Construction Lab Project Using Procore®Abstract:Construction education benefits from establishing a strong relationship with real-world industry practices.One important practice is the knowledge of software used in the industry to simplify the complexconstruction workflow and tasks throughout project execution. Procore® is considered a leadingconstruction software providing a connection between technology and industry trades. The cloud-basedsoftware provides a central repository for the contract documents, e.g. bidding documents, prime contracts,change orders, drawings, and specifications, and enables sharing the project information with all projectparticipants. While it is still needed to provide evidence-based studies measuring the effectiveness
, Construction curriculum, Faculty Externship. VDCIntroductionThe construction management curriculum is a blend of courses requiring hands-on laboratories,software tools, theoretical lectures, and deeper learning on project management tools. Thesetools and techniques constantly upgrade with newer technologies, computing breakthroughs, andintensifications. The American Council for Construction Education (ACCE) establishes studentlearning outcomes (slos) to standardize construction education at 2-year, 4-year, and master'sdegree programs at different institutions. While ACCE focuses more on the core concepts andtheories through its accreditation requirements, it is essential to understand that technologicaladvancements have been pivotal in managing
towardadopting new technologies to improve their processes. This has led to the utilization of varioustools such as aerial photogrammetry, inventory tracking, site logistics, safety inspection, andstructural condition inspection. One of the most notable emerging technologies is drones, whichwere initially developed for military purposes but have since been adopted by the constructionindustry due to their cost-effectiveness, productivity, safety, and flexibility. However, integratingdrones into construction education requires knowledge beyond the traditional topic area ofengineering technology. Construction engineering technology educators must use systematicprocesses and learning tools to introduce drones in the classroom. This paper details the basics
