With suchrapid technological advances currently characterizing the construction industry, adequate classroomsubstitutions for field experience are increasingly necessary. As an example, in an earlier course term project of courses, such as the Construction Methods andEquipment, students assume the role of a construction engineer responsible for a construction project, such asa deep foundation construction for a high-rise building; a cofferdam installation for a bridge foundation; anderection of a concrete or steel building/bridge.

Engineers need new skills andcompetencies that will help them understand and meet new work-related requirements1. As moreengineers are employed in smaller companies and the work force in down-sized, individuals musttake on a wider variety of duties. In addition, since the number of students studying engineeringis decreasing2,3, the aging work force must be kept up-to-date in order to maintain high levels ofproductivity throughout their careers.
