  • Public institutions and owners have been introduced to Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools. BIM has become an important factor in the design process in undergrad programs. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the improvement of the architectural engineering design process through an analysis of BIM courses. BIM education courses are analyzed to compare the level of detail in BIM education. An architectural engineering design class needs to involve BIM in the introduction of an integrated design process. An architectural engineering design process needs to be based on understanding design, building structures, construction and building services. 3D Modeling helps support an understanding of building structure and eco-friendly element analysis. The new process of architectural engineering design education is proposed as a result of this research.

  • Accidents at construction sites in Korea account for more than half of all industrial accidents. To solve this problem, a policy to strengthen safety education was implemented to ensure the safety of workers. However, it was analyzed that there is a high possibility of accidents because workers did not receive proper safety information for each risk factor due to general lecture-style education. In addition, statistics show that the accident status of workers with fewer years of period is high, indicating that a customized information delivery method needs to be proposed for unskilled workers with fewer years of period. Research on the importance of education has been conducted, but no information delivery method has been identified. For unskilled workers to effectively receive safety information, appropriate delivery formats (text, photos, illustrations, 4D-BIM, 360-based panorama, video, animation) were analyzed, and a new method of education was proposed. If customized safety information is provided according to this proposal, effective information delivery to unskilled workers will be possible, and it is expected to be verified in various ways.

  • It is related to launch the CM market and to increase the profit and entire ability in company that is enforcing the ability of construction management in large-scaled construction company. According to the CM market in U.S, CM market is increased with competing to the companies, that is E&C, general contractor, design firm, specialized CM firm. Also domestic market is similar to US market. In this situation, large-scaled construction companies are filled with construction management ability for competing with foreign companies and domestic CM firms. This paper suggests how to enforce the construction management ability through education, and shows the detailed education strategy considered the fields, divisions and positions.

  • This study aims to quantitatively analyze impacts of the team-based learning (TBL) method on learning of architectural engineering students. A TBL-based education program, consisted of preparation, readiness assurance, and application phases, was proposed by considering characteristics of architectural engineering education in South Korea and was applied in building construction classes. In order to measure learning effects and satisfaction levels of the proposed TBL-based education program, a set of questionnaires was conducted with students who took the building construction classes. As the results, learning effects and satisfaction levels of the TBL-based approach were higher than those of traditional approaches. Individual and team readiness assurance tests in the readiness assurance phase were the most effective and satisfactory items, while assessment in the application phase was the least effective and satisfactory item.

  • Recently, the Ministry of Labour, published clause 2 of Article 41 (Risk Assessment) of the Act "Industrial Safety and Health" dated 12 June 2013 in connection with continuous increase of accidents at construction sites in order to prevent accidents in industrial safety and health in new construction in accordance with the risk assessment on construction projects are realized after March 13, 2014. In this paper, positive method of calculating risk discussed by performing research the awareness of general contractors and sub-contractors with presenting risky situation is considered. The purpose will be a positive method of calculating risk and would be a sufficient base and give a positive direction in the development of new systems currently working in the construction and risk assessment which consider the characteristics of sufficient risk assessment system for future research.

  • Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ratio of online education in domestic universities has rapidly increased. This research has developed a curriculum that can be blended with online education-especaally for building construction. The realities of building construction education provided by domestic universities during the COVID-19 pandemic were analyzed. It was revealed that approximately 66.1% of the education was provided online, while approximately 33.9% of the education was provided in the form of face-to-face lectures. It was thus found that the ratio of online education had rapidly increased. We developed a blended learning curriculum of building construction subjects. The curriculum focused on weekly education procedures and the contents of education for each 15-week period. The curriculum proposed by this research could be applied flexibly according to the education goals of the instructor and the learning capabilities of the students.

  • The study, by reviewing and analysing the system of occupational education and training, aims to provide some substantial informations for the activation of occupational education and training in the construction sector. The result shows that the current system doesn't substantially reflect the realities of employment structure in the sector, and thus, fails to respond to skilled-worker development. It is also observed that most of the occupational education and training institutions have difficulties in recruiting trainees due to daily construction workers' negative attitudes toward the current system. Therefore, it is necessary i) to improve occupational education and training system, ii) to tackle in-depth analysis of daily construction workers' reasons for the negative perceptions, and iii) to develop the responding alternatives.

  • Project Financing (PF) is a financing method, executed based upon the projected profitability from a project itself instead of relying on the credit rating of project sponsors or any type of collateral. However, most financial institutions of Korea lacks the long term profitability assessment capability, and they prefer to acquire credit reinforcement from the construction companies in the form of the guarantor or debt argument commitments. As a result, PF contingent liabilities as an indirect debt, are burdened to the construction companies. Even though the PF contingent liabilities are not supposed to be part of the financial statements, they became a mandatory disclosure items since 2009. In this study, PF contingent liabilities were studied to indicate how they were correlated with construction firms' financial ratios. Construction firms were grouped by their credit rating and each group was compared in order to analyze PF contingent liabilities' impact on the financial condition of the company in terms of liquidity, liability, and stability.
