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

50% of universityprograms in construction had a dedicated course in construction. In 1998, a surveyinvestigation by Coble et al. [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

whileparticipation in a focused STEM program in college further increases this persistence (Ikuma etal., 2019).Self-efficacy and confidence are recognized as important factors in the effective teaching andlearning of math and science, especially for women and minorities (Alhaddab and Alnatheer,2015). As noted by Bandura (Bandura 1977), self-efficacy, “the strength of people's convictionsin their own effectiveness”, is likely to have a significant impact in STEM education (Tärning etal., 2019, Hanifa et al., 2020). Over the years, several methods and technologies have beenutilized to increase the effectiveness of mathematics curriculum including, integrated subject-based methods (Chai et al., 2019), mobile technologies (Menon et al., 2017), computer

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.

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

gained. When students are involved in creating new artifacts, they are actively engaged in the subject matter. • Evaluate: At this stage, students are asked to judge an idea. This may involve predicting, experimenting, critiquing, or making an argument from evidence. • Analyze: Students begin to develop higher order thinking. They may be asked to compare and contrast or take a concept and break it into parts to explore the relationships present. • Apply: At this level, students begin to put the information they are learning into context. Here they are able to integrate ideas across multiple situations, or utilize the content in a new way. • Understand: At this level, students demonstrate that

However, infrastructure projects have typically been left out ofsustainable construction and teaching efforts, which may be due to the many additionalchallenges that integrating sustainability into an infrastructure project can represent.Sustainable infrastructure (SI) and infrastructure management (IM) are typically seen as twodifferent and distinct topics, and yet these are strongly related. Coupling FEP and sustainabilitypractices can significantly increase project performance. In fact, existing sustainable ratingsystems [i.e. Leadership in Energy and

This module was developed by the constructionengineering faculty in conjunction with a newly offered degree in construction engineering.The Citadel recently launched a construction engineering degree program within the Departmentof Civil and Environmental Engineering. The first two years of the curriculum is commonbetween the civil and construction engineering programs. The “Introduction to CivilEngineering” course is an example of the connection that extends until the completion of theirsophomore year courses, nearly without consequence to their graduation date if they

delivercontent. In construction engineering education, the curriculum ranges from the means andmethods for a construction process, to line items required for estimating a task, the time it takesto schedule an activity, to the required temporary structures for the completion of a constructionproject. As such, faculty should be engaging with a variety of learning styles in developing theirclass activities. Students in Construction Management/Engineering, and Architecture programsgenerally prefer two learning styles; visual and kinesthetic [1]. For this reason, the researchersdecided to develop an educational prop to instruct the means and methods required to construct aone-story concrete building, focusing on formwork, and placement of reinforcement
