the integration between resources, time, cost, and quality. In such anenvironment, students are able to comprehend project controls information and develop a feel forthe impact which certain decisions have on project goals and objectives, thus creatingknowledge. While additional research regarding the use of modeling and simulation in projectcontrols is underway, the findings contained herein point towards a larger role for its use infuture projects and engineering education.IntroductionAspects of the project management function such as planning, control and monitoring require theintegration of time, cost, and quantity of work with available resources. Since the early 1950’s,the classical scheduling methods of the Critical Path Method (CPM

pursued this opportunity by seeking to use the construction sites as the basis for acourse on the construction process and the roles engineers have in construction. In other words,the projects were used as active learning “centers” through which students will learn and applyengineering concepts and the construction process.Construction engineering education is not new, dating back to the 1950’s 1, and industry hasplayed in important role in the establishment of such programs. The Construction Engineeringand Management degree program at Purdue University, established in 1972, has stronguniversity-industry collaborations in program development and delivery4. In addition, the use ofactive construction sites to illustrate or reinforce course concepts

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
