Technology course which is a core coursefor Construction Management students at Illinois State University. The objective of bowling ballproject was to demonstrate the behavior of fiber reinforcement within concrete, to gainexperience in forming and fabricating a fiber-reinforced concrete, and to encourage creativity inmix design predictions and analysis testing. The students received instruction and guidelines forthis project early in the semester so that they can start thinking about different mix ingredientsand how to prepare concrete bowling ball. However, this project was conducted in the last threeweeks of the semester. Students worked together in groups to perform all the steps of the projectfrom design to manufacturing and testing. Survey

The Ohio State University honorsFYEP includes a semester-long design project to help students synthesize engineering concepts,create a coherent product, and further their EM development. Two of these first-year designprojects are a robot design project and a nanotechnology research project. For the robot designproject, students develop autonomous robots that complete a series of tasks within a two-minuteperiod. For the nanotechnology research project, students design a lab-on-a-chip and explorenanotechnology applications in medicine. Both projects provide a vast number of experiencesthat support the development of an EM.The goal of this
