The slogan for the College of Engineering is “Educating Leaders, CreatingKnowledge, Serving Society” and hence we aimed to meet the need to develop alumni withstrong leadership skills.In an effort to address these problems and meet the user requirements, we joined efforts with ourfellow student leaders and created Building Engineers and Mentors (BEAM), which is now astudent organization, and a course at the university.

construction contracting and project delivery hasrecently resulted in fundamental changes in how contractors can estimate and bid on constructionprojects. With the introduction of Electronic Plan Room (ePlan Room), construction estimatingand bidding projects has become a lot quicker and simpler. Due to the availability of 24-HourInternet access, contractors can review several projects in a short time, and bid on the jobs thatthey are serious about. On-Screen take-offs can be done using an easy-to-use system, andcontractors can optimize their efforts by saving on travel and labor costs thus resulting in moresuccessful construction project bids.
