This course is required for construction management (CM) majors and minors and is athree credit course with 45 hours of classroom instruction. The course introduces students toconstruction methods and materials used on building projects, with three main objectives: • Demonstrate knowledge of the methods and equipment commonly used to construct buildings including the foundation and framing systems. • Identify and discuss the technical

the development of problem-solving skills.  New information is acquired through self-directed learning.Especially in CEM education, project-based learning has been considered to be interchangeablewith problem-based learning. However, there is a major difference between project-basedlearning and problem-based learning. Problem-based learning mainly focuses on the process ofproblem-solving and learning while project-based learning focuses on the outcome of a project.Teaching and Learning Theories for Problem-Based LearningBehaviorists postulate that learning can be caused by external stimuli in the environment and isindicated by an observable behavior 10. Learning outcomes as a result of behavioral responses tostimuli can be shaped by

The instructors; an architectand an engineer, purposefully provided minimal direction in order to prevent the projection oftheir professional bias on the students and to gain further insight of students through a lessintimidating approach.IntroductionThe perception within the Department of Construction Management at East Carolina Universityis that students in the undergraduate degree program arrive with preconceived notions andexperiences about the construction industry. However, base competencies are quite often notproperly understood and frequently misunderstood as only labor and technical based by thestudents entering the study of Construction Management discipline.2 This can lead topredetermined notions that are difficult to identify
