. 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

influences (EQ) and understanding the rules underlying asystem (SQ), as it relates to this curriculum experience. Systemizing is defined as the drive andability to analyze the rules underlying a system, in order to predict its behavior and appears to becentral to the understanding of engineering. Empathizing is defined as both the interest andability to identify another's mental states and to respond to these with one of a range ofappropriate emotions.10The SQ-EQ model places these cognitive styles in tension and compares the relative strength ofthese styles within individuals as a predictor of their cognitive behavior. For example, S>E is anindividual that favors systemizing thinking over empathizing thinking, while E>S is anindividual that
