A democracy demands that its citizens make personal and community decisionsabout issues in which scientific information plays a fundamental role, and they hence need aknowledge of science as well as an understanding of scientific methodology; 4. For somestudents, it will become a lifelong vocation or avocation; and 5. The nation is dependent on thetechnical and scientific abilities of its citizens for its economic competitiveness and nationalneeds [12].Upon graduation from undergraduate construction programs, graduates are engaged in thedesign, planning, engineering, construction, estimating/budgeting, management

. The data showed that itpromoted increased metacognition and career formation, coursework engagement, classparticipation and a sense of belonging. Recommendations on further research are tohighlight specific cognitive aspects of peer teaching.Kim et al. (2014) were interested in understanding the impact of peer teaching on studentlearning in a theory based and laboratory Electric Circuits course. Their case study isdesigned to allow teams of two student Peer Assistants (PAs) to prepare and presentcourse materials for the week they are assigned. Each week a different team presents andby the end of the course each student has become a PA. The authors start the report withintroducing the concept of peer teaching, defining it and describing

not thefocus of most construction programs and are not discussed to a satisfactory extent in constructionclassrooms and laboratories, some students do not even have the chance to seriously consider thoseroles and even decide if they would prefer to work in those roles in the future. Unfamiliarity andmisconceptions about professional roles brings conflicts during practice and also increasesstudents’ doubts about their level of knowledge and capabilities [4]. Construction graduates havefound themselves working on transportation and infrastructure projects, instead of the typicalcommercial construction building projects that they are mostly prepared for through typicalconstruction programs. It is not uncommon to find students who have graduated
