Adrian H. Tan and Fabian H. Tan Department of Civil Engineering The Ohio State University Abstract – In the field of construction engineering, the use of computer imaging, and more recentlyvirtual reality, has become instrumental in the creation of educational simulations, which can be used topresent techniques and details in a manner that is easily understood by students. Because these tools areincreasingly used in the simulation of modern buildings and construction projects, the same system can becombined with engineering and historical studies as a means of demonstrating the construction of ancientmonuments, which will enable historians and engineers to understand the

Sawhney et al.18maintain that many civil and construction engineering curricula do not allow the inclusion ofissues of importance to industry, the participation of practitioners, or hands-on experience.The University of Washington’s Department of Construction Management has embarked on anambitious project to develop a 28,000 sq. ft. research and education center, the Pacific NorthwestCenter for Construction Research and Education, to foster experiential learning and research inconstruction engineering and management.

He further argues that such opportunitieswould provide students with better prospects to interact with professional engineers and Page 23.1139.2managers on real construction projects that are dealing with real-life challenges. Anothersolution that is suggested in literature is to establish collaborative partnerships betweeneducational institutes and local construction companies13.

The fact that pre-planning benefits the project team and has value is not disputed.However, the value of it is difficult to quantify as the value is often in costs not realized.Ghio et al.13 struggle to measure the value of operations pre-planning, but rather relies oncomparing the outcome of a
