Bio/Research
In today’s globalized world, design and construction companies often outsource work in order to lower costs. This practice has changed the industry, and, says Paul S H Poh, education must follow suit. “As teachers, we have a responsibility to show students how to work collaboratively with peers across geographical and time divides.”
Poh is the perfect person to impart this knowledge. His industry career in construction project management has taken him to countries around the world, including the UK, Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand. It is invaluable experience, and he brings it all into his classroom.
Poh co-designed his fourth-year construction project management studio in collaboration with Coventry University in the UK. Working as a multi-disciplinary team, Toronto Met and Coventry students collaborate on and respond to a request for proposal for a building project. “Beyond technical content, students get to learn the practices of another country, and the importance of teamwork and communication skills.”
