called ‘Construct for Practice’ (C4P) in an effort toprovide students with context-rich experiences. In addition to merging the topic-specific content,the C4P laboratory is co-convened among sophomore, junior and senior levels to facilitate theincorporation of design and project management functions into the building process. Theresulting laboratory is both horizontally integrated (among topics) and vertically integrated(among roles). Now, after four complete semesters of implementation, graduates of the CMprogram have experienced the complete cycle of the laboratory. This paper describes how thelaboratory curriculum has developed over time, presenting a summary of lessons learned, costsassociated with the laboratory and recommendations for

Since this study was local toAuburn, the authors recommended expanding the study’s geographic scope and including moreindustry influence. This study did not identify the specific skills and competencies required forthis integration, a limiting factor for a school planning to implement BIM.Implementation of BIM into university curriculum requires understanding of industryexpectations of CM’s in the field BIM. Without knowing what the desired outcomes are fromindustry, academia cannot properly prepare students in this area. A method of curriculum andcourse development uses an instructional design (ID) process. The first phase of ID is

The basis behind the integrated curriculum was to create aseries of practice courses, similar to an architecture studio model; however, each course wouldfocus on a specific sector of the construction industry - Heavy Civil, Residential, Commercial,and Specialty Construction. The concept behind the seminars was to

These types of teams would benefit from more closely representing thereal-world dynamics of multiple partner design-build projects.Additionally, it would be beneficial to incorporate students into the project teams from the fieldof Innovation Engineering to aid in the development of the business case analysis and provide aninnovative design approach to transitional shelter design applications7. Portions of the projectrequirements could be integrated into the coursework and/or curriculum at educational instituteswith an innovation engineering minor or degree program.Time & Budget ManagementSimilar to outcomes

globally" (Bringle et al 2011). The class was designed to appeal to students who would not have otherwise considered studying abroad. In order to minimize the cost and curriculum disruption, the program fee was limited to $2,500 and the 10 days coincided with the students’ academic spring break. Academic credit was not offered in the 2010 initial class, but since 2012 – 2017, the class has been offered as a construction elective within the Building Science curriculum. The students and faculty typically work with a community construction project, usually an after school care center for 200-350 underprivileged children, consisting of a 4-story, 30,000-sf concrete framed building. Students are given the opportunity

It includes activities such asconceptual design, feasibility studies, preliminary engineering, and many other activities until theconstruction contract is awarded. Capstone courses are offered at most Construction Engineeringand Management programs in order to integrate and apply the knowledge gained during astudent’s academic degree. According to Gehrig et al., capstone courses “are usually structuredin a manner that requires student teams to design construction operational plans for realisticprojects” [1

is a culmination of an in-depthstudy on the engineering behind all of the individual processes that contributed to it and is meantto demonstrate these processes to a public audience. Ancient engineering is rarely discussed inthe context of engineering education curriculums, and these cases frequently segregate differentand sometimes critical aspects in an attempt to distinguish each other. But by understanding theway a monument was constructed, students will also understand engineering principles, labormanagement, material and equipment ergonomics, and sustainability. In the study, most of the calculations, concepts, and theories were given textual explanation,proof, and diagrams explaining both general notions and specific details

to (a) begin to acquire an understanding ofconstruction hazards grasp difficult technical concepts and; (b) understand how safety sciencechanges over time as a project is observed and lessons are learned; (c) analyze the impacts oftechnical decisions on the execution of the project; and (d) appreciate the importance of ethicalconsiderations in the design and construction decision-making process. Case studies are alsouseful in the education of the engineer and construction manager since they provide anopportunity for students to appreciate the problems of stakeholders to the construction process[21]. Other researchers have integrated case studies into engineering curriculum for differentpurposes [4, 16]. These include:  Introductions to
