Project basedlearning begins with an assignment to carry out one or more tasks that lead to the production of afinal product.

The result is a uniqueprogram that engages American and Middle Eastern civil engineering students to work togetherin a summer internship in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE) at the Dubai ContractingCompany (DCC). Through a combination of learning and discussion sessions at corporateheadquarters, hands-on experience on actual project sites, and visits to architectural/engineeringfirms and fabrication/machine shops, students learn the detailed workings of the contracting andconstruction industry in Dubai and the region. During this time, American and Middle Easternstudents also work collaboratively on team projects. By working, learning and living side-by-sidewith

It was developed based on a methodology known as the legacycycle 2. It is a proven model based on the research findings of the VaNTH project group. TheLegacy Cycle lesson format consists of six stages: 1) a challenge question, 2) generate ideas, 3) multiple perspectives, 4) research and revise, 5) test your mettle, and 6) go public. The cycle is based on current learning theory presented in How People Learn: Mind, Brain,Experience, and School3. During the summer research institute, a two-day Legacy Cycleworkshop was presented to the teachers. The workshop
