2:00 PM | 2:30 PM | The Creation and Subsequent Success of Developing a Construction Risk Identification and Analysis Course for Undergraduates Industry partners have identified that a basic understanding of business risk, beyond safety and jobsite hazard analysis is beneficial to the success of young professionals. It's been proffered, however, that graduates from many Construction Management programs are technically sound, but that critical analysis of performance risk is deficient. The course examines risk management planning, identifying, qualifying, quantifying, responding to and monitoring of uncertainties in the construction process. The course utilizes industry tools to understand how increasing or decreasing the probability and impact of certain risks and potential opportunities can affect the success of the project and ultimately the firm. Through teaching this course over the past three years, students have gained an understanding of the broad aspect of business risk inherent in the construction industry; are able to identify the stakeholders of a project together with their tolerances for uncertainty; perform qualitative and quantitative analysis of these risks with regard to severity levels; and utilize tools to manage risk through all stages of a project. |

2:30 PM | 3:00 PM | Raising the Bar in MEP Engagement and Comprehension The teaching of Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) systems in construction education has traditionally relied on lecture-based instruction focused on naming components, plan reading, and quantity takeoffs. As a result, student engagement has often been low, and knowledge transfer limited. To prepare future project managers for success, students must move beyond simple identification toward true system comprehension, and educators must help dispel the fear and mystery surrounding MEP systems so that project managers can engage more effectively with trade partners. This presentation introduces a newly developed MEP course at Colorado State University that reimagines how students learn building systems through hands-on, experiential learning and direct industry collaboration. In this course, more than 80% of class time is dedicated to active engagement—students climb inside air-handling units, wire commercial lab stations from one-line diagrams, hang ductwork, build residential wiring plans, tour live facilities, and commission a functioning VAV reheat system, among many other activities. These experiences reinforce how mechanical and electrical systems interact in real-world applications while building problem-solving and critical-thinking skills, demystifying the MEP industry, and boosting student interest in pursuing MEP-related careers. This session will share the process of developing the new course, discuss strategies for integrating industry partners, and highlight how revised learning goals—focused on comprehension, collaboration, and system functionality—have transformed student engagement and understanding. Attendees will leave with practical ideas for elevating technical education through experiential and industry-connected learning. |
