Peer Pressure in BIM-Based Collaboration Improves Student Learning
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Building information modeling (BIM)-based collaboration may be associated with peer pressure in educational settings. Peer pressure creates a challenge for educators to foster students’ BIM skills and prepare them for a ... -
What Influences Women to Study Architectural, Engineering, or Construction (AEC) Majors?
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)It is well documented that the construction industry is perceived as an environment dominated by males, and as a result the industry has difficulty attracting qualified female employees. This study examined the female ... -
Interaction Networks within Student Teams Learning Building Information Modeling (BIM)
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Building Information Modeling (BIM) allows the integration of work teams, collaboration, and the generation of intelligent parametric digital models. Therefore, because BIM is a collaborative working methodology, it is not ... -
Prevention through Design (PtD) Education for Future Civil Engineers in Malaysia: Current State, Challenges, and Way Forward
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)The lack of prevention through design (PtD) education in higher education institutions has long been recognised in construction literature. Despite the fact that some of the institutions have embedded PtD education in their ... -
Design Codes in Structural Engineering Practice and Education
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Codes and standards are important tools in civil and structural engineering, but how they are applied in the workplace in comparison to how they are taught in undergraduate engineering education has been understudied. The ... -
Introducing High School Students into the Multidisciplinary World of Bridge Construction Using Project-Based Learning
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)This article presents the application of the problem-based learning (PBL) methodology for introducing the civil engineering task of bridge design and construction to high school students with a multidisciplinary approach. ... -
Comparing Design Thinking Traits between National Samples of Civil Engineering and Architecture Students
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Civil engineers and architects are both trained in design thinking, but they approach the process of design from differing perspectives largely due to the divergence in their educational curriculums. With an interest in ... -
Usability of Visualization Platform–Based Safety Training and Assessment Modules for Engineering Students and Construction Professionals
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Safety training and assessment programs play a key role in inducing safe behavior on construction sites. The traditional training methods are fraught with limitations. The advent of visualization technologies such as ... -
Catalysts and Barriers Faced by Native American Engineering Undergraduate Students in Arizona
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Engineering schools have been unable to recruit and retain Native American students at the same rate as other students. Consequently, the Native American representation in engineering has been declining over the years in ... -
Connecting Engineering Students’ Perceptions of Professional Competencies and Their Leadership Development
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)The evolving challenges and demands of engineering require future professionals to have a broad skillset. To be adequately prepared for industry, undergraduate engineering students need to recognize the importance of ... -
Structural Engineering Heuristics in an Engineering Workplace and Academic Environments
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Heuristics are approaches engineers use for solving problems and making decisions with quick, often approximate, calculations and/or judgement calls. Such approaches have become marginalized in structural engineering ... -
Lessons from Flipping Subjects in Engineering: Effectiveness of Student Learning in a Flipped Environment at the University Level
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)This paper outlines the subjective and quantitative outcomes of the introduction of the flipped classroom approach to two engineering subjects at the University of Melbourne. In this approach, lectures are delivered online ... -
Identity of Engineering Expertise: Implicitly Biased and Sustaining the Gender Gap
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Experts bring necessary comprehensive and authoritative knowledge to address issues as they arise throughout a project. This expertise is critical for construction and engineering organizations because the characteristics ... -
Assessing the Benefits of Flipped Classroom in Enhancing Construction Students’ Technical Communication Skills
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Because of the availability of internet resources including audio and video on virtually any subject, the flipped classroom is being increasingly used in many areas. However, the benefits of using a flipped classroom on ... -
Motivating Engineering Students by Providing Two Midterm Exams and Dropping the Lower Mark
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)This paper investigated the effect of grade dropping on students’ performance, engagement, and satisfaction. In three different engineering courses that were taught by the author, an optional second midterm exam was offered ... -
Individual Liability and the Development of Defensive Engineering in Professional Practice
(ASCE, 10/1/2020 )Recent years have witnessed increased individual sanctions for engineers in the event of a major failure such as the Deepwater Horizon blowout. The medical profession experienced a similar trend, which has been well-documented. ... -
Educating Civil Engineering Students about Ethics and Societal Impacts via Cocurricular Activities
(ASCE, 10/1/2020 )This research characterized faculty perceptions about the role of cocurricular activities in educating civil engineering students about ethics and/or the societal impacts of engineering (ESI). Among all survey respondents—those ... -
Exploring First-Year Engineering Students’ Innovation Self-Efficacy Beliefs by Gender and Discipline
(ASCE, 10/1/2020 )The expectations for engineers to solve complex, global issues are growing at rates that exceed current curricula in engineering education. Studies show that early career engineering students are not confident in their ... -
