to cutting edge technology currently beingused by progressive industries, give students experience working in teams and making bothwritten and oral presentations. These objectives are in line with the ABET requirements forcapstone courses: (1) “draw together diverse elements of the curriculum,” and (2) “developstudent competence in focusing both technical and non-technical skills in solving problems.” TheSenior Design capstone course is a two semester course pair required of all graduating seniors inthe degree program. Students in these courses closely follow actual construction projects over thenine month course duration. Students choose from projects in commercial construction,residential subdivision construction, heavy highway or

to identify the knowledge domain for undergraduate and graduate degreeprograms. A construction engineering and management BOK has not been previouslyestablished. As part of a longitudinal review of the construction curriculum, a BOK regardingthe technical aspects of construction management has been defined based on a review of therequirements of multiple accrediting bodies. Four principal knowledge areas (cost estimating,construction scheduling and control, project administration, and contract documents) wereidentified as representing particular sectors of construction management for which there is a setof knowledge and skills. A process for defining program outcomes based on the BOK andcourse learning objectives based on program outcomes

This study utilized an online survey which was sent to 236construction firms drawn from the top 400 contractors listed in the 2008 Engineering NewsRecord (ENR) who were identified as having over 80% of their projects categorized as generalbuilding 2. The study utilized the following expanded utilization-level categorization: level 1(use of BIM technology that is limited to 2D and 3D capabilities for document production andvisualization functions), level 2 (use of BIM for additional analysis done on the 2D and 3D datathat is based on geometry and positioning of building systems including change management of2D and 3D documents, and conflict/clash detection between different

addition, many conventional curriculumsfor CEM education rely on traditional teaching methods such as lecturing,seminars, and group project work. In this informational learning, it is asignificant challenge for educators to get students engaged in learning.Innovative and Transformative LearningConstruction can be defined as a highly complex system which has a widespectrum of interrelated elements with multiple feedback loops and non-linearrelationships. In addition, construction is a difficult environment to summarizedue to differences of scale, nature, environment, society, etc. For these reasons, ithas been a challenge for construction educators to provide learning environmentsin which students can experience such complexity in the classroom.
