praised by students and department for his outstanding teaching and research excellence. To supplement his teaching and research, he has been involved in numerous professional societies, including ASCE, ACI, ASEE, ASC, ATMAE and TRB. His research output has been well disseminated as he has published thirty journal papers and thirty-nine conference papers. His research interests are 1) Creating Innovative Sustainable Materials, 2) Structural BIM Integration, 3) 4D/5D BIM, 4) Virtual Testing Lab, 5) Innovative Construction Demolition, and 6) Carbon Footprint Analysis on Roadways.Dr. Rachel D.

CurriculumAbstractEnrollment figures for the construction program at Texas State University indicate an imbalancein the ratio between pre-majors and matriculated majors. The pre-major program is designed totake three semesters but contains two-thirds of the majors in the construction program. Thispaper reports on the work in progress self-study to determine the stumbling points for studentsin this pre-major program. Institutional research data will be used to identify courses in the pre-construction curriculum with the highest rates of students receiving unsatisfactory grades (D, F,or W) for credit in order to identify any courses creating an unintended gate to matriculation. Inaddition to the examination of course grades, student enrollment and retention data will

desired program outcomes will also be outlined.2.0 Curriculum OverviewFigure 1 presents an overview of the new architectural engineering program. Highlights of thisprogram include the following: 1) the students alternate between academic and coop work terms,with the exception of having two back-to-back academic terms in their fourth year; 2) each termfeatures a studio course – as mentioned earlier, each of these courses will involve the planningand execution of a series of design projects that integrate and put into practice concepts coveredin the other courses the students will be taking; 3) the core courses in the first two years are builton the established civil, environmental, and geological engineering programs at the sameinstitution, and

curriculumreform focuses on disseminating recent advanced practices while fostering the development ofcritical skills among CM students. To achieve this, approximately 59 undergraduate and graduatestudents are introduced to an advanced contract delivery module on ways of gaining competitivebenefits during procurement and construction project delivery of infrastructure projects. Aquestionnaire survey evaluated the necessity of integrating recent, novel, and advancedconstruction practices in the curriculum. The obtained data is analyzed through Ordinary leastsquare regression analysis by utilizing machine learning techniques such as Pearson’s correlationheat map, train-test split, and cross-validation to develop a logistic regression model.

training [11]. Thus, some students pursuing undergraduate and graduate courses inconstruction management may struggle to fully comprehend advanced concepts of programmingand AI languages. As such, during the development of a curriculum about automationtechnologies, programming, and AI techniques, socio-demographic background, and previousexperience in handling robotics technology should be considered to make the learning processeasier for CM students.Few studies have explored the benefits of integrating automation and simulation-relatedcurriculum that fosters technological skills among STEM students. For instance, an academicinstitution established a Robotics Academy to investigate the efficacy of various AI-basedlearning curriculum in the form of

and basic tools. Further, resources such as labspace, materials, and the time investment in working with these materials can present achallenge. Meyer shows the implementation of this strategy in a steel course by fabricating steelconnections from 1/8” thick plate and loading them to failure. [4] Stahl and DeVries discuss theadvantage to building a large frame and its many uses for full-scale structural testing at theMilwaukee School of Engineering. [5] Stahl’s paper also transparently outlined the numerousresources in both time and money that are required for such an instructional strategy. Estesshows this strategy implemented in a concrete structures course at the United States MilitaryAcademy. [6] This course heavily integrates fabrication
