Civil Engineering
The study was implemented in tandem at two different universities (denoted Univ 1 andUniv 2 in the data comparison tables). University 1 is a small, public, undergraduate onlybaccalaureate university with an art and sciences focus in a rural area of the Mid-Atlantic region.University 2 is a midsized, public, master's university in a medium density city in the West NorthCentral Region. The same semester-long project was assigned in a steel design class at university1 and a reinforced concrete design course at university 2. The background of the students wassimilar at both schools; the students had completed statics, mechanics of materials, and structuralanalysis courses. Most students at university 1 had already completed a reinforced
