diverse perspectives to bear on complex, real-world problems. In this paper, we explore the outcomes of such a collaborative effort among teams of university students and the World Bank to develop a technical solution to the long-standing problem of identifying the most vulnerable school building infrastructures in hard-to-reach areas of developing countries. Worldwide, natural disasters like earthquakes and cyclones put more than a million school buildings at risk of collapse, and an estimated 875 million children and teachers at risk of harm. Together with the Global Program for Safer Schools of the World Bank, the student teams worked across classrooms and disciplines to design a tool that

Augmented reality (AR) is an interactive experience that combines a real-worldenvironment with computer-generated elements in the real world (Azuma et al., 2001;Wikipedia, 2021). The AR system has three features: a combination of real and virtual worlds,real-time interaction, and accurate 3D registration of virtual and real objects.AR was first employed as a training tool for airline and Air Force pilots during the early 1900s(Akçayır & Akçayır, 2017). Since then, it has been widely used in every school level from K-12(Chen & Tsai, 2012; Chiang, Yang, & Hwang, 2014

In this phase, students were required to use simulationsoftware to experiment and expand their structural understanding. In particular, two educationalprograms were used: Pull Me Push Me and Truss me! The first one is an interactive app that allows themanipulation of structural forms to help in understanding how structures respond to loads. By draggingthe mouse and pulling the structure in different directions, the app simulates load conditions andresponse (reactions) (Fig. 2b). Small variables were progressively changed, which allowed students tograsp dissimilarities in the behavior of the structure

], there remain challenges associated with studentengagement that has led to less STEM graduates in recent years. Therefore, it has becomenecessary to address student engagement by fully immersing learners in real world context todevelop more challenging examples that relate their coursework to real life experiences [4].Another concerning fact is that between 400 to 800 Million of today’s jobs will be automated by2030 [5], which means that technology will become a vital tool that students must master. USDepartment of Commerce projects that 40% of existing jobs are in danger of shifting toautomation within 10 Years [6].

An emphasis of this course aims to teachstudents how to use their understanding of structural systems as a tool for creative problemsolving, and to shift thinking away from structural engineering as a series of operationalsteps. This strategy is achieved by integrating a series of active learning exercisesintermingled with lecture materials. Further, real-world examples are woven into the lecturesand exercises to forge connection between the diagrammatic way engineers talk aboutloading and real-world

A similar vertically integrativeproblem-based learning framework was implemented between undergraduate CM students andgraduate civil engineering students at Arizona State University in a face to face environment;through such learning framework, students’ soft skills improved, as well as their intent to pursuean advanced degree and to stay in the major [7]. Such an integrative approach has also beenfound to be effective in other studies

,sharing inquiry, scholarly objectives, and practical application [8]. The shift from multi-disciplinary to interdisciplinary or meta-disciplinary instruction has been recognized as a methodthat allows design and STEM students to “uncover and acquire a cohesive set of concepts,competencies, and dispositions of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)that they transfer and apply in both academic and real-world contexts” [9]. One of the benefits ofthe meta-disciplinary approach is that it enables students to develop a shared and commonunderstanding of systems-level ecological frameworks and urban design models that are requiredwhen collaborating on eco-district design project.

This model is based on the application of these learning methods and theidea that students are no longer required to only acquire information but encourage them toparticipate, interact and actively apply the knowledge obtained in classroom, developing theircognitive abilities. The resolution of challenges in real life is an intrinsic factor of theseprograms, it is necessary to go beyond the theory. With this purpose, construction site visits havebecome an even more relevant to the academic agenda.From an emotional perspective, during 2020 - 2021, lecturers and students have been subject ofhighly elevated levels of anxiety

Coverage indicates how wellthe course addressed the intended learning outcomes, while confidence reflects if the studentsfeel well prepared to implement their learning in the real world. This paper also presents studentfeedback on a selection of strategies used in the course for fall 2019.Given that this is the only course the students will take in construction scheduling, most studentswill learn the concepts for the first time.

design courses deserve a renewed sense of importance as students strive to concludethe academic experience and prepare themselves for transition to professional practice [10, 20,28]. It is an ABET accreditation requirement within AE Programs that graduates have a synthesislevel of knowledge in one of the four traditional AE disciplines (HVAC, Lighting/electrical,Construction, or Structural), with appropriate levels of application and comprehension of the otherthree disciplines [30].

effective. This gives the students a real-world problem andprovides the flexibility for the instructor to add or delete modules when a software system isoutdated or a new one is introduced. The project-based technique also allows other students tolearn from one another rather than relying completely on the instructor’s expertise. Lastly, do notfocus the course on mastering software systems; instead focus on understanding BIM workflowsand how the tools relate to construction processes. As mentioned previously, BIM is an integralprocess and tool that has an impact on all stages of construction. It is important to understandthese influences and focus student training on critical thinking and how software systems can beused to solve construction or

They specifically point to BluebeamRevu, Procore, BIM 360, and PlanGrid as examples of document management tools that areavailable to use. As Deigert and Brady state, using such software improves response timeefficiency and accuracy in both design and construction. Furthermore, a “paperless process”addresses environmental and financial concerns by eliminating the printing, shipping, andstorage of documents.There are benefits in the realm of education as well.
