We would expect stakeholders whohave frequent direct communication with members of the core team and problem owner to exerthigher levels of influence on design decisions than stakeholders who have indirectcommunication channels.A point of departure from conventional social network analysis for our study is that we considerthe role of stakeholder surrogates as part of the social network.

By analyzing the behavior of framers from various industry companies, he found that safety is held at the same level of importance as productivity. He is also interested in educational contributions and opportunities towards integrating field-level construction knowledge in BIM models and exploring their benefits in classroom environment with expertise feedback from jobsite project managers.Ms. Sunitha Jain, Hill International Sunitha Jain has a diverse background in Construction Management and Architecture with over 4 years of Industry experience.

These two courses have the goal of immersingthe students in the real-life engineering problems where they are engaged in systematicapplication of the principles of design and solving open-ended problems for specificsituations and/or needs and in utilizing knowledge acquired during their studies at theUniversity. Design is about testing ideas, failures and successes and solving problems asthese appear during the semester. Decisions have to be made at each step of the process,compromises must be reached among the team members, optimization of components isdone and ultimately the project must be fabricated, tested and it must perform as stipulated,that is the requirement that the department has imposed on

ExperiencesAuthenticity [1] is a goal for many instructors when developing design experiences for first yearengineering students. Some of the perception of authenticity comes through the clients, eitherreal or imagined, with real clients having an understandable advantage in this perception. For thisreason, many institutions pull in industry partners looking to solve real world problems.However, for smaller classes of first year students, it can be difficult to draw in industry partners.In such cases, instructors may instead look to service learning opportunities [2], partnering withlocal community members as clients. In this paper, the author discusses one such partnership andtakes a five-year retrospective look at the projects and the process used from the

Tollgates to move from one phase ofthe process to another were utilized in managing the project. This process helped ensure that aneed to backtrack did not occur.

The projects included an attempt to explorea contrarian viewpoint by evaluating “bad” plastics, design of a shower without electricity and thedesign of a heat exchanger for commercial scale brewery. The projects were all evaluated usingstudent surveys and post implementation reflection by the faculty.
