of the different trades responsible for a model, andbasic construction terminology.Based on the varying student backgrounds and concentrations, this course was made to focus onthe careers they were pursuing. The majority of the graduates who take the class go on to workfor mid to large-sized general contractors, whereas a minority of students works for design orengineering firms. Based on this data, the course was structured with relevant software systemsand course assignments to focus on management rather than design. Instead of introducing andtraining the students how to create, the course focuses on how to manage and solve constructionrelated problems utilizing these tools.Another major aspect of this courses successes and failures has

, Mohammadsoroush Tafazzoli2 1 Mississippi State University, 2 Washington State UniversityAbstract This paper concisely reports on the design and organization of a summer camp in the construction area and explores the impacts of such activities on getting high school students’ awareness of the benefits of a construction career. Summer camps provide a pathway for examining youth development in specific areas. Camps represent environments where participants can develop their technical knowledge, social skills, and emotional intelligence through a series of theoretical and practical activities that are fun, engaging, interesting

date, STEM students in general are offered conventional engineeringeducation that depend on ineffective techniques, tiring introductory courses, and timewornpedagogies. Research studies indicate that a shift to innovative pedagogical techniques such asproblem-based learning (PBL), flipped classrooms and vertical integration are recommended toengage learners as well as actively develop their professional skills. This research implemented apilot integrative learning approach, which couples PBL and vertical integration to successfullyprepare minority CM students to thrive in their careers. Through this approach, three courseswith different educational levels and instructional forms were connected by developing a sharedproject that addressed

architecture (OSA) and engineering will certainly providethe foundations, skills, knowledge, and design sensibility that architecture students can build uponin their careers. There may be more graduating architects in future working for space agencies oroffices dedicated to outer space designs. But, what exactly should this body of knowledge containand how should it be delivered? This paper discusses how OSA can be offered as a specializationand/or a joint degree in architecture and architectural engineering programs.Key Words: architecture, outer space architecture, architectural engineering, terrestrialarchitecture, extreme conditions, design studio, seminar, deployable structures, inflatablestructures, Moon, lunar, Mars.IntroductionPlanet earth

learning, and collaborative learning [3]. The skills gained by incorporatingthese approaches are critical for students looking to pursue a career in the construction industry.Felder et al. reinforced the notion that active learning is more effective than lecturing as studentscan gain a deeper understanding of the material [4]. They also stressed the importance of practiceand reflection in the learning process. Freeman et al. compared studies focused on undergraduatestudents in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) that used active learningtechniques and those that used traditional approaches [5]. Average examination scores increasedby 6% in the active learning sections, thus highlighting the importance of active learning inSTEM

The complicationswith the construction process provided very useful insight for their future career, and this hands-on learning experience had a profound impact on how they view the construction process.Figure 4.1 & 4.2 construction process shared via video conferencingResultsThe author interviewed with two participating students to ask about their learning experience.Also, to obtain a more in-depth understanding, the author required them to submit a report.

should know pertainingto the subject. This paper will explore the use of BIM within the structural design process forArchitectural Engineering programs. It will include a literary search on the use of this method inhigher education, and will detail the process in which it is introduced into intermediate design coursesin steel and concrete, with student assessment of the process.IntroductionThere is a need for advances in technologies used in the profession of engineering to be included inthe educational process in higher education, however the question arises as to the extent of thisinclusion. With the vast number of topics that engineering students must be taught during theireducational career, the addition of new technologies is at times

results from the upper-division students in the ARCE 451course indicated that they were moderately to highly satisfied with submitting and receivingdesign submittals electronically. They were in support of the instructor continuing to useBluebeam to provide feedback in this course, and would recommend it as a grading method forother faculty of similar classes. These survey results suggest that ARCE students that are furtheralong in their academic careers, and have completed internships at structural engineering firmsthat utilize digital document management, are more receptive to electronic submissions. It is notunusual for them to scan hand calculations to compile with computer calculations and drawingsto submit as a single package online
