by the engineer in the design.ConclusionLaser scanning technology has been used in various engineering fields. However, thistechnology is not widely used in education due to the high cost of the hardware and the hightechnical expertise required for data processing. The continuous evolution of this technologyover the years made it more affordable for use in the classroom. Laser scanning providesexcellent opportunities to enhance the construction engineering management curriculum. Thispaper presents an extensive literature review on laser scanning technology applications andevaluates the feasibility of integrating it in the construction engineering managementcurriculum. It was found that seven out of the 20 student learning outcomes required

Design-Build can be considered a morecollaborative delivery method than Design-Bid-Build due to the engagement of contractor anddesigner during the initial development of a project. The rise in use of more collaborativedelivery methods, such as Design-Build, Construction Management at Risk, Integrated ProjectDelivery, as well as previous research [3], [4] indicates the need for improving collaborationfrom an industry perspective.

ARCE curriculum requires upper-division students to complete three structural design labcourses on steel, timber/masonry, and concrete. In each, students have a culminating projectwhere they assemble a complete calculation and drawing package for an assigned building; thesesubmittals often involve 2-3 students and hundreds of pages of documents. The ARCE 451faculty elected to grade student submittals in Bluebeam (a tool utilized in the industry review andpermitting process) to provide feedback to the students. Adopting this grading methodologymeant that hardcopy paper student submittals were replaced by PDF files containing drawingsand scans of hand calculations, which the students organized in Bluebeam and then uploaded toPolyLearn.Student

However, studio-basedcurricula are an anomaly in construction education; there are only two construction programs inthe U.S. with a studio- or project-based curriculum. Despite this, construction managementprograms present an ideal environment in which to apply the studio pedagogical model. Thecomplexity of the construction industry and its processes and the fact that project-based learningis appropriate to a process that requires multiple players to collaborate to design, create, produce,and provide physical buildings underscores the appropriateness of this educational model.Studios are based on several key unique characteristics of their relative

[11] looked at 4-year ACCE-accredited construction programsand the extent with which safety is integrated in their curriculum. The results showed that atthe time 45 of the 55 programs had a dedicated course in safety, primarily offered at thejunior/senior level, concentrating on OSHA standards for construction. Less than half of theprograms at the time provided an OSHA outreach training certificate to the students, while75% of the program faculty surveyed stated that they address safety in other courses.A survey of employers from 27 firms was conducted in 1998 by Smith and Arnold [12],which focused on the

The ArchitecturalDesign course replaced an older architectural drafting course and focused on residential designfrom 1990-2014. Students designed a house for a client or their future selves as a vehicle tolearn computer-aided drafting (CAD).
