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
pace with the number of students enrolled inpublic universities and their needs. In order to satisfy the demand and provide educational facilitiesto create an environment that is conducive to learning, universities are having to search forinnovative solutions for their campuses. This paper explores the involvement of ConstructionEngineering and Management (CEM) graduate students to assist in the pre-construction phase ofuniversity projects. The pre-construction phase includes all the work required to developconstruction documents starting at the conceptual phase and ending at the point where theconstruction contract can be awarded. Having graduate CEM students working in real universityprojects benefits the university by lowering the costs

constructionindustry continues to advance educators must be aware of what the “cutting edge” of technologyin construction is, so they can expose their students to it, and more thoroughly prepare them forwhat they will interact with in their careers. This study utilized a survey of construction industryprofessionals to learn about advances in technology and where they are being used. The internetbased survey netted more than 1,000 responses and produced a sample for each question thatranged from n = 116 to n = 1,014. Specifically this study sought to learn about the use ofaugmented and virtual reality technology, the technology that industry professionals have seenand hope to see used in future projects, and the barriers to technology adoption.

Adrian H. Tan and Fabian H. Tan Department of Civil Engineering The Ohio State University Abstract – In the field of construction engineering, the use of computer imaging, and more recentlyvirtual reality, has become instrumental in the creation of educational simulations, which can be used topresent techniques and details in a manner that is easily understood by students. Because these tools areincreasingly used in the simulation of modern buildings and construction projects, the same system can becombined with engineering and historical studies as a means of demonstrating the construction of ancientmonuments, which will enable historians and engineers to understand the
