the other hand, theUnited States reflects its competition individually, creating a culture where everyone"strives to be the best they can be" and that "the winner takes all" [26].Uncertainty avoidance in Ecuador is relatively high which means that it uses differentmechanisms to avoid ambiguity, in this culture emotions are expressed openly andconservatism prevails even though the rules are not always respected, about itscollectivist characteristic this also reflects that the traditions of each group are alwayshighly respected [18]. The United States, on the other hand, is below average, whichmeans that its members accept new ideas and try new things; this can also be seen in thehigh level of innovation and creation of new products in the

bridge the skills required forboth. This article explores the role of using Mind Mapping in lecture-based courses toconnect with the knowledge of hands-on courses. During Fall 22, researchers used mindmapping in 4 courses of construction III (62 junior students) and 1 course of ConstructionsI (18 sophomore students). This study analyses the outcome of students’ performance interms of the knowledge highlighted in their mind maps and the application in their exams.Finally, instructors conducted a survey to inquire students about their perception about therole mind mapping plays in their learning and course performance. The authors reflect onthe design of the intervention and explore the avenues academia could take to form newpedagogical approaches

needs with consideration of public health, safety, andwelfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors, and (SO 6) todemonstrate an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpretdata, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.Introduction The design and construction sectors deliver services based on a profit model. Despite this,economic analysis in architectural design instruction is severely lacking. The standards thatgovern economic analysis in architectural design, professional, and instructional activities areambiguous at best. This is reflected by the accreditation standards for professional programsoverseen by the National Architectural Accreditation Board (NAAB

successful? The depth of knowledge is shown across responses asindicated by a sufficient depth and breadth of knowledge and technical expertise comments. Otherrespondents mentioned technical rigor or examples of advanced skills, such as disciplinary engineeringsoftware. Attitude is reflected in the fact that a serious attitude to study or work can make graduates standout and thus make them successful. The multidisciplinary setting replies suggest that students' exposure todifferent disciplines helps to build a holistic understanding of design and construction. Respondents feltthat this 'exposure to different disciplines' setup would enable students to excel and succeed based on theirability to interact with others and to develop better solutions

practice has not yet been evaluated to see if it is making any changes, it can bemeasured by comparing the reflection surveys taken after finishing this course in the previousyears and after infusing NACE competencies into the course syllabus in the Fall semester of2023. The future study can use the findings of the reflection survey to discuss the success of thispractice. This study introduces a process and challenges through which professors andinstructors can evaluate and modify their course outcomes to help prepare students for theircareers.ReferencesBiggs, J.

reasons suchas: • “To stay current in the latest trends,” • “To keep the course relevant” • “Important to stay current with the industry”, and • “… the class should be constantly updated to reflect the trends in market shifts, labor forces, software and tools, and many, many more changes.”But not all comments regarding these changes were related to topic content. Of the 24individuals who stated that they update course content every 4 to 5 years, fifteen (15) providedsome explanation to that extent. From these comments, two (2) of the fifteen (or 13.3%),described reasons that relate to updates in the delivery of the course (“Means and Methods”) andnot course content. Similarly, from the 28 participants who stated they update

Preconceived Notions – Some reports clearly reflected the team’s preconceived notions of theproject goals or requirements. Project narrative was ignored by some teams. Many groups ignore privacyand thermal comfort issues mentioned as critical concerns in the project brief and proposal opening the doorright after a shower similar to their practice at home. Some team even suggests bringing in box fans blowingair into the bathroom. Ineffective Internal Team Collaboration – In student teams, collaboration rarely resulted in evendistribution of work and, by inference, learning

The results are then presented in a visualmap or table, providing an overview of the research landscape in the field, identifying knowledgegaps and areas of potential future research. We look forward to conducting such a study, so wecan learn and grow as a BIM and AEC community.ConclusionsWe believe that research and reflective practice are crucial for evolving the field of digitalconstruction. We believe that research generated by students and academics at TU Dublin ishelping improve the knowledge base in Ireland. The research that is available via the university’sdigital repository is helping the TU Dublin community share knowledge with others, as are thestudents and teachers who prepare
