These courses are not engineering design courses in concrete, but more of themanagement and understanding in the mechanical properties of concrete that are commonlyfound in a construction field operation utilizing concrete as a building material.Literature ReviewThe laboratory exercises associated with the concrete construction course were developed tocreate an active learning environment, which has been found to be effective for mostconstruction management students. Research at other institutions offering degrees in constructionmanagement indicates that construction students tend to be visual and hands-on learners [1] &[4]. In 1999, a Midwestern

Traditionally,construction education in the United States focused on managerial, technical, and proceduralaspects. However, in the past decade, the industry's environmental impact has gainedrecognition, prompting owners to demand the integration of sustainability in the constructionprocess [11]. Acknowledging this shift, construction programs are now incorporatingsustainability-related courses into their curricula [12]. ACCE standards mandate that

The 2024-2025 CEPC includes new material science, numerical methods,engineering economics, risk and resilience, and diversity, equity, and inclusion curriculumrequirements. The study results indicate that fewer than 23% of civil engineering programscurrently require classes on any of these topics except engineering economics.

Programs experiencing undergraduate population growth may recognize technicalcommunications courses as less “scalable” than computational-based courses. The amount of effort to gradeadditional papers and presentations is noticeably greater than the additional capacity needed to gradeengineering analysis and design styles of homework. At the University of Tennessee, the Department ofCivil & Environmental Engineering is restructuring their technical communications course to addresscurrent and future “scaling” concerns.

While these courses may range in methodology or scope, thecommon goal is for students to apply a range of skills to develop a design project that spans theirengineering discipline. In civil engineering programs, these projects may come directly fromprofessional practice or include experiential components to develop a preliminary design [1].With other engineering disciplines, such as mechanical or electrical, there may be requirementsto develop prototypes to iterate on their designs.

Engineering educators and industry employers agree that graduates need communicationand interpersonal skills, collaborative and conflict management skills, and a cultural understanding(Seat et al., 2001) to function effectively as an engineer. What has also been agreed upon is thatsimply having a leadership program and/or incorporating teamwork into classes is not enough tosufficiently teach and develop these skills.
