at Illinois State University. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 Learning Concrete in Construction Management Course Through Bowling Ball ProjectAbstractConstruction Management programs usually offer a Materials course which includes hands-onconcrete technology laboratory involving series of experiments (e.g., compressive strength,flexural strength) to obtain strength of concrete specimens. However, Materials course lackshands-on activity discussing concrete forming, and effect of mix design and ingredients on thefresh and hardened properties of concrete. In this study, a fiber-reinforced concrete bowling ballproject was implemented in a Construction Material

recent years, there has been a shift of pedagogicalemphasis in engineering away from the laboratory and small group sessions to lecture based andweb-based education [3]. This is thought to be due to several reasons, including larger class sizes,cost of maintenance and upgrading laboratories, and poor alignment of laboratory and lectureoutcomes [4]. On the other hand, students around the world used to learn only theory, which ledthem to have little experience in practicing what is seen in theory [5–9]. According to Shaaban,Practical experience by the hand of theory can be more advantageous for students rather thantheory alone [10]. By interacting with a professor who has had field experience, too, students canbe motivated and have a better

This living laboratory not only provides valuable learning experiences for constructionmanagement students but also serves as an attractive marketing point. Eventually, the campus canaspire to become a net-zero facility, enhancing the learning and working experiences for occupantswhile empowering students to carry firsthand sustainable practices into society, therebycontributing to a more sustainable future. Construction management students will benefit the mostfrom a

, Construction curriculum, Faculty Externship. VDCIntroductionThe construction management curriculum is a blend of courses requiring hands-on laboratories,software tools, theoretical lectures, and deeper learning on project management tools. Thesetools and techniques constantly upgrade with newer technologies, computing breakthroughs, andintensifications. The American Council for Construction Education (ACCE) establishes studentlearning outcomes (slos) to standardize construction education at 2-year, 4-year, and master'sdegree programs at different institutions. While ACCE focuses more on the core concepts andtheories through its accreditation requirements, it is essential to understand that technologicaladvancements have been pivotal in managing

Exploring Sleep Health in Construction Students: A Pilot Study Saeed Rokooei, Raheleh Miralami, and George Ford Mississippi State University Research shows that an adequate and healthy sleep routine has a significant impact on general health and performance. Yet, the importance of sleep health is often underestimated in educational settings, as some courses may demand long hours of preparation and out-of-class work. This is especially evident in courses with physical work or laboratory activities where a set amount of time is not allocated for educational activities, and students may have to spend significant time outside
