Integrating Element of a Comprehensive Civil Engineering CurriculumAbstractThis paper demonstrates how construction can effectively function as the integratingelement of a comprehensive civil and environmental engineering curriculum. The UnitedStates Air Force Academy offers ABET-accredited undergraduate programs in civil andenvironmental engineering. Throughout these programs, construction is used to providerealistic experience, to teach project management, and to provide opportunities for multi-disciplinary capstone experiences.As in many other engineering programs, students at the Air Force Academy spend thefirst two years of study taking many required courses.

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 structures. While the Page 25.1440.3concepts do not differ from those studied by engineers, construction management studentstypically have only completed one semester of classical non-calculus based physics and pre-calculus math, and thus have a weaker technical background than engineering students. Inaddition, construction management structures courses include topics that engineers cover in moredepth over the course of many classes. This makes the topic of structural mechanics especiallydifficult for construction management students.MethodThe present study is a the result of action research carried out over the course of three semestersin
