Studio A is atwelve hours laboratory which presents an introduction to construction materials and methods,construction drawing and modeling, building systems, project life cycles and management, andprofessional thinking and action. Studio B is also a twelve hours laboratory in which the development ofbuilding assemblies and construction sequencing, drawings and computer applications, projectmanagement skills, and professional thinking and

ubiquitous technology, mobile devices, into construction managementcoursework shows much promise [9,10,11]. However, the literature only provides two specificexamples of how mobile devices have actually been incorporated [5,12]. Reyes et al. (2015) [5]describe the incorporation of iPads into an undergraduate blueprint reading course, and foundthat students were more efficient in completing the class exercise when able to familiarizethemselves with a hard set of blueprints ahead of working with the blueprints on a mobile device.Cline and Davis (2013) [12] describe the integration of iPads into a construction materials andmethods laboratory course. They stated that the incorporation of iPads (1) facilitatedcommunications between the student and the

In short, the SNA tool will contribute to the development andunderstanding of how classroom activities support and foster student social engagement whichsupports learning gains and an inclusive environment.2 Background2.1 Social EngagementStudent engagement with a college course can come in many forms and occur inside and outsideof the classroom. The classroom experience can range from entirely composed of lectures to thosehaving only interactive activities. Students may additionally attend laboratory, recitation, orcomparable sessions. Students may engage in a multitude of ways with class material outside ofthe classroom to include working in groups

This approach facilitates the development of communication, people, andcollaborative skills and in overall it contributes to the leadership development. The classroomenvironment turns into a laboratory where the desired leadership characteristics of today’sprojects are discussed.   The recent dynamics in the construction industry bring the expectation of constructionprofessionals’ leadership starting from the early design phase and continuing through the post-construction phase which includes the “useful life” of a building. This expectation necessitatesconstruction professionals to handle

Following this, after a waiting period of twoweeks, all students will be given an unannounced pop quiz about the Dayanta, with the resultsbeing compared between the groups to look at the impact of the interactive system on both short-term and longer-term memory. Given this heuristic study, the authors believe this research willcontribute to a better understanding of the use of 3D models and interactive media containingthem in undergraduate instruction.7.

The involved team is developing a targetedcurriculum to achieve these goals.To implement this initiative, the three university campuses established a collaborativeintercampus cooperation platform. This agreement will allow faculty from the campuses todevelop an integrated curriculum that will enhance the educational experience. Each of thesecampuses offers a different educational component relevant to the interaction required to trainstudents to provide integrated design solutions. One campus offers a bachelor’s degree onEnvironmental Design. Another one offers degrees in Civil, Electrical, and Materials Scienceand Engineering, among others. The third campus (the

Formaleducation experiences included construction courses, professors, peers, laboratory projects,designing, sketching, site observation projects, Building Information Modelling (BIM), class andvolunteer experience, and student organizations. Through these experiences, students gainedknowledge and understanding of the principles and practices that guide the successfuldevelopment of construction projects. The strong links between formal education and industrialexperience opportunities contributed to students’ competencies, performance, and self-efficacy.Virtual experiences: Respondents indicated that virtual experiences that influenced their
