instructors recognize some of the learning struggles that students must overcome. • Multiple grading scales provide course assessment possibilities that can accurately reflect student mastery of the covered material in spite of their learning style(s).TAARs • The process of working through quizzes individually first and then in carefully arranged teams seems to be a very good mechanism for facilitating active discussion and peer teaching among students. • Embracing TAARs as a primary teaching tool does require the instructor to give up some lecture time, so courses need to be planned accordingly to fit nicely within the semester schedule; text and class material that are used should be accessible for students

Thus, team-at-a-distance teaching supports experiential learning techniques and moreeffectively incorporates the knowledge and life lessons provided by the non-traditional studentsinto the content of the course.In a distance broadcast learning environment, the team-at-a-distance approach further supports alearner centered environment and diffuses impressions of hierarchy that can arise between“originating” and “receiving” or “satellite” sites. With an instructor(s) present at eachparticipating site (each regional campus), all sites enjoy a perception of equal importance andstature, and a mutual sense of support. Periodically throughout the course, all sites, at times, willbe originating and, at other

Sketch-up to complete course work [6]. In a recent study, procedures of using bothAutodesk Revit and Vico Virtual Construction Software Suite [7] to fulfill specific body ofknowledge (BOK) for the ConE education were presented [8].However, there are few studies conducted to investigate how one BIM solution can fulfill ConEBOK. This is a significant constraint hindering the use and adoption of the BIM technology inConE curricula.To address this issue, this paper is to answer the following main research questions: 1. What are the limitations of most widely used BIM software packages? 2. How to use the selected BIM software package(s) to fulfill specific body of knowledge (BOK) for the ConE education?MethodologyIn this study, a BIM model

Professional Development (ECPD and today’s ABET)quickly implemented changes that resulted in a shift from the practical aspects of engineeringthat were taught in the laboratory to an increased emphasis on theory and basic science.2In the 1970’s with the completion of the moon mission and the cancellation of major engineeringprojects such as the supersonic transport, engineering education saw a significant decline infunding and as a result, many schools reduced laboratory requirements to save money. At thesame time, industry demanded more practical skills and in response, many education institutionsdeveloped technology programs. The boundaries between engineers and technologist becameblurred and so ECPD began to accredit two and four year programs
