Studentsindicated that they sought teaching experiences to gain experience for their future (either in theirSTEM field or in education), to help others, or for self-development (including self-reflection orincreasing income). Three students did not feel that they had a sense of belonging in theircurrent departments. Students perceived teachers to possess strong social skills and

After each assignment a survey was given to the students toexpress their understanding of the new tools and concepts, and development of relatedcompetencies.

Inthis paper we focus on the results of the competencies.Results: The data gathered through the instrument indicate that self-reported level of developedcompetencies fluctuated throughout the semester.

This is shown through statements such as“further engages students in their education”20, “offers students the opportunity to discover”14and develop “the student into an action-driver leader”21. These emphasize the fact that regardlessof how well designed an engineering program is, the responsibility to learn rests with thestudents7. It can also help students understand that they are capable and can succeed, but there isalways room for improvement and they must continue learning and improving3.

Such a model can be utilized to study alternative sequences, erection coordination and actual progress. Direct ties to scheduling software can be made, connecting scheduling activities to model components to “drive” the model. 5D: Five-dimensional. The “fifth dimension” generally describes quantity and cost information that is derived from or applied to a BIM model. Current software allows many quantities to be generated directly from a 3D model. Other quantities can be generated

Thequestionnaire was scored on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the highest. The questionnaire consists ofquestions that are worded from the individual students’ perspective, “I understand…” or “I cancomplete…”.

Although all available TAs participated, thisresulted in a much smaller sample size than anticipated with only 6 TA responses. Anotherresult of the reduced TA positions was many students surveyed did not currently have a TAassigned to their course. These students were asked to reflect on prior experiences with TAs toguide their responses. Care was also taken to remind students that the survey was intended toassess their perceptions of TAs in general, not a specific evaluation of their current TA.The Likert scale questions were analyzed using frequency distributions of
