Only one textbook (“Mechanical and Electrical Systems inBuildings”) provides basic coverage of MEP coordination.The five textbooks reviewed support the typical set of learning goals and objectives of theintroductory MEP systems course(s) in construction programs. The depth and scope of thecoverage for each of the MEP systems varies within each textbook, as well as across textbooks.“Mechanical and Electrical Systems in Buildings” and “Mechanical and Electrical Equipment forBuildings” provide the most comprehensive coverage of MEP
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

Figure 1 shows a steadyincrease of the country’s construction output which is presently over 8 per cent of its GDP1.Most of the construction works are in the public sector. Funding for a high percentage ofconstruction projects come from multilateral development agencies (MDA) like the World Bankor Asian Development Bank.The rapid growth in the construction sector demands an adequate number of professionals with abroad understanding of the principles of construction science as well as leadership skills in Page 11.473.2motivating teams and integrating a wide range of

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.

The major differentiation from architectural drawings is that this diagram isnot to scale and it cannot be used for lineal, area, or volume calculations during the takeoffprocess. Students then informed about the schedules sheet(s) which provide information onequipment and fixtures. They are informed that this is critical information and it needs to becompared with the respective information provided in the specifications. Specifications mayinclude similar, additional or complementing information. Last step is to analyze the details. Notonly plumbing drawings but HVAC and electrical drawings will contain details.

projects. Therefore, if they have not already done so, other CEMprograms should be encouraged to establish formal faculty mentoring programs for theircapstone projects. 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.

advanced BIM applications.Five course objectives were developed to match the CM curriculum needs in BIM contents andalign with the six levels of cognitive learning process in Bloom’s Taxonomy. 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).

protection means and methods, and to determinehow fall protection means and methods knowledge is most effectively transferred to employees,a survey was administered to employees of multiple construction entities located in the PacificNorthwest US. The intent of the study was to assess how the employers of construction entitiesprovide fall protection training and to determine which employee(s) are most effective incommunicating safety aspects within the entities. It is important to understand what trainingpractices currently exist, as well as the effectiveness of the training, in order to determine bestpractice methodologies for delivering fall protection training to construction personnel.ObjectivesThe primary objectives of this research were to
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

would hold anentire lecture on the introduction and set-up of construction schedules and the additional group(s)would go more in depth into the PMS package. 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.
