About the AEC 191 Portfolios

Construction Management students are provided opportunities to visit active job sites during classroom excursions and participate in a summer internship to experience the work environment they will enter upon graduation. The faculty also lead our students in competing in national competitions offered through professional organizations such as the Design-Build Institute of America, the Associated Schools of Construction, the Associated Builders & Contractors, and the Associated General Contractors.

Students in Dr. Fan Zhang’s AEC 191: Experiential Learning course partnered with Camp Kamassa to create a moveable storage shed for the archery program. Students also collaborated with Dr. Jen Andrella, Ms. Jamie O’Quinn, and the Center for Digital Humanities to create their final portfolio projects using Microsoft Sway. These projects chart the building process from design to delivery. Browse their portfolios below:
