becomes available at the end of 2020, it will be compared toprevious class evaluations to determine if the modification of class activities to work within theconstraints of remote class delivery was an effective change to the class program and make a listof best practices to assist with future syllabus development for capstone courses.TEACHING CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT CAPSTONE REMOTE 4 Introduction The author has taught the capstone project course for Construction ManagementEngineering Technology (CM) students (CON496) for four years. The course descriptiondescribes the goals and outcomes as follows: This is a
-disciplinary, project-based engineering course (ENG 1P13)that is part of the first-year engineering program at McMaster University. This paper focusesspecifically on the materials science and engineering (MSE) aspect of the course. First yearstudents are exposed to MSE content through a series of realistic projects with supporting lab andlecture content. The course content has been adapted for online delivery during the pandemic.Insight into the effectiveness of teaching materials science within a multi-disciplinary projectenvironment and best practices for remote learning will be highlighted.1. Introduction Modern tools and technologies that facilitate remote learning provide educators withexciting opportunities to transform traditional
