The Department of Construction Management and Civil and Construction Engineering is excited to welcome Professor Gozde Gursoy to the faculty of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. According to past department chair, Mike Tramel, Professor Gursoy “is the classic definition of the Renaissance woman. She is an artistic scholar who is also an excellent teacher and all around wonderful person.”
Gursoy will be teaching Building Information Modeling (BIM) this spring. She has served as an adjunct professor for eight years at UA Little Rock teaching BIM. She says serving as an adjunct professor gave her great opportunities and experiences in teaching and learning. “Being a part of this family, I have developed in my character, eagerness, passion and commitment to life-long learning.”

During high school, I took Mandarin Chinese. This was a great experience because most high schools only offer Spanish. The hardest thing about learning Mandarin Chinese is confusing the meaning of some words because they sound alike. For example, “mom” sounds a lot like “horse.” You could accidentally offend someone.
