The survey results indicated that only six students had learned about the ATC methodin their workplace and the rest of the 50 students reported not being aware of such contractdelivery practice. For the first question, approximately 22 students reported that advanced projectdelivery practices adopted in construction sites should be part of both undergraduate andgraduate studies curricula as shown in Figure 6. While around 10 students also indicated thatsuch methods are more complex and should only be part of the graduate studies curriculum.Since the primary goal of the ATC concept is to improve project quality, reduce project costs andpropose a design

Technological skills are becomingmore important for new graduates looking to enter the industry. New hires should be familiarwith technologies in the following areas: design and jobsite visualization (e.g., BIM, VR,AR), mobile communication, wearable sensors, smart sensors, and the various productionequipment and technologies used on projects. Incorporation of these technologies intocoursework should be a priority for academic programs. Emphasis

Students receive case studies in fatigue and impacts to safety, productivity, and performance. During this first day of the module students take the Epworth Sleepiness Scale [18] to determine their own sleepiness and then learn principles of sleep hygiene so they can become better sleepers and improve their own productivity. In the second day of the module, shift work and schedule rotation are defined, and best practices discussed. Student volunteers agree to wear wrist actigraphs every night for two weeks to measure their sleep. The student volunteers also agree to have their results shared with the

Unfamiliarity andmisconceptions about professional roles brings conflicts during practice and also increasesstudents’ doubts about their level of knowledge and capabilities [4].

This paper presents a case study of a novelapproach to conduct a compressed-timeframe culminating event just prior to graduation, in thecontext of a two-semester capstone sequence. The culminating event is designed to leverage best practices in literature related to team-building, competitions, student leadership, real-project case studies, and high-impact practices.Literature related to these practices is embedded throughout the paper as it describes the overallstructure and design.

On the contrary,some researchers have expressed their concerns about the negative impacts of intensive courses. Theybelieve academic quality is compromised by the efficiency of time and cost. Additionally, another issuereported about intensive courses is their intrinsic requirement for a high level of self-discipline and self-regulation which impacts the success of students lacking self-management skills as compared withtraditional course formats. However, there are not ample research studies addressing the preference ofcourses with physical activities and hands-on experiences in an intensive format offered in a regularsemester.

, and inappropriate construction practices [3], [4]. Furthermore, proper planning forinfrastructure projects, or better-called infrastructure management (IM), is often not met due tothe complexity of such projects, thus causing schedule overruns and failure to meet theforecasted budgets. Research shows that, despite the usual practices, the best way to deliver aproject is focusing on the Front-End Planning (FEP) phase, prior to authorizing its funding andsubsequent construction [5], [6]. The FEP of a project is a fundamental process of scopedefinition so that the stakeholders can address and minimize risks to accomplish improvedproject outcomes [7]. Applying FEP practices to infrastructure projects is vital for thedevelopment of these projects
