To replicate concepts of construction project life cycle in CEM Capstone159 courses, this study classifies a construction life cycle into six phases which are (1)160 administrative business development and feasibility phase, (2) conceptual design phase,161 (3

-determined “bundles” of assignments [18].The last several years have seen an increase in the use of specifications grading in highereducation courses in STEM, including examples in chemistry [19], biology [20], physics [21],mathematics [22], first-year engineering [23], [24], engineering computer applications [25],engineering mechanics [26], thermodynamics [27], fluid mechanics [28], biomedical engineeringstatistics [24], a chemical engineering laboratory [29], a biomedical engineering elective course[30], and capstone design [24].This paper will describe the implementation of specifications grading in two offerings of anundergraduate fluid mechanics course, one with lecture and laboratory components and a lecture-only course the following year
