. Kolb’s (2015) life-long learning concepts have transformed the traditionalstructure of the classroom through “real world” experiential learning methods whichcompliments and enhances project-based learning (PBL) with the perspective that “all learning isrelearning” (Kolb and Kolb 2005).Capstone courses that include term-length, group PBL assignments have long been a staple ofmany construction management programs, including BGSU’s (Todd et al. 1995, Dutson et al.1997, McKensie 2004, Howe and Wilbarger 2006 and Pembridge and Parretti 2010). While thedetails of these courses vary, a common goal of each is to prepare students to assumeconstruction engineering and management responsibilities in real-world situations. A secondcommon element is that

as an Inductive Learning Technique with Construction Case Studies Western Illinois UniversityIntroduction & Literature ReviewThis paper focuses on the use of debate as an example of an inductive teaching method in aConstruction Management legal course. The 400 level course is one of the last courses to betaken by the students in the Construction Management program. Typically only the Soils andFoundations, Occupational Safety and Health, and Construction Management capstone coursesare taken after this course, while and Estimating and Scheduling are taken the same semester.Having taught this class multiple times, the author found that traditional lecture, supplementaldiscussion

An illustration of thiscontinuum with some of the examples discussed in this paper placed referentially may be foundin Figure 1 below.Through these varied approaches, building a relationship with the university as a partner canbenefit stakeholders including students, faculty, programs, and the institutions themselves.Bibliography1.

general,most CM programs offer BIM in one to three courses and limit its coverage within a singlediscipline12, 13. The implementation strategies include introducing BIM as standalone courses,utilizing cross-discipline BIM courses, adding BIM labs in capstone/project courses, andintegrating BIM into existing courses14.Pavelko and Chasey performed a survey of 59 construction programs that were members of theAssociated Schools of Construction (ASC) and the American Council for ConstructionEducation (ACCE). The results indicated that 70% of the respondents had covered BIM in theircurriculum, of which most were on 3D coordination (82%), about half on 4D scheduling (46%),and a third on 5D estimating (35%)7, 15.

CE-UY3553 is also offered to Civil Engineering students as a possible elective, and as part of the majorcurriculum for CM students. Even though CE students can take the course as an elective,researchers cannot assess if that is actually the case. Students in NYU may choose only oneelective course from a list of 25 pre-approved courses, of which 13 are in CM, 7 in CE, and 5 isin transportation engineering. • CE-UY 4812 (Civil Engineering Design I: Site Planning and Design): This is the first part of a two-semester capstone design project course for Civil Engineers.
