construction knowledge were identified to define the construction management BOK.Each knowledge area represents a particular sector of construction management for which thereis a set of knowledge and skills. The four knowledge areas are: cost estimating, constructionscheduling and control, project administration, and contract documents. I. The knowledge and skills associated with cost estimating include: a. understanding the requirements of the work based on the drawings and specifications; b. estimating work quantities; c. evaluating and selecting appropriate construction means and methods; d. estimating labor and equipment rates; e. designing field operations and estimating rates of

rainwaterharvesting, taking advantage of high quantities of rainfall in the country. This studyproposes to provide some guidelines for economic rainwater harvesting for domesticconsumption in urban areas of Bangladesh. The guidelines have been formulated usingexisting data on rainwater harvesting systems. Based on these guidelines, a mathematicalmodel has been developed to figure out cistern sizes for collection of rainwater. Theproducts of this research are a) computer program for calculating domestic waterrequirements and sizing storage cisterns and b) an animation of the proposed rainwaterharvesting system. These can be used as teaching tools to demonstrate the constructionmethods of such a system and the benefits of the technique.Key words: Bangladesh

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
