Through a phone surveyinvolving 39 ACCE programs, 23 (59%) have an internship component as part of their degreerequirements. Students typically obtain internship positions during summer sessions betweenspring and fall academic terms. Although summer sessions vary in length, a twelve weekinternship duration is accepted as a baseline generating approximately 500 hours of experiencefor the intern. Ten of the 23

The decoding interview did uncover something that I had notpreviously considered: A paradox that simplification is actually a complicated process.Simplification is at the heart of the engineering process, something that is done through the useof models by capturing the important aspects of the general phenomena under considerationwhile disregarding trivial information. Deciding what is essential and what is trivial is truly anexpert choice, one that is not simple at all. It is beyond the scope of this construction engineeringmechanics class to expect students to create simplified models from scratch, but acknowledging

This methodology requires data collection and inductive data analysis goingfrom particulars to general themes. Creswell7 suggests that in qualitative research, differentdata collection procedures can be used. This research utilized two of those procedures: (i)review of public documents such as official reports, case briefs, and newspaper articles and(ii) semi-structured interviews. Once the data was collected through these procedures asdiscussed below, the researchers made interpretations of the meaning of such data as requiredby the qualitative research

As the construction industry is adapting the BIM technology, computerized dataare becoming more and more available. However, in most cases, these data might not beproperly utilized.
