Engineering curricula during this period was based on specializedtechnical training to allow graduates to become immediately useful in industrial design careersand to efficiently meet the needs of the quickly developing economy. This trend of educationcontinued and “by 1900, it was generally recognized that American laboratories and methods forthe teaching of engineering were not surpassed and often not equaled in any other part of theworld. This could not be claimed, however, for much of the theoretical instruction in design” 1.Despite the weakness of design theory instruction, the focus on applied learning and hands-onexperience in engineering schools sufficiently met the needs of the booming manufacturing,automobile

natural science. However, students are oftenfocused on fulfilling requirements and constraints necessary to achieve high grades, rather thanemphasizing creative ways of apply their knowledge. Past studies have shown that whileengineering instructors value creativity, they believe it to be lacking in their students, while atthe same time current engineering students do not think that creativity is valued by theirprofessors1. Similarly, while there is a greater industry emphasis on recruiting creative engineersand a greater interest in creativity from new engineering students, related literature questionswhether or not postsecondary institutions are teaching creative thinking to their engineeringstudents1. Postsecondary institutions must consider

(In Australian universities, each course isnormally 25% of a full-time student’s study load for a semester.) In view of its importance,the capstone design course has a slightly higher level of teaching resources than most othercourses.The second challenge is students’ lack of practical knowledge. Practical knowledge amongstudents entering our engineering courses is usually limited to basic domestic repairs andassembling flat-packed furniture. Almost all the prior courses completed by students focuson

trends such as BIM and green building call for strongcommunication and teamwork skills, capacity to work efficiently within co-located teams andabilities to apply fundamental engineering, management and computer skills in real worldscenarios [13], yet traditional lecture-based pedagogical models are no longer efficient to deliverythese goals. An intrinsic drawback of these models resides in the fact that students are treated aspassive recipients with linear and fragmented teaching presentations, and deprived of theopportunities for learning the holistic nature and broad vision of the architecture, engineering andconstruction (AEC) disciplines [14].In contrast, project-based learning as a proven effective student-centered pedagogical approach[15
