This paper presents a case study of how the adoption of BIM-based practices in the AECO industry is being reflected by cultural change in higher education in Ireland. The silo-mentality that has dominated the AECO sector for more than a century has, despite numerous reorganisations, been replicated in the structures of educational institutions, including in Dublin Institute of Technology since the inception of its founding colleges in the late 1800s. Most AECO programmes must include content that is external to the programme’s specific discipline. Through the School structures of the Institute, delivery of such content is known as "service teaching" …

Retention is a challenge for all third level institutions and retention rates remain higher than colleges would like them to be, this has intensified in recent years as participants in higher education has increased and diversified. Third level institutions which would not only benefit from increased fees but also through low cost word of mouth promotion and an enhanced reputation. As such, an important concern for colleges is retaining students and understanding the reasons why students may choose to leave a program. While student satisfaction and retention is a well researched topic there remains questions to be answered in terms …

A common theme in the scholarly literature describing engineering is associated with the conception of the term global engineer where the role of the engineer has become quite broad. This study investigates engineering students’ perceptions of their future careers and their preparation for professional practice. This is important information for engineering educators as students with heightened interest in professional practice demonstrate more cognitive engagement. Additionally many graduate engineers are challenged by the transition into engineering practice. A mixed methods approach is employed. The degree competencies are required and learned by electronic engineering students, at the Institute of Technology Tallaght Dublin, …
