But without meeting daily in classrooms, students do not have someone with whomto share impressions, problems, and projects around the studies, which can diminish the desirefor learning. To resolve the problem of lacking instant feedback from teaching staff or otherstudents, collaborative work and discussion are often encouraged in online-learning context.

In other words,the projects were used as active learning “centers” through which students will learn and applyengineering concepts and the construction process.Construction engineering education is not new, dating back to the 1950’s 1, and industry hasplayed in important role in the establishment of such programs.
