,simultaneously interacting, and constantly communicating with learningenvironments. They learn actively, rather than passively, by taking advantage oftechnology.Traditional construction engineering and management (CEM) education followsthe Cartesian view of mind-matter dualism where the learner and the learningcontext are detached. Under this paradigm, concepts are presented as fixed, well-structured, and independent entities. Learning activities are divorced from theirauthentic context resulting in fragmentation and specialization of courses andeducational experiences. This fragility can be observed in school when studentsneither retain nor are able to utilize knowledge allegedly acquired in previouscourses. These problems are not exclusive to CEM

spatial perception andvisualization is warranted in a university’s CEM education.  Spatial Skills in Construction Spatial ability is a unique type of intelligence which can be best defined as “the ability to presentthe spatial world internally in your mind”.9 In other words, spatial ability is the capacity tomentally organize, understand, and visualize spatial relations among objects. Linn andPeterson10 describe that spatial ability consists of mental rotation, spatial perception, and spatialvisualization. This ability is known as a critical skill in many fields of study, including science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education.11 Spatial ability becomesincreasingly important with the advance of new computer graphics technology

If we do not learn to share more equitably what is here to use, we not only are livingin denial, but more importantly, subject ourselves to greater chances of invasion and attacks fromthe outside. Unfortunately, social change is usually difficult and slow. We have reached a pointin history where sustainability is not only a desirable goal of education, but rather is a requisitethat should be on the forefront of curriculum development and educators’ minds. Eco-friendlyapproaches to construction and in general, engineering, are the purview of all global citizens andit is through K-12 education that the need and vision for doing such construction will be taughtand
