The authors noted that embedding BIM in theundergraduate capstone project is critical to keep students current with the industry.Wu and Issa explored the relationship between BIM education and student career development [7]. Throughthe survey with the educational and professional communities, the authors showed that there is significantattention in BIM adoption and implementation in educational and professional communities. The authorsalso concluded that a gap exists between college BIM education and the expectations from the AEC industryand recommended that a strong partnership between the educational and professional communities isrequired to improve the college BIM curricula to bridge the gaps

desire to achieve this degree started with working inthe construction industry during my summers off from school. In college, I decided to pursue adegree in finance. I was unsure about what I really wanted to do for the rest of my life, but Iknew that I was interested in the ability to analyze a company’s financial stability. Upongraduation, I knew that I wasn’t passionate enough about finance to make a career of it. I hadworked in the construction industry through three internships and knew that I had an interest inconstruction engineering. Through countless hours of talks with professors and administration, Icame to the decision to pursue a Master of Science in Construction Engineering andManagement. Due to my experience in the industry, there

Our measure of ADB is derived from three survey items (Cronbach's α = 0.901)accounting for 71% of the inter-item variance. One measure of ADB was, “I do not feel like ‘partof the family’ in my academic discipline.” Mean scores for ADB ranged from 2.94 to 3.03 withhigher scores indicating greater levels of belongingness. Similarly, peer interaction (PI) isderived from four survey items (Cronbach's α = 0.856) accounting for 62% of the inter-itemvariance, and mean scores ranged from 3.02 to 3.24. Higher scores indicate increased levels ofPI. PI was measure through items similar to, “I discuss career issues with peers.”AnalysisAfter the creation of factor

The skills gained by incorporatingthese approaches are critical for students looking to pursue a career in the construction industry.Felder et al. reinforced the notion that active learning is more effective than lecturing as studentscan gain a deeper understanding of the material [4]. They also stressed the importance of practiceand reflection in the learning process. Freeman et al. compared studies focused on undergraduatestudents in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) that used active learningtechniques and those that used traditional approaches [5]. Average examination scores increasedby 6% in the active learning sections, thus highlighting the importance of active learning inSTEM

The application of VR modeling contributes to improved communication betweenstakeholders in construction, which is often a source of scheduling issues. Allowing students toexperience this earlier in their education has the potential to encourage them to further use this toolin their career, which is why schools with construction studies in their curriculum may want toupdate their teaching methods with such available resources [20].

They were in support of the instructor continuing to useBluebeam to provide feedback in this course, and would recommend it as a grading method forother faculty of similar classes. These survey results suggest that ARCE students that are furtheralong in their academic careers, and have completed internships at structural engineering firmsthat utilize digital document management, are more receptive to electronic submissions. It is notunusual for them to scan hand calculations to compile with computer calculations and drawingsto submit as a single package online

commitment is not officially translated in credit hours and can result in an increased teaching load that administrators should take into consideration. This can have a significant impact in the careers of tenure-track faculty that have high research expectations.  The importance of alignment. Having a shared vision for the major was essential for the good development of the shared courses and modules, because both instructors could have a higher-level view of how all those contribute to the formation of the design- construction professional. For example, both instructors agreed upon a more design- oriented studio focused on residential construction because we both planned a more
