However, incorporating asimulator requires a substantial capital investment and consideration should be given to otherpedagogical techniques that may be used to achieve the learning objective, the financial positionof the program, and whether the simulator could serve other functions, such as a recruiting toolto generate interest in construction education.1 Caterpillar Equipment Training Solutions – Virtual Training Systems, (2008), Caterpillar, Inc., Peoria IL.2 Schneider, M., and S.

In such anenvironment, students are able to comprehend project controls information and develop a feel forthe impact which certain decisions have on project goals and objectives, thus creatingknowledge. While additional research regarding the use of modeling and simulation in projectcontrols is underway, the findings contained herein point towards a larger role for its use infuture projects and engineering education.IntroductionAspects of the project management function such as planning, control and monitoring require theintegration of time, cost, and quantity of work with available resources.

is an important aspect of college experience.5Studies reveal that there is a relationship between absenteeism and student performance incourses.6 The hypothesis that there is a strong relationship between class attendance and studentlearning has been investigated empirically in journals of higher education. It is not surprising thatmost studies have found an inverse relationship between being absent from the class and courseperformance.5, 6, 7,8Studies have been conducted on the inverse relationship between absenteeism and studentperformance in different courses at college level. As long back as in the 1970’s, Jenne9 foundthat attendance played a major role in a health science course. Jones10 reported that there is a

With the findings of gold and copper in the late 1850’s,Montana became a US Territory on May 26, 1864 and the 41st state on November 8, 1889.Mining and cattle ranching have been the major themes of the state history. Mining has beenassociated with the state since the late 1850’s with the discovery of gold in Bannack Creek (nearthe capital) and by 1888, had more millionaires per capita than any other city in the world. Cattleranching has been associated with the state since the late 1800’s, mostly due to the HomesteadAct of 1862 and its revision in the early 1900’s, which expanded the amount of land a

Most confidence wasshown in topics taught early in the semester and dealing with force and load. Least confidencewas shown with concepts taught later in the semester, and dealing with section properties (S),bending (stress, beam moment) and pure stress and strain. These lower ranked concepts dealwith more complex concepts. The notable exception to the relationship between order ofpresentation and ranking are the topics dealing with wood properties and design.Looking at performance on exam, a paired-sample t-test was used to compare the scores ontopics chosen

Inductive teaching techniques may alsobe called learner-centered or student-centered since they require students take more responsibilityfor their own learning compared to traditional lecture based or deductive teaching methods, can bemore interactive and have been found to promote student engagement.1Debate has been researched as a pedagogical method used to improve critical thinking skills andoral communication skills since the 1990’s.3,4 Learner-centered education programs such asnursing and pharmacy, marketing
