These sessions were conducted over a period of 3-4 weeks inplace of associated labs that had previously been given to the students to supplement the lectures.During the PBL sessions, the students worked in groups of four that were assigned by theteachers at tables in the school’s design lab. At the start of the project, subject matter expertswere brought into the classrooms to teach the students about design thinking in the context ofboard game design. Students were given three associated tasks to complete before games werebuilt. In the first task students identified the key elements that

One of the greatest claim for the use of DB is that it allows foraccelerating the schedule by making use of fast-track techniques [3]. However, research indicatesthat for a successful DB project, it is necessary to have improved communication between allstakeholders, including between owner and design-builder [3]. The link between effectivecommunication and project success suggests that a successful construction manager not onlyneeds technical knowledge, but also ‘soft skills.’ [3], [4]. Similarly, a shift on how higher education institutions view undergraduate teaching isalso happening. Research in student motivation indicates that learning becomes more meaningfulto

In spiteof the importance of these measures, it is also obvious that these numbers in and by themselveshave very little to say about the quality or actual impact of internationalization.European graduates have problems conveying to potential employers what soft skills they haveacquired thanks to international mobility. At the same time, Human Resource (HR) professionalsappear to know little about what skills can be developed by students on international mobility.Indeed, without a comprehensive, scientifically tested and reliably assessable framework ofglobal competence for engineers, and a tool kit to assess this competence, whatever measure auniversity will adopt to enhance and give value to global competence for engineering students

Their introduction across the past decade has been strongly tied topreparing students for careers. As is evident from Draw-a-Scientist or Draw-a-Mathematicianresearch [25-27], young people already recognized that science and math provided more than skillsand knowledge; they are very relevant to having careers.
