During the Great Recession, enrollments increased whilst public (tax-based) funding wasreduced (Barr and Turner 2013).The Bureau of Labor Statistics collects data on the number of construction workers employed, overalland in different sectors. In the past fifty years, construction has increased in dollars and employmentoverall. But as many workers in the construction industry will note, there have been downturns whichresulted in job loss. While the overall construction job market is used as a metric, there is not a similardataset for summer internships. In fact, employment numbers are seasonally

showed that the students as a group became more collaborative in their conflict management styles between their junior and senior years.IntroductionMarket forces within the construction industry are demanding more collaborative environments.Construction Management at Risk, Design/Build, Lean Construction, and Integrated ProjectDelivery (IPD), now account for most of all construction contracts.1 In particular, IPD requires asignificant level of collaboration to succeed. However, these increasingly collaborative projectdelivery systems do not ensure collaboration. For example, Lean Construction proponentsfrequently employ the principles of IPD and have positively impacted the construction industry,but success does not occur on every

(CM) graduate spends approximately four years building her/histechnical expertise, with little to no time devoted to communication training. For this reason,this research seeks to integrate an objective communication activity in CM curricula thatmake up for this gap. This research has proven to advance CM students’ formalcommunication skills by creating an engaging educational environment through VirtualReality (VR) presentation simulations. An initial benchmark survey was administered to 327STEM students at a minority serving institution, to understand the impact of students’ socio-demographics on their presentation skills. Then, a pilot study was offered to 60 CM students,in which they were required to participate in VR Presentation

engineeringeducation [9]. In the context of teaching design concepts, which can be rather open-ended,the concept of inductive learning and students drawing conclusions from specific examplesis particularly suitable. Considering Design Days, providing this learning experience at theonset of the students’ formal education has potential to impact their approach to futureinstruction and their ability to grasp concepts, especially in their first design studio course.Additionally, the event drew on the concept of reflective learning, which is a common themewithin architectural pedagogy. The design critiques, final design review, and the model loadtesting provided opportunities for the students to reflect on different aspects of their work,and at different stages of

For students to become engaged in a course,the instructor should establish a variety of course activities with peers and the instructor thatbuilds a sense of community. Collaborative group activities should increase commensurately with the reliance on online communications The notion is that an online class needs more group activities than a hybrid class, and a hybrid class needs more group activities than a seated in-person class. For example, collaborative activities in an online class could range from threaded discussion boards for the

This paper presents an overview of the program curriculum and discusses challengesencountered and lessons learned in the program development and implementation to date.Highlights of the challenges faced include issues such as: attracting students to a new programwhere there are relatively few current examples to point to (in Canada) of well-established careerpaths, marketing lower year students of this new program to prospective coop employers

Theprofessional context for students taking the course reflects emerging professional ethics andbusiness models emphasizing sustainable and resilient community development. To meet theseprofessional and environmental challenges, students need to be prepared to lead in the design andmanagement of high-performance buildings and districts.1.1 The need for an Inter-Disciplinary course on Sustainable Technology

. Within Group Collaboration - During the first assignment, the technical reports were put together piecemeal instead of collaboratively. To resolve this, additional required scheduled meetings were added where the instructors and the graduate assistants could observe each group’s interactions and provide additional guidance and feedback.To gauge the impact of these formative changes, students in all three groups (Control Group,Experimental Group 1, and Experimental Group 2) were administered Pre- and Post-AttitudeSurveys on their views of collaborative learning. Although engagement in collaborative learningwas a focus of the formative assessment, we were also interested in investigating whether use ofthe technologies in

Although many effortshave been taken to increase STEM interest and STEM career pursuit, shortages in the STEMfield continue to exist. STEM fields do not attract and retain enough workers from youngergenerations.[3],[4],[5] As a result, the current and estimated supply to the STEM workforce doesnot meet the growing demand.
