Hybrid learning isan emerging concept which, when executed correctly, has been proven to increase efficiency forthe institution and learning for the students 2. An early

Classroom and laboratory instruction are the major pedagogicalstyles employed, with practical experience gained through student internships on actualconstruction related projects. This study stems from the need to define the quantity and nature ofskills students should acquire through an internship
desired business goals. SatisfyingOwner demands is at the heart of the both the use of BIM and IPD process.Architects, Engineers and Constructors are responding to Owners’ demands by adopting newprocesses, including collaborative partnerships, and utilizing new technologies. New tools andtechnologies are key enablers of the integration of design and construction.13 These include: • BIM design tools to provide platforms for integrated processes built on coordinated reliable information and resulting in enhanced coordination, fewer RFIs and change orders, and less rework; • 3D and 4D visualization for enhancing scope definition, stakeholder engagement, and decision making

The goal of this study was to identify, either real orperceived, the requirements for and impediments to construction faculty achieving tenure.MethodologyRecently tenured and tenure-track construction faculty were surveyed to gather the variousviewpoints of tenure requirements and impediments. Construction faculty were defined as thosein construction management, construction engineering, civil engineering technology and
experience due to the PhD requirements.The attainment of a PhD has grown as a requirement as research and external funding for hasbecome more important. The essential aspect of industry experience is a result of the appliedscience nature of construction management education. 6 The importance is reflected not only injob postings but also in accrediting body requirements. Both the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) and the American Council for Construction Education(ACCE) note that faculty in construction engineering and construction engineering programsshould have relevant professional experience. 1, 2 In fact, ABET considers this one of the ways inwhich faculty demonstrate their competence. 1This current demand on faculty for

This procedure essentially requires only short-termmemory acquisition and an organization that allows for efficient retrieval of the information.With the increase in class sizes, most teachers find it difficult to disseminate information andengage students in effective learning.
