manager and course work can be beneficial to students. It however requiresadditional resources and a lot of dedication on the part of the Professor, Project Manager and thestudents to make it work well. This innovative approach can be used together with the traditionalcapstone course to enhance the problem solving skills of students. This knowledge may howeverserve as the experience for the capstone course for Construction Management students.Construction Management students are required to take capstone course in their final year ofstudies to prepare them for the construction industry.Conclusion Page 22.616.11This paper shows that by introducing

graduateprogram draws students nationally and internationally, many of the students come from theregion. The graduate program has grown from six students in the 2004-05 academic year to 22students in 2009-10. Much of this growth can be attributed to the broad array of technical topicsand ability to recruit undergraduates by exposing them to challenging topics that give them aglimpse of masters-level topics. The primary mode for providing this exposure has been thesenior capstone project course sequence1, but additionally, there have been several independentstudy projects that have shown undergraduate ET students the challenges that lie in the graduateprogram.The Rapid Center houses a wide array of high-tech machinery, such as rapid prototyping(Stratasys
