collaborative learning and knowledge creation inconstruction education. The purpose of this paper is to present the use of wikis in a ConstructionManagement (CM) course as a case study. 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

In many cases these complex andinterrelated applications can best be demonstrated during a field trip in an actual application1.Field visits enable the educator to expand the students’ view and help students avoid merereflexive application of exercises provided in class.

Consequently, onepath through the value tree gives the greatest benefit. The trick to obtaining this benefit is tomodify the probability of a desirable outcome at each stage in the project. Today, the best meansof improving outcome probability is found in forecasts created via modeling and simulationtechnology. In fact, for the case study presented here, the amount of improvement is calculatedto be $1.11 Billion for the project’s execution.Through an in-depth case study, this paper justifies the use of modeling and simulation as anintegrated technology for project controls education.

VC2L.ConclusionBuilding Information Modeling is a process which aids the integration, collaboration and projectmanagement for the Architecture, Engineering and Construction industries. Its benefit is beingseen in the construction industry and increasingly companies are adapting it. As the demandincreases, it is becoming even more important for a construction curriculum to allow thetraditional methods of education to incorporate technology and skills for future growth. To allowfor the existing heavy workload of the undergraduate program of Construction Management(CM) to absorb BIM, it is important to integrate it throughout the curriculum. As this methodicalchange happens, the existing skill level of the students who are not habitual users of thecomputer programs

settlement concepts including causes, consequences andtreatments. One important topic is how the design of a building (e.g., height, weight andfoundation types) affect building settlement on various types of soil. This requires the ability tocalculate building settlement. However, theoretical models that are used in the geotechnicalengineering area are too complicated to non-engineering students. This paper develops astatistical model to predict the building settlement. An interactive education tool has also beendeveloped based on the statistical model, which is much easier for CSM students to explore therelationship between building & soil characteristics and building final settlement.
