Engineering Education, 2017 Introducing an Advanced Building Information Modeling Course in Construction Management ProgramsAbstractMany construction management (CM) programs in the U.S. have introduced BuildingInformation Modeling (BIM) in their curriculum due to the rapid adoption of BIM in thearchitecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry. Previous research has revealed thatmost of the BIM courses offered in CM programs have mainly focused on 3D modeling skills aswell as BIM applications in 4D scheduling and 5D estimating. While these topics appear to beimportant to apply BIM technology, students will not be able to fully understand the BIMprocess in a construction project without knowing the fundamental workflow

, 2016 A Case for Incorporating Preconstruction Cost Estimating in Construction Engineering and Management ProgramsThe need to effectively manage costs during the construction phase of a project to meet budgetconstraints is widely understood by both practitioners and academics. Most, if not all,Construction Engineering and Management undergraduate and graduate programs require thatstudents complete construction cost estimating courses as part of their core curriculum.However, the value of estimating the owner’s planning, design, and procurement costs during thepreconstruction period is not typically included in the Construction Engineering andManagement curriculum.

Consider the famous quote by Confucius: “I hear and Iforget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.”This paper discusses a hands-on experiential learning laboratory, which complements the lecturein a Construction Management (CM) materials and methods course.

This schism has prompted industry, government, and other key constituents to questionthe relevancy and efficacy of current programs. The Accreditation Board for Engineering andTechnology (ABET) Engineering Criteria 2000 and the American Council for ConstructionEducation (ACCE) emphasizes outcomes over process, and provides an opportunity forstakeholders to help universities define educational goals and objectives and design a curriculumto meet the desired outcomes .
