described by McIntyre, students in problem-basedlearning environments “are challenged to „learn to learn‟ so that they can achieve their highestpotential in their chosen professions.”1 Just as a capstone completes a building or archway, thecapstone course finishes off the students‟ learning as they prepare to graduate and enter theworkforce.This paper describes the process used by the construction management program in Ball StateUniversity‟s capstone in construction course. This course, jointly created and refined by theprogram‟s faculty, utilizes three major distinctive features: team teaching, team learning, andsignificant industry involvement. By describing how these features have evolved over the years,the authors provide their course as a case

. Descriptive studies suggest intellectual gain is associatedwith undergraduate research [8]. A few very well-designed assessment studies have demonstratedthat students involved in research perceive an intellectual gain from such experiences. This type ofproject is quite suitable for Independent Study/Research by a student or a group of students. For thistype of study, the Faculty prepares a contract for the student(s) that details the scope of work to beaccomplished and the deliverables including a final report detailing the procedures and resultsobtained. It is known that research invariably leads to a better understanding of and a deeperappreciation for the material under investigation.Several undergraduate Construction Management Technology

Also,students are instructed to find if other alternative sequences were considered in the developmentof initial schedule, and why was the particular sequence selected. The core questions the teamneeds to answer is how the contractor assigned activity durations, what information did theplanner(s) have to gather to develop

factors have been identified that could affectconstruction safety. Among these factors is the provision of construction safety education toengineering students. It is also believed that there is a greater ability to influence safety on aproject earlier in the project‟s life cycle and such ability diminishes as the schedule moves fromconceptual design toward start-up. Thus, provision of construction safety education toengineering students will have benefits both for the project design and later in the procurementstage.Construction safety education for engineering students may involve two main aspects;construction site safety and design for construction safety (DfCS). Progress has been made inthe developed countries to incorporate both aspects in

regarding theinvestment required to develop a hybrid learning course.The TeamFive team members were needed to develop the online component of a hybrid learning courseaddressed in this paper. The first team member is the course instructor. The course instructor’sresponsibilities are to give insight to the instructional design professional on the goals of thecourse and how they may want hybrid learning to be incorporated into the class. An instructor isalso responsible for providing the material to be used for the online component and can helpreview the developed content.The second team member is the instructional design professional. This person has the mostresponsibility as s/he will be in charge of coordinating the entire hybrid learning
