To conduct the research to answer this research question, this paper proposes theadaptation of methods from the Industrial Engineering curriculum towards our proposed researchtraining framework based on design and analysis of computer experiments (DACE [2-3]). Awell-known research approach in science and engineering is the use of statistical design ofexperiments [4]. However, this approach requires

The titles of these courses are CM130: Computing inConstruction and CENE180: Computer Aided Drafting (CAD). The curriculum in each coursediffers in that the Computer Aided Drafting course is required for all civil and environmentalengineering students and focuses entirely on AutoCAD, Civil3D and Revit, while Computing inConstruction is a required course for students in the Construction Management program thatintroduces students to a variety of software applications used in

According to Webb (Webb et al., 2017), the lackof professional development programs was defined as a major challenge in different countries by theInternational Federation of Information Processing (IFIP). They discussed that: (a) Existing teachers whohave taught a different curriculum may not have sufficient technical knowledge and skills, (b) Theteachers' pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) (Shulman, 1986) has not been developed about the newcurriculum content, and (c) few new Computer Science graduates are coming into teaching.

Computer-Aided Design(CAD) have become an essential tool for engineers and other STEM-related fields, which requiresan adequate spatial cognition skill (Sorby et al. 2013).

Virginia Tech have entered as generalengineering students, transferring to degree-granting departments after completing a prescribedset of courses. Beginning in 1984, entering engineering freshmen were required to purchasepersonal computers and selected software, which have been used as an integral part of freshmancourses and in appropriate courses throughout the curriculum. A side effect of this requirementwas that the College no longer maintains computer labs for undergraduates, since they owncomputers of sufficient capability for all of their course work. As the years passed, and thecapabilities of personal computers increased, so did the minimum hardware requirement. Onesignificant change was in 1994 when students were required to purchase
