With the advancement of web technology, the flipped classroom model has become a frequently discussed topic in academic circles at all levels. However, there are only a few research articles available for measuring the effectiveness of the flipped teaching model. This paper reports a feasibility study of implementing the flipped classroom approach in construction engineering and management (CEM) education. For this study, the authors designed the flipped classroom course modules and carried out the case study experiment. Also, a survey was performed for this study to observethestudents’perceptionsonthereversedteachingmodelinCEMeducation. Thisstudy found that the flipped classroom may have more benefits than the conventional classroom model. The survey confirmed that students may accept the reversed teaching model to learn course content in CEM education. The authors believe that this study makes a contribution to the existing body of knowledge by providing evidence to promote a larger, more controlled study to further investigate the efficacy of the flipped classroom approach.
