He can float a card in mid-air, rip a newspaper to shreds and put it back together with his bare hands… …but Brad Barton’s best trick is revealing our power to recognize illusions for what they are.
This NCAA All-American athlete, nationally recognized speaker, and author of the book Beyond Illusions, invites us to look beyond our illusions with our power of positive perception – and create real magic! |

Education and Construction Industry Experience Desired of New Construction Management Faculty
For attaining accreditation, construction management (CM) programs must hire teaching candidates with the requisite academic, professional and scholarly credentials. Most advertisements for open CM positions require or prefer that candidates possess both a doctoral-level degree and construction industry experience, among other credentials. This is occurring as the number of CM programs engaged in research increases and the focus on professional experience in construction decreases. This paper discusses the minimum and desired qualifications for employment for current open CM positions and compares those to the academic credentials and construction experience of recently hired CM faculty. Several options exist for new faculty to increase the required or preferred education and construction experience desired by CM programs. |

New Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE’s) Requirements for Federal Stimulus Funded Projects
The recent American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), enacted by the US Congress in February 2009, intended to provide a stimulus to the U.S. economy in the wake of the economic downturn. To date, over $30 billion of the ARRA funds have been allocated for transportation investments, which have been given to states and local agencies. With the appropriation of the ARRA funds, it is the policy of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to promote increased participation of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE’s). New requirements have now been implemented by the FHWA DBE Program that include a Race Conscious component. We will discuss how construction contract DBE participation goals are now developed considering Race Conscious and Race Neutral portions, how prospective bidders conduct Good Faith Effort, including evaluation and the appeals process, and DBE reporting requirements before and after contract award. |

A Survey Of Utah High School Construction Programs And How They View And Implement Green Building
This paper is based upon research where different processes of instruction are being examined in the context of design and construction decisions for “safer” and “greener: buildings. The main research question addressed here is: “Are Utah high school construction students being taught green building science principles and is related energy saving software being introduced in the classroom?” |

Partnerships between Industry and Academia for Research and Professional Development: A Case Study
There are many examples of faculty members in postsecondary construction education programs providing services in various forms to construction industry firms. Yet the number of these partnerships seems relatively small compared to the thousands of general and specialty contractors and trade associations, and the more than 700 faculty members teaching in over 100 construction education programs in the United States. This paper reports the services provided by the authors teaching at Washington State University (WSU) to Western Partitions, Inc., a specialty contractor with their home office in Tigard, Oregon, a suburb south of Portland. This case study is presented with the hope that other contractors and academics can develop similar partnerships that provide multiple benefits for all parties. The various aspects of the partnership to be presented include research, professional development, and consultation. |

A Unique Field Engineering Experience for Civil & Environmental Engineering Undergraduates
At the end of their sophomore year, all civil and environmental engineering majors participate in a 5-week field engineering course as part of their curriculum at the U.S. Air Force Academy. This course provides over 20 hands-on activities to give the students a construction-related foundation to engineering design courses they will take in the following two academic years. The students do everything from surveying to paving roads, placing concrete and building two wood-framed houses. This “construct first – design later” approach gives the students a realistic context for their theoretical classroom. work. During the field engineering course, the students work alongside journeymen Air Force carpenters, electricians, plumbers and equipment operators who provide hands-on instruction and give the students an appreciation for the craftsmen’s skills. This common experience also helps bond each year’s class and motivate them for a career in civil engineering. |

"Everything you wanted to know about BIM and IPD but were afraid to ask!"
Please join us to take a look at Building Information Modeling and Integrated Project Delivery from the visionary development perspective as presented by Mr. Dennis Neeley who has been instrumental in the development of 2D and 3D CAD systems over the past 25 years. He has owned several businesses in architecture, real estate development and software development and currently works for REED Construction Data assisting with the development and implementation of their BIM applications and services.
To offer a contractor’s perspective with BIM and IPD services, Ashish Peters and Kim Lorch with The Raymond Group, one of the largest wall and ceiling contractors in the US, will discuss their experiences with a number of BIM projects. The most recently completed BIM project performed by Raymond was the Crystals at City Center. |

“The New Virtual Construction World”
Arol Wolford is a BPM/Parametric Model pioneer beginning his contribution in the early 90s. He continues to passionately push BIM adoption in our construction industry. He is currently part of the Reed Construction Data SmartBIM Solution team.
Arol was the founder of Construction Market Data in 1981 which grew from 5 to 1300 employees and included CMD projects lead, RS Means costing and First Source product information when it was sold to Reed in 2000. He was a board member and investor in Revit starting in 2000. Arol was an honorary member of the America Institute of Architects (AIA) in 1997. He was later chosen as one of thirteen members of the AIA 150 board, in 2007. One of their major goals is to cut energy usage by 50% in AIA design buildings in the U.S this decade.
Arol believes BIM is a key to economically reducing the 40% Energy and 40% of CO2 emissions in Residential and Commercial construction within the U.S.
Arol has presented BIM/Green speeches in many settings that include Harvard, MIT, Georgia Institute of Technology, Northwestern, The National Institute of Architects Conference, National Association of Home Builders, and Windsor Castle with Prince Charles.
Arol will be speaking about how we in the construction community will transform our economy and earth by working together in “The new virtual construction world”. |
