adversarial construction team relationships. It also explored ways in which such examplesof latest practice in construction may be integrated in the curriculum of an undergraduatecurriculum for construction management programs. It concludes by providing examples of goodpractice through the presentation of case studies.A Definition of BIMBIM has been defined as “the process of creating and using digital models for design,construction and/or operations of projects.”1 This definition is interesting in that it does notrestrict BIM to just geo-spatial images representing the geometry of the project as wouldnormally be associated with CAD packages. This definition also includes all digital informationrelated to the project from its inception through

sustainability designation, at Calvin University, was a response to the growingneed for undergraduate engineering students to be exposed to concepts, principles, and responsesto sustainability challenges. The designation was designed to fit within an already packedundergraduate engineering curriculum. Traditionally, an area of study or emphasis might betranscripted as a “major” or a “minor.” However, most engineering students cannot addadditional minors, which have minimum requirements equal to a semester (or more) of full-timecoursework, without also extending their graduation timeline.An alternative approach to teach sustainability content to engineering students would be to blendsustainability concepts and topics into existing engineering courses

in the Engineering Curriculum: Realizing the ASCE Body of KnowledgeAbstractASCE has committed the profession to sustainability for at least a decade. The implied educa-tional imperative is for a broader and deeper preparation of new engineers, and at the same time,of the practicing profession. The ASCE committee working on the second edition of the CivilEngineering Body of Knowledge has embraced sustainability as an independent technical out-come; and has set out specific levels of cognitive achievement required of all engineers prior tolicensure. Herein, we discuss the elements of a university program including the sustainable useof natural resources, sustainable infrastructure, sustainable production of goods and services
will be implemented throughout thecivil engineering undergraduate curriculum at CSU, and CSU College of Education and HumanServices researchers will cooperate with the authors to develop and test assessment materials.Assessment will be added into the program of faculty workshops. In summary, there is a need for failure awareness in the undergraduate engineeringcurriculum. Engineering students can learn a lot from failures, and failures play an importantrole in engineering design. This need has been expressed in a number of papers and at a numberof conferences over the past two decades. This proposed research is a specific response to thatneed and will provide (1) much needed access to examples, and (2) a heightened appreciation ofthe

an annual collections budget review process. Collaborating with faculty on theactual academic unit presented to students provided additional context into how and why libraryresources, particularly standards, could be incorporated into the curriculum as well as the valueof having access to such information sources in the UB Libraries collection.Recreating the ExperienceThe authors felt that the study and the collaboration between faculty and librarian wassuccessful. In such cases, the next typical question is “how can this experience be recreated sothat this type of collaboration can be achieved between the librarian and other faculty?” At theoutset, it’s important to note that it was crucial for the librarian to be viewed by the faculty

. ENG6 is a required lower division course that teaches basic programmingconcepts to electrical, biomedical, mechanical, aeronautical, and civil engineering students.Because computer science and computer engineering students are not required to take thiscourse, most students have little familiarity with programming. Some are also not motivated tomaster programming concepts, since they view software design as being outside the corecompetencies required for their chosen disciplines. Increasing student engagement was anothermotivation for developing the new curriculum, including the creation of hardware-basedexercises and projects described in the sections below.The course utilizes MATLAB programming exercises and projects to teach engineering
