The third module is a detailed application of the above twomodules for students specializing in a certain field of engineering such as AE, CE, EE, ME, etc.This paper claims that this reform will help to replace teaching by learning and create environmentthat motivate students to creative and critical thinking, problem solving, and multidisciplinarylearning.

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
