Advisory BoardIntroductionVirtually all construction companies use some form of software to complete constructionquantity take-offs and cost estimates. The array of available software is quite extensive [1]. Theavailable software poses several challenges for their selection, installation, and use.Construction firms must consider several variables and the stakes are very high as these tools canfundamentally change how a company does business, which directly affects the bottom line [2][3]. In order to stay current with the industry, academic institutions must follow the industry’slead by adopting current and relevant software and integrating these technologies into thecurriculum. Thus, academia faces the same software selection challenges as does

Roselli et al [1] summarizes some of the most important technologies participatingin the implementation of the IoT paradigm. These technologies are: Radio FrequencyIDentification (RFID), Green Electronics (GE), Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) and EnergyHarvesting (EH).

This two course sequence is exclusively based on Structured ProgramingMethodology (SPM). The pedagogical underpinning for these courses is in strict adherence to theStructured Programing model, and is based on the interdependence among problem solving,cognition, and program (software design) development [1].Presented is a learning model that these courses adhere to for the purpose of Problem Solvingboth in general and specific to Engineering and Technology. Cognitive skills are developed,honed, and enforced by practicing the SPM. The model aptly taps

Subsequently, the students chose topics the first week of Septemberand provided rough drafts the first week of October which received peer and faculty reviews.Finally, the project was turned in the Monday of Thanksgiving week. It should be noted that thevideo was not peer reviewed.The survey required students to self-assess three main topics: communication skills, studentinterest/engagement and project value/format using a Likert scale (Genereux 2014) shown inTable 1.

There is a growing need to replace an aging constructionworkforce and shortfall in skilled tradespeople, especially considering many do not considerconstruction an ideal career choice. A vital point often overlooked is the underlying motivation topursue STEM or CM as a career choice. Despite attempts, there is an opportunity to gain deeperinsights from individuals in CM degree programs. This study explores the following research questions:1) What are the common attributes of college students that decide to pursue CM degrees; and, 2) Whatkey motivational drivers that encourage students to remain in STEM majors?

However, there are issues and challenges in choosingwhich family of microcontrollers to select, such as Microchip PIC, Arduino ATMEL, ARM etc.for engineering education and training. The Texas Instruments (TI) ARM M4 microcontroller was selected because the NSF I-CorpL project results indicated that the academic community needed a new advanced microcontrollerplatform to meet industry technical training demands [1].

Second, Making brings with it experimentation through tinkering, iterative development,and prototyping [4].

to 1950’s [1] researchers started to explore this technology. Simplyspeaking, computer vision deals with the technology that mimics the capabilitiesof a human (normal) vision system. Naturally, a normal human being is equippedwith sensors for five different sensing capabilities (vision, smell, taste, touch, andhear). These capabilities are controlled by the central nervous system (brain)allowing a human being to demonstrate intelligent behavior. By default, thevision system of a human being is three dimensional and it uses two eyes thatwork as sensors (detectors) to capture images. Earlier computer vision systemused only one camera along with the associated computational platform andsoftware and therefore, it dealt largely with two
