In this paper, a project has been developedand is aimed at developing two pedagogical models within the curriculum; one is to coverthe theoretical and practice-oriented sustainability components, and the other is forimplementing applied research in the area of sustainability. Many students undertookboth models during their program of study and as a result reaped the benefits of theirdeveloped skills in a fairly new realm of engineering, i.e. sustainable engineering andgreen construction.

This modification obviated some of the critical issues. There was minimal industrialinvolvement with the capstone course. The modification notwithstanding, both the students andthe industrial advisory board (IAB) felt that more could be done by way of preparing students forthe construction industry. During summer 2011 the process of reengineering the capstone coursebegan. The following sections detail the planning and design of a “new” capstone course, withsignificant industrial participation, for the purpose of better preparing CSM majors for theconstruction

Here, anowner who wishes to build signs an agreement with a contractor, taking specific requirementsunder consideration. Generally, a permit, house plan, structural design and a contractor arerequired for construction. Here, the work is usually labor intensive and a great number ofworkers are utilized on the site. Nevertheless, industrial and other large projects tend to usemodern construction techniques with the application of large equipment19, 20. This approach isdiscussed in the paper.Construction is

The course isdivided into three modules: BIM workflow, basic BIM applications, and advanced BIMapplications. The BIM workflow module discusses how BIM is addressed in project deliverymethod, contract, the execution plan, and team building. The basic BIM applications moduleexplains the typical BIM applications in 3D coordination, 4D scheduling, 5D estimating,logistics, visualization, etc. The advanced BIM applications module demonstrates the latesttechnology advances in the AEC industry that utilize BIM applications, including laser scanning,virtual reality, and

Most, if not all,Construction Engineering and Management undergraduate and graduate programs require thatstudents complete construction cost estimating courses as part of their core curriculum.However, the value of estimating the owner’s planning, design, and procurement costs during thepreconstruction period is not typically included in the Construction Engineering andManagement curriculum.
