Many problems in construction management involve complex spatial reasoning in an environment that changes continuously until the project is complete. However, the ability of construction management students to solve these spatial-temporal problems is hampered by their lack of exposure to construction processes on the job-site, and a lack of appropriate pedagogical materials hinders instructors' ability to bring on-site experiences into construction courses. Hence, many students do not develop an understanding of the dynamic, complex spatial constraints (e.g., how construction products are related to one another in a particular contextual space) and the temporal constraints (e.g., the dependencies for coordinating subcontractors' processes).This project uses Augmented Reality Technology (ART) as an instructional mechanism to incorporate virtual job-site visits through the combination of two layers (the real environment and the computer-generated information). ART enhances the physical, real-world environment through computer-generated sensory input. ART enables students to enhance their perception of the job-site and, more importantly, allows them unlimited access to otherwise limited opportunities to participate in job-site experiences. This research investigates the use of virtual objects and geometric models to enhance the understanding of products within construction processes by boosting a student's spatial and temporal cognition skills. The project is creating instructional modules using ART for to be used within the construction management curriculum on two campuses: The University of Florida and Florida International University. By using control and treatment groups for each module, the project is assessing the effects of using ART on students' spatial-temporal skills as well as their problem solving skills. These skills are being assessed using validated instruments administered by an independent evaluator.

建筑管理中的许多问题涉及在不断变化的环境中进行复杂的空间推理，直到项目完成为止。但是，建筑管理专业的学生解决这些时空问题的能力受到了他们缺乏在工作现场的建设过程的影响，并且缺乏适当的教学材料阻碍教师将现场体验带入建筑课程的能力。因此，许多学生没有对动态，复杂的空间限制（例如，建筑产品在特定上下文空间中如何相互关系）和时间约束（例如，分包商的流程的依赖性（例如，这些项目）通过增强的现实技术（ART）进行构建，将其作为教学机制（ART访问），将其作为教学机制（例如，依赖性）。计算机生成的信息）。通过计算机生成的感觉输入来增强物理，现实世界的环境。艺术使学生能够增强对工作现场的看法，更重要的是，他们可以无限制地访问其他有限的机会参加工作现场体验。这项研究调查了使用虚拟对象和几何模型，通过提高学生的空间和时间认知技能来增强对施工过程中产品的理解。该项目是在两个校园的建筑管理课程中创建教学模块：佛罗里达大学和佛罗里达大学国际大学。 通过为每个模块使用控制和治疗组，该项目正在评估使用艺术对学生时空技能以及解决问题技能的影响。这些技能正在使用独立评估者管理的经过验证的工具进行评估。
