By presenting and publishing this paper,the authors hope to learn from similar programs in practice, share our experiences, and perhapsinspire others to try such ventures.Literature reviewMany construction educators understand that learning through service can be very effective,providing students with opportunities to practice professional and independent learning skills inthe context of “real world” problems which they all seem to enjoy. According to Scott Stanfordet al. [1], service learning is one of the four emerging trends in engineering capstone courses,along with technology, multidisciplinary projects

Education, 2020 A Construction Management Competition as the Basis of a Capstone Culminating EventCulminating design events serve as a hallmark of most undergraduate engineering programs.This paper presents a case study of a novel approach to conduct a compressed-timeframeculminating event just prior to graduation. The event is designed to leverage best practices inliterature related to team-building, competitions, student leadership, real-project case studies, andhigh-impact practices. The culminating event takes place at the conclusion of a two-semestercapstone sequence. In the middle of this two-semester sequence, 12 students from a class ofroughly 40-50 participate in the intercollegiate Associated Schools of

seem to be a large gap in theknowledge that a finance student has versus what they will be required to know in order to enterinto the construction management field. However, there are many advantages that a financestudent can bring to a construction engineering and management program. Finance students aretaught to think critically and analyze every detail of a company in order to determine its valueboth in the short term and the long term. A construction project is managed much like acompany. By the end of the project, the goal is to build a product on schedule, on budget, and percontract. Finance students are trained to identify how and where profit can be made throughcritical analysis of financial statements. A large portion of the work a

construction professionals deal with adiverse group of professionals in architecture, engineering and construction. In addition, there isan expectation within the construction industry of 18% growth in the use of Design-Builddelivery method over the years of 2018 to 2021 [2]. Design-Build can be considered a morecollaborative delivery method than Design-Bid-Build due to the engagement of contractor anddesigner during the initial development of a project. The rise in use of more collaborativedelivery methods, such as Design-Build, Construction Management at Risk, Integrated ProjectDelivery, as well as previous research [3], [4] indicates the need for improving collaborationfrom an industry perspective.
