collaborative learning and knowledge creation inconstruction education. The purpose of this paper is to present the use of wikis in a ConstructionManagement (CM) course as a case study. 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
/oremployment in academia and industry. While some of these efforts have demonstrated success, because manyorganizations work independently at the K-12, undergraduate, or graduate level, their impact on the overall lack ofdiversity in engineering has been disappointing. Because disparate efforts will be more powerful with increased collaboration and coordination, with supportfrom the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the National Academy of Engineering hosted a workshop and is conductingfollow-up activities to provide actionable insights to the engineering education community about existing andpotential new approaches for increasing coordination and communication among the various levels of theengineering education system to increase the number of

Joint class sessions are being held and taught by faculties fromthe two departments at different stages of the design project. Students started to gain importantexperience in team work, time management, and collaboration and cooperation through variousdesign activities. This concurrent engineering and mechatronic design approach, whichemphasizes team collaboration, has become the new industry standard in product design anddevelopment.Students were given specific mechatronic/robotic design projects that required them to use actualmechanical, electrical/electronic hardware and software that are being currently used by theindustry.

Seniordesign classes in traditional engineering programs highlighted examples. The team recognizedthat a capstone course would be an ideal platform for students to dovetail their new technicalcompetencies. In conjunction with this development, a team was collaborating with theconstruction industry to target the competencies required for a successful graduate. Many ofthese focused on soft skills: communication, problem solving, teamwork, and the ability toconvey one’s ideas. The team set off to build a course incorporated all of these competencies.The end result is a continually evolving capstone program
