The whole class was a wonderful example of what the British call “surface learning.” But very little “deep learning”—which comes with time, depth, practice, and reinforcement— seems to have occurred.1 This

The timing of when the topics are presented isalso important especially for the ones that have direct application to a project deliverable.Examples of topics that are time sensitive include contract documents, estimating andscheduling, and graphic communications.V - MATURITYAfter 15 years of evolution, this course is nearing maturity. We have guided its developmentwith long-term values in mind. The model and structure are near full development but by nomeans near a perfected condition. The instructors and mentors now focus on providing students,those engineers of the future, with positive experiences and encouraging life-long learning
