Traditional lecture-based coursework focuses on providing a solidtheoretical foundation and analytical skills for each of the various disciplines. On the other hand,laboratory courses and engineering design courses are often used to teach communication andteamwork skills4.

The FCC followed this by creating a band of 20television channels (known as the Instructional Television Fixed Service) to deliver low costcourses to the nation in 1963. New technologies have enabled the development of many newsynchronous and asynchronous methods.With the new technologies available for delivering distance education, there is relatively nolimitation to the development of delivery systems that can cater to all learning and teachingstyles.

VC2L.ConclusionBuilding Information Modeling is a process which aids the integration, collaboration and projectmanagement for the Architecture, Engineering and Construction industries. Its benefit is beingseen in the construction industry and increasingly companies are adapting it. As the demandincreases, it is becoming even more important for a construction curriculum to allow thetraditional methods of education to incorporate technology and skills for future growth. To allowfor the existing heavy workload of the undergraduate program of Construction Management(CM) to absorb BIM, it is important to integrate it throughout the curriculum.

The overall objectives of the research are to measure ifimprovements in student learning outcomes, student engagement, and course completionrates are possible if the structure in a basic materials engineering course is transformedfrom primarily deductive practice to an Information Communication Technology (ICT)enabled inductive teaching and learning environment. There are two major componentsof this research project. The first
