exposed to this new technology. Students were asked to respondto a series of statements pertaining to the inclusion of BIM for the purpose of structural design as partof the intermediate design courses taught within the authors’ program. With the data from the resultsof these surveys, a plan can be formulated for the inclusion of these new technologies into theteachings of engineering students.For the survey sent to engineering programs, the 24 ABET accredited architectural engineeringprograms were contacted, as well as similar programs at other universities. A total of 32 programswere sent the survey, with 20

The items included in the secondhypothesis were: • Women are not fit to be in a jobsite • There is gender discrimination in the construction field • Men are more capable than women in the construction domain • Women in construction are a better fit for office jobs rather than being on the field • I feel recruiters for construction companies prefer hiring males over females for jobsite- related positionsResultsWe have obtained 68 responses to our survey, with 67 respondents being in a constructionrelated major and one being in a construction related minor.
