In this study,construction students were introduced to artificial intelligence (AI) techniques and how they can beused for predicting the properties of construction materials in a construction course. First, thestudents were presented with a basic knowledge of AI for predicting the strength of constructionmaterials.

Theapproach to modified mastery learning outlined in this article accomplishes two important items.First, the flexibility afforded to the instructor when adopting modified mastery learning meansthat cost savings may be accomplished in the use of institutional resources while accommodatinga diversity of student learning preferences. Second, while traditional approaches fail to guaranteethat every student master every concept, the modified mastery learning style not only maintains –but in
