Re Envisioning Construction Engineering And Management Education Through Experiential Learning

Eddy Rojas, University of Washington Eddy M. Rojas is an Associate Professor of Construction Management at the University of Washington. He received a B.S. in Civil Engineering from the University of Costa Rica in 1991 and an M.S. and Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 1995 and 1997, respectively. He also received an M.A. in Economics from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 1997. Dr Rojas is the Executive Director of the Pacific Northwest Center for Construction Research and Education and the Graduate Program Coordinator at the Department of Construction Management at the University of Washington. Dr. Rojas’ main research areas include: 1) modeling, simulation, and visualization of construction engineering and management processes, 2) construction economics, and 3) engineering education.
