dc.description.abstract | This paper builds on the IGLC paper, “Different Perspectives on Teaching Lean
Construction,” presented last year by Tsao et al. that documented teaching approaches
from three different Lean Construction (LC) university course offerings. It aggregated
the approaches taken by the course offerings, the Lean Construction Institute (LCI),
and the Associated General Contractors of America to develop recommendations for
learning modules, outcomes, and strategies for an introductory LC university course.
This paper provides four additional distinct perspectives to continue the
conversation about teaching LC in a university setting. It illustrates the authors’
differences in teaching approaches, experiences, and lessons learned from course
offerings in the United States and Lebanon. The paper offers additional ideas for
providing “proof of concept” to students and further illustrates how teaching LC
effectively requires a combination of readings, lectures, discussions, simulation
exercises, field trips, and guest speakers to mix theory with action. The paper then
aggregates seven teaching perspectives in a single table to provide an overview of
different approaches for teaching an introductory university-level course on LC. | en |
