knowledge among non-traditionalstudents and young professionals, our university has recently developed an online Master ofScience (MS) degree program. In this paper, we describe the approach taken in the developmentand delivery of a new course, Management of Information Technology Resources, in thisprogram. The course had an enrollment of 15 students. Approximately two thirds of thesestudents were enrolled in the new online program exclusively, while the remaining students wereregistered on campus and whose reasons for doing this course varies and include: coursescheduling convenience, interests in course content, and time flexibility. The on-campus studentsdid not benefit from any advantage due to their proximity to the instructor since

An Introduction to the Problem and Report ObjectivesIt starts with the prescribed form sent to each engineering manager with the little check boxesand a No. 2 pencil. The manager begins, “On a scale from one to five evaluate the engineer’sproblem-solving ability.” Immediately the manager struggles to remember key instances in thelast year where the engineer exhibited good or poor problem-solving

. Despite industrial trends and employers’expectations, a gap exists between the mastery of teaming skills expected and thosedemonstrated by new engineering graduates. Employers expect college students to possess theseskills and often complain that college graduates have not learned the team approach to problemsolving.1 Employers, along with the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET),expect better preparation in these areas to be incorporated into the engineering curriculum at thecollege and university level. 1, 2 ABET stated in EC 2000, Criteria for Accrediting Programs,that one program outcome and assessment measure for engineering programs is to demonstratethat their graduates have an ability to function on multi

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
