Construction project is a major learning of the civil engineering educational program. However, the related knowledge is difficult to apprehend and assimilate during lectures since it is theoretical and practical work or tutorials on the subject are scarce. To address this issue, the authors developed DOMEGO, a game for teaching construction projects to civil engineering students. This board game aims to provide students with active and experiential learning of the key issues of a construction project. In the game, each player embodies a stakeholder of a construction project and must carry out the project while meeting her/his objectives. DOMEGO has been successfully integrated into an instructional setting of undergraduate students in Civil Engineering at the University of Bordeaux and Polytech, Nice Engineering School. Student feedback collected in the post-game survey was very positive. However, a more thorough analysis with a real evaluation protocol would be necessary to validate the game interest to teach construction project.Read less <
