F. Lozano-Galant; R. Porras; B. Mobaraki; F. Calderón; J. Gonzalez-Arteaga; J. A. Lozano-Galant – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2024
Traditionally, civil engineering infrastructures have been represented through two-dimensional (2D) drawings, which can lead to interpretation errors and jeopardize engineers' understanding of complex projects. However, with the development of building information modeling (BIM) methodology, civil engineering projects can now be virtually modeled…

Claudia Calle Müller; Ioannis Zisis; Amal Elawady; Mohamed Elzomor – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2025
The field of wind science and engineering (WSE) in relation to civil engineering (CE) applications is still considered relatively young and thus has been taught only for about 50 years in some academic institutions. Therefore, it is unsurprising that there are limited wind engineering (WE) tracks within CE programs worldwide, and no semblance of a…

Koc, Kerim; Gurgun, Asli Pelin; Ozbek, Mehmet Egemen; Kalan, Duygu; Clevenger, Caroline; Omur-Ozbek, Pinar – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2022
Projects in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry are known for cost and time pressures that cause stress, which brings excessive workload to employees. As candidate professionals, civil engineering (CE) students often worry about the balance between work and life due to the adverse reputation of the industry in this…

Osman, Sharifah; Mohammad, Shahrin; Abu, Mohd Salleh; Mokhtar, Mahani – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2020
The heart of engineering lies in problem solving. Critical thinking and mathematical thinking are inexorably linked and indispensable in complex engineering problem solving. However, the preparedness of prospective engineers in terms of having the required skills to face future challenges in the engineering workplace is still questionable and…

Du, Xiangyun; Naji, Khalid Kamal – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2021
This study explores engineering students' enactment of collective agency and perceptions of professional identity. Empirical data were drawn from observation and group interviews with 30 engineering students in a civil engineering course using a problem and project-based learning (PBL) approach. Using the technique of quantifying qualitative data,…

Che Ibrahim, Che Khairil Izam; Belayutham, Sheila; Mohammad, Mazlina Zaira – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 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 curricula, it is often not addressed in engineering curricula in higher education institutions in developing countries, such…

Loosemore, Martin; Lim, Benson; Ilievski, Marco – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2020
Engineering and construction industry workplace culture is known to undermine the mental health of workers and professionals, yet relatively little is known about the mental health of university students aiming to work in the industry. This is concerning, given evidence that students face increasing mental health risks in balancing study, work,…
