Page 26.455.2 • Integrated Services Construction ManagementEach of the project-based courses was based on a model of six (6) quarter-hours of laboratorycredit total of sixteen (16) scheduled contact hours per week and an additional two (2) hours perweek to be arranged for by the instructor. Based on a ten (10) week quarter system, studentswould receive a total of one-hundred eighty (180) hours of instruction. Similar to coursesoffered through an architecture program, their concept was teach each course in a dedicatedspace equipped with models, samples, contracts, marketing documents, specifications, estimatingguides, computer references, and other tools appropriate to that construction industry sector. Inaddition, the laboratory would be

often expected to drive theconstruction industry into the future. As educators, it is our job to help prepare students for thisrole by providing them with opportunities to use mobile technologies in ways that allow them toenvision the future. The department of construction management at Boise State University istrying to lead the way and, following this study, began incorporating mobile devices into sevendifferent construction management courses. While it is a challenge for faculty to effectively usethe devices for teaching and learning, both in and outside the classroom, this is an important steptoward ensuring that our students are prepared to be technology leaders in the future constructionindustry.AcknowledgementsThis project was supported

Maghiar, Georgia Southern University Marcel Maghiar, Ph.D., Assistant Professor at Georgia Southern University teaches Construction Man- agement courses at junior and senior level in the Civil Engineering and Construction Management de- partment. His research experience includes development of computer syntaxes to unequivocally describe construction activities and development of a consistent methodology to explicitly classify and quantify construction methods (emerging taxonomy of construction methods). Marcel’s main expertise is in com- puter modeling of construction processes. His doctoral work allows the profiling of each journeyman’s affinity for productivity, quality and safety. By analyzing the behavior of
