Session 3421 Challenge of Instruction in ICT for Construction Managers Alfredo Soeiro University of Porto, PortugalAbstractA project between Higher Education institutions, construction companies and the EuropeanCommission during three years funded project management firms from five European countries.The main goal was to provide education and training in the use of Information andCommunication Technologies in Construction Management. The results were used to carry out acourse of the final year degree of future Construction engineers. The format and results of thecourse

When the latter is taking place, a whiteboard is available,which is shared by all the attendees on-line.4. ConclusionsWhen videoconferencing, voice over IP, whiteboard, and on-line chat rooms become off-the-shelf technologies, customization and knowledge-based content delivery in e-learning or e-education become more important features for a professional training school/center in theInternet era
skills are developed, their information retention is increased, understanding of difficultideas is improved, and course material delivery is made simpler [8]. AR technology has thepotential to boost students' visual comprehension and their engagement with ideas [9]. Use ofAR enables students to actively and independently participate in the process of developingconcepts and learning how to apply what they have learned in a typical lecture setting [10].There is a need to identify maturing and developing patterns in the integration of AR into CM,which supports the need for performing this review study. This review paper outlined the state ofthe art in the research on AR use in CM education. Additionally, the review findings could serveas a road map
research.BackgroundNLP is an interdisciplinary field encompassing machine translation, text processing, andartificial intelligence. It has emerged as a powerful tool for automating the evaluation of textualdata in educational settings [5]. Research in the use of NLP in education has delved into thecomparative analysis of NLP coding techniques with traditional manual coding methods, aimingto assess the reliability, validity, and efficiency of automated approaches [6] - [10]. Thesecomparative studies have sought to identify the strengths and limitations of NLP technologies incapturing the nuances of student language expression, as well as their potential to replace orcomplement human expertise in data analysis processes [11].A majority of this research has

These rapid advances in computingpower have enabled new ways of generating, processing and sharing information [7]. Thesetechnologies have led to the automation of an entire production process [2].The Fourth Industrial Revolution, which is also known as Industry 4.0, is centered on the use ofinformation and communication technologies (ICT) within and across industries [2]. In Industry4.0, computers are connected and communicate with one another to ultimately make decisionswithout human involvement. These smart and autonomous systems are driven by the Internet ofThings
have been underway in the U.S. for over a century, a neweducational innovation is emerging in practice-oriented engineering and technology education, which isintegrative with on-going engineering practice in industry. This innovative advancement in professionalengineering education is a direct outcome of the joint industry-university National Collaborative TaskForce on Engineering Graduate Education Reform (See Appendix B).The practice-oriented engineering doctorate (D.Eng.) is being designed as a postgraduate degree programintended specifically for U.S. engineers who are pursuing leadership careers in industry/governmentservice. The program is a complementary alternative to the research-oriented PhD, specifically designedto better support the
industrialfacilities. Common hierarchical structures, to learn what skills the entry-level engineeringtechnicians need to have, are defined. How those skills align and interact with their directsupervisors and cybersecurity business units is presented. The recommendation process forimplementing cyber-related skills in Florida’s AS Engineering Technology programs is alsoreviewed. These efforts might also help other advanced manufacturing programs nationwidedetermine what cybersecurity skills they should consider adding to their programs.Organizational CybersecurityIn recent decades, information technology (IT) services and support have become increasinglyintegrated into all organizations and businesses.

Thedepths of communication topics are dependent on how, or whether, a communication specialty isoffered within the electrical engineering program.At Bowling Green, our electronics and computer technology program has followed a similartemplate, while additionally covering topics such as physical interface standards (e.g. RS-232,RS-422).

The interdisciplinaryintegration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has been of widespreadinterest since the emergence of the digital age; and as a result, the form that technologicalintegration takes in different fields can be examined before being extrapolated to integratingICT into computing specific subjects.2.1.1 Generalized Subject IntegrationThe desire to assess the integration of content presented through a teacher PD into theteachers’ school is of great import.

learning experience to emergefrom the data, and chose qualitative content analysis and the constant comparative methodduring coding to accomplish this goal. Qualitative content analysis generates a “subjectiveinterpretation of the content of text data through the systematic classification process of codingand identifying themes and patterns” and is a way of analyzing text data from open-ended surveyquestions14. The constant comparative method iteratively takes information from the data andcompares it with categories that emerge from the data, until all information that can be gleanedfrom the data is identified15. It is traditionally used in the formulation of a theory for groundedtheory studies, but was used here to exhaustively identify

Computational Mathematics, Science and Engineering program atMichigan State University offered a graduate-level Special Topics course on using Generative AIin scientific discovery. This course was open to graduate students from across the university andenrolled 12 students from 6 majors. Four faculty volunteered as the instructional team and thecourse was modeled after two previous “emerging technologies” classes taught in the samedepartment. The idea behind all of these “emerging technologies” special topics courses is thatthey specifically introduce something that is not only new to the students, but may also be new tothe instructors. For example, previous “emerging technologies” courses covered NextGen GPUprogramming, FPGA programming for scientific

The construction industry continues to evolve with recentadoption of emerging technologies such as sustainable materials, technologies, and management;building information modeling; wearable technology, among many others [3][4][5][6]. Decisionsregarding the adoption and successful implementation of both traditional and emergingtechnologies are greatly influenced by influential professional roles to include presidents, generalmanagers, construction managers, project managers, project engineers, etc. [2]. Consequently, itis imperative that undergraduate programs maintain students’ residential construction interestsfor their successful

challenges for studentsattempting to integrate socio-technical thinking into their analysis of emerging technologies. Engineers, just as any other professional group, work under a framework of culturalvalues that generate an engineer identity 6. This engineer identity is generally reinforced over thecareer of engineers, particularly during undergraduate education 16,17 and the first few years ofpractice. There are several mindsets that inform this engineer identity, for example, meritocracy,centrality of military and corporate organizations, uncritical acceptance of authority, technicalnarrowness, willingness to help, instrumentalism, among others 1,4–6,18. In our analysis, we focuson one aspect of this engineering culture: instrumental

Based on these inputs, TIPSdetermines the overall direct costs and indirect impacts of a unit of electricity according to thecosts associated with each fuel type. These measures provide students, policy makers, and otherusers with transparent and unbiased methods for understanding basic tradeoffs that emerge fromdifferent fuel mixes.
