ethics.Web sites such as ConstructionRisk.com and ENR’s online journal site were used to findrelevant cases that could be used as the basis of a case study for a mediation debate. These sitesin addition to many others had also been shared with students during the first week of the courseas sources for more current articles and information on the legal and ethical issues covered in thecourse. The cases selected by the instructor were then written up with a general history given toeach of the three teams. The first mediation case study did not have many distractors, oradditional irrelevant information, added. This was done so that students could determine the“core” issue(s) more readily. However, the information given to the three teams could

jobsite to experiencing the stress of a factory assembly line while studying theindustrial revolution in school. In academic settings, simulations have been used in many formsover the years (Troka & Nedelman, 1975). In the sciences, experiential learning simulations takethe form of experiments that allow students to test hypotheses as they engage in the scientificprocess of inquiry (Bell & Smetana, 2008). Political science professors use simulations to engagestudents in ethical dilemmas (Wheeler, 2006). Although they often take the form of a face to faceor computer generated experiences, a simulation presents students with a situation that representsa circumstance faced in real life (Ellington, Gordan & Fowlie, 1998).
