the construction management education(Johnson & Gunderson, 2009). With the growing use of graphic communication on constructionprojects and the advancements in digital graphic technology, the ability to use applications ofdigital visualization programs has become one of the important skill sets for constructionmanagement students [4]. Furthermore, the move from drawings to data has significantlychanged the ways project teams can work and students can learn. For example, the technologiesfor construction visualization like Building Information Models (BIM) and on-screen takeoff(OST) when used in estimating courses, appear to have a positive influence on the estimatingskills of CM students [5]. In another study, users were able to consider

adjust to the reality of AI (and I will make it availableonline after it is written). Changes in technology have frequently led to changes in engineering education, for example,the replacement of the slide rule and pen and paper technical drawings by graphing calculators and CADsoftware, respectively. The engineering education community often has been reactive regarding suchpast changes in the sense that a carefully considered integration of new technologies into engineeringcourses, curricula, and pedagogy has trailed a somewhat haphazard use by early adopters. However, Ibelieve that the engineering education community views AI as so potentially transformative in bothpositive and negative ways that its response must be proactive. The

One such strategy, PeerInstruction (PI), aims to convert students from passive listeners to active and engaged learners.Peer Instruction has five basic iterative steps: (1) the instructor asks a conceptual question; (2)students think about the question; (3) students make an initial vote using a personal responsesystem (PRS); (4) if a significant proportion of the class is
