Organizational Behavior from State University of New York at Buffalo c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 A Statistical Approach to Analyzing a Graduate Curriculum for Construction Management EducationBACKGROUNDOver the past couple of decades, the construction industry, like every other industry today, hasgone through a tremendous amount of change due to technological innovation, intense marketcompetition, and community or government regulations, among other factors. The industry hasalso experienced a significant downturn of revenue since its peak in 2008 and has just started toshow increase in demand and revenue. However, the drastic change in the social, economic
Engineering Education, 2017 Introducing an Advanced Building Information Modeling Course in Construction Management ProgramsAbstractMany construction management (CM) programs in the U.S. have introduced BuildingInformation Modeling (BIM) in their curriculum due to the rapid adoption of BIM in thearchitecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry. Previous research has revealed thatmost of the BIM courses offered in CM programs have mainly focused on 3D modeling skills aswell as BIM applications in 4D scheduling and 5D estimating. While these topics appear to beimportant to apply BIM technology, students will not be able to fully understand the BIMprocess in a construction project without knowing the fundamental workflow

VC2L.ConclusionBuilding Information Modeling is a process which aids the integration, collaboration and projectmanagement for the Architecture, Engineering and Construction industries. Its benefit is beingseen in the construction industry and increasingly companies are adapting it. As the demandincreases, it is becoming even more important for a construction curriculum to allow thetraditional methods of education to incorporate technology and skills for future growth. To allowfor the existing heavy workload of the undergraduate program of Construction Management(CM) to absorb BIM, it is important to integrate it throughout the curriculum. As this methodicalchange happens, the existing skill level of the students who are not habitual users of thecomputer programs

construction training self-efficacywas significantly lower (p = 0.033) for females than males. Females also reported a more internallocus of control and lower level of motivation towards construction education than malestudents; however, the differences were not statistically significant (α = 0.05).Results suggest that female students were less confident in their abilities regarding constructioneducation and were more likely to express an internal locus of control. A low levels of self-efficacy has been linked in previous research to poor performance and low retention amongfemale students in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) programs. Resultsunderscore the need for strategies that boost construction education-specific self-efficacy

It is a rare building project that does not require thecontributions of a broad range of participants, including the building owner, architects,engineers, specialized consultants, prime contractors, subcontractors, regulatory officials, usergroups, financiers, real estate brokers, title companies, attorneys, and more. Achieving a well-built building depends not only on a sound knowledge of construction technology, but also onthe ability to communicate effectively and to apply technical knowledge in the context of aproject’s often competing priorities and
