The capstone course in a construction program iswhere a student‟s prior coursework is wrapped up in a single, comprehensive course3. Theauthors‟ intent when creating this course was to provide as much of a realistic, team-basedsimulation of managing the construction process as was possible within a college classroomenvironment.To that end, a common project of approximately $1-7 million is used by all students, who worktogether on teams of 3-5 members each.

The IET curriculum is based on a learning-by-doing approach andincludes intensive hands-on activities. By partnering with the industry, students are exposedsince their freshman year to real industrial tools, hands-on activities and simple engineeringdesign, which helps in engaging and motivating them to persist in the program.

Because engineering is comprehensive,involves complexity, and attempts to meet human needs, it seems potentially well-aligned withthis way of organizing knowledge, which promotes coherence and convergence betweenscientific and humanistic knowledge in engineering education. Yet based on establishment of “arational engineering curriculum system,” engineering students were required to take compulsorycourses related to specialized technical topics in order to avoid achieving breadth withoutsufficient depth.11 This approach was consistent with a traditional Chinese view that “naturalsciences cannot be isolated.

Fieldwork is integrated with the academic content and students have acontext in which to apply practical, theoretical, and ethical solutions to problems or projects.[4]“Live projects reject the separation between real and theoretical, practice and education, andallow the student to be creative within constraints.” [7] Sara defines ‘live projects’ as: “The live project is defined here as a type of design project that
