Formrepresentations are successful in showing spatial relationships between the parts of a system.These types of images also aid in recognition of particular components due to characteristic formfeatures. Photographs are easy to obtain using digital cameras or online sources. Similarly, 3DCAD images of components are readily accessible through internet searching.Images of form are useful in describing how a system works when the system transfer forces.Forces are transferred through structural elements. Therefore images showing structural featurescan be interpreted as load bearing or load transferring

Despite the benefits, it has foundlimited application in construction management (CM) education. This study introduces CMundergraduates to a virtual jobsite and investigates the efficacy of VR as a knowledge transferpedagogy.

In essence, they practice their life-long learning skills continuously in the AerialRobotics Club.Unlike a course project where an instructor grades the results, the results of the Aerial RoboticsClub are evaluated by comparison with the best efforts of other student teams from schools likeGeorgia Tech, Carnegie Mellon, and Stanford.
