Abstract

The Fourth Industrial Revolution has significantly affected the higher education in recent years. The disparity in proficiency between project development schemes and the feasibility of graduating students is a prevalent challenge for construction management education. While the students enrolling in the higher education program have developed a theoretical foundation in project management, they still cannot apply the theory to practice. This research intends to integrate lean management methods with the course group’s teaching reform and implementation consulting by including industry experts throughout the process based on the concept of new engineering disciplines. The researched courses are implemented through digital teaching technology supported by the university learning management system and various resources. The collaborative learning and teaching strategy enriches the participants’ learning experience. The data from the questionnaire survey of the teaching class indicates that assessing task-oriented project teams and using suitable digital teaching resources can significantly enhance learning outcomes and facilitate the development of students’ ability to apply theoretical knowledge to practical management tools. Including new professional course chapters, such as those covering the obstacles to implementing modular building methods and relevant project management subjects, enhances the student learning experience and contributes to the advancement of construction management discipline courses. This research is crucial for advancing the digitalization process of higher education and training programs for applied skills to address society’s demands effectively. Further study should aim to increase the sample size of instructional items and use the multi-criterion analysis method to enhance the accuracy of research findings.
