. Also, they stated that BIM should be taught earlier in their bachelor’s, as the earlier itcan be implemented, the better students can be prepared for their careers. Finally, studentsemphasized the importance of gaining more proficiency in BIM software during theirundergraduate education.ConclusionThis study thoroughly identified solutions that the AEC industries have developed forincorporating BIM in their engineering projects. Also, the study considered the perspective ofsenior students regarding how BIM was delivered during a Senior Design Class and throughouttheir undergraduate education at UA. It is also concluded that the AEC industry is utilizing thistechnology because it was proved that BIM is a solution to transform the traditional

to Foster Sustainable, Equitable, and Resilient Infrastructure ConceptsAbstractThis study aims to position active learning as a potential approach for teaching equitableresilience of infrastructure projects through online courses within construction curricula.Exposure to active learning methods can significantly enhance the problem-solving abilities ofconstruction management (CM) students, preparing them for complex technical challenges intheir future careers. Additionally, such interactive teaching strategies can help students retaininformation about advanced and practical concepts. However, in online learning environments,keeping students engaged poses a unique challenge. Unlike in-person classes

stress and frustration. Sauter et al. in [13], made seven recommendations forpreventing work-related stress and they include 1) ensuring that the workload is in line with workers’capabilities and resources, 2) having a clearly defined work schedule, 3) clearly defining roles andresponsibilities, 4) clear communication about job security and opportunities for career development, 5)allowing for social interaction, 6) design jobs to provide meaning, stimulation, and opportunities forworkers to use their skills, and 7) participation in decisions and actions affecting their jobs. Therecommendation on ensuring that the workload is in line with workers’ capability and resources speaks tothe fact that the more knowledge resource an individual has the

Costestimating is required at all phases of a project irrespective of the project delivery methods. Studentsenrolled in construction-related programs must be trained on how to quantify, price, and bid projects justthe same way that practitioners do in real life. This requires crafting, designing, and teaching studentshands-on and immersive construction cost estimating

explore how they can collaborate with industry professionalsto contribute to a more practical and industry-relevant educational experience [50]. Additionally,it is important to investigate how AR integration affects students' performance in real-worldconstruction settings and what long-term effects it has on their career readiness and success inthe field.ConclusionsThis study reviewed the research articles on AR in CM education published during the pastdecade. The analysis of article frequency from 2013-2023 uncovers a rising research interest andincreased investment in AR applications within the field. The state-of-the-art assessmentprovides valuable insights into current practices and innovations, showcasing the diverse ways ofusing AR to
