Knowledge Management System (KMS) for theconstruction and engineering industries is a new and exciting area of study, and wikis are a formof electronic KMS. In the last few years there have been studies done on the use of KMS as itrelates to a construction or engineering company’s internal tacit knowledge capture,collaboration, and retention. But little has been researched in the use of these technologies in theeducation sector. If the construction industry is using these types of technologies as a part ofnormal operations, then construction academic programs should

task in subtasks and assign individuals to independently perform each subtask to later assemble a group response. In a team environment, members analyze, discuss, and solve problems together in a collaborative environment. Role playing is an excellent example of a team-based activity. By using role playing, educators can set up meetings where students play rolls such as contractor, subcontractor, design engineer, architect, owner, or user. Some exercise types might include planning and scheduling meetings (i.e. 4D schedule review), partnering meetings, community outreach, or alternatives evaluation meetings.2) Definition of Scenario and ContextAfter defining the learning objectives, the next step in
