the results indicated in Figures 4 and 5, above, are illustrative of thestudents’ perceptions of the other disciplines throughout the competition. After working togetherfor two weeks, there were slight changes between the perceived strengths and actual strengthsreported at the end of the collaboration. Although it is difficult to discern the reason(s) for theslight changes, one possible explanation may be the fact that nearly 80% of the students hadprior interdisciplinary experience, and therefore already had some understanding of the strengthsand weaknesses of the other disciplines. The slight changes from the initial to the final surveysmay result from the students working with the other disciplines in a new context that ischallenging

However, a small number of students felt uncomfortable usingFacebook for the course because they did not want to share their personal comments posted ontheir Facebook wall with the instructor. Other students complained about the difficulty inlocating information posted on the Facebook group. Nonetheless, majority of students agreedthat the Facebook group was an effective tool facilitating them to share information with otherclassmates and they suggested other courses to use Facebook group as well.Bibliography 1.

Efforts should be made to move the mentoring beyond the role of merelymonitoring student progress or performance to one of coaching that contributes real value tostudent learning. Faculty are the professional experts; the challenge becomes how to usementoring effectively to impart some of that knowledge and experience to students.ReferencesLikert, Rensis.

In each coursemodule, specific course topics were introduced and associated with a course objective. Courseassessment methods and criteria were detailed for each course objective, and course evaluationplan was briefly explained for future research. This paper will serve as a case study of anadvanced level BIM course in CM programs.References1. Zolfagharian, S., Gheisari, M., Irizarry, J., and Meadati, P. (2013).

Sketch-up to complete course work [6]. In a recent study, procedures of using bothAutodesk Revit and Vico Virtual Construction Software Suite [7] to fulfill specific body ofknowledge (BOK) for the ConE education were presented [8].However, there are few studies conducted to investigate how one BIM solution can fulfill ConEBOK. This is a significant constraint hindering the use and adoption of the BIM technology inConE curricula.To address this issue, this paper is to answer the following main research questions: 1. What are the limitations of most widely used BIM software packages? 2. How to use the selected BIM software package(s) to fulfill specific body of knowledge (BOK) for the ConE education?MethodologyIn this study, a BIM model

The undergraduate students indicated in QuestionU2 that this topic is vital to their careers; therefore additional lectures on this topic will notadversely affect their education. If additional student led lectures on one PMS package isrequired, corresponding additional, professor led, PMS package lectures will also be added.Lastly, the authors feel that a pre lecture questionnaire could be added to this study so that acomparison can be made of the student response before and after the intervention.References 1.
