Two years ago in the U.S., I began having discussions with some professors in construction programs at major universities who were teaching courses in computers and information technology (IT). They were teaching everything from how to use spreadsheets for solving simple construction-related problems to how to design construction software. Mostly, though, they were focusing on the use of construction software such as for estimating and scheduling.
UNFAMILIAR. There's no doubt that today's college graduates have much more it education than those who graduated just a few years ago. But I wonder whether other faculty and my students realize that, within probably three years or less, most of the software that they learn in class will have been replaced with new features and unfamiliar user interfaces.
