traditionalDesign Bid Build (DBB) Project Delivery Methods (PDMs). The major differences between DBand DBB is that in a traditional DBB, owner first hires an architect to develop the architecturaldesign, and engineers to develop structural, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing plans, andspecifications. The project is, then issued for bid to hire a general contractor, usually using acompetitive low bid procurement process. However, this system has often proven to developadversarial relationships among the project participants, majorly attributed to the lack ofcontractor's input in the design process, leading to change orders. Since the design process iscompleted with no contractor input, the probability of disputes deriving from behavioral andtechnical

]. Many researchers have found success with active learning methods by focusing onutilizing visual and hands-on activities. Hands-on learning has been used in small classroomswith enough success to plan a scale-up to larger lectures [10]. One method that has led to successin student learning is to use intuitive approaches to teach students concepts in a way that easilymakes sense, in Statics [11] as well as in other subjects [12] [13]. Another experiment compared two groups of students in which one group receivedclasses focused on hands-on manipulatives to solidify Statics concepts in addition to lectures.The other group only attended traditional lectures. This split continued until the midterm exam.For the rest of the course, the

In SER, in addition to learning aboutstylistic traits that distinguish technical writing from other styles, students learn to plan, writeand revise technical memoranda. Students are expected to apply this knowledge and skills, whenthey compose the two memoranda assigned in the co-requisite engineering course, Methods ofEngineering Analysis (MEA). After the students submit the first memo to their engineeringinstructors, the SER instructor provides students feedback and assigns revision tasks.

In keeping with the Next Generation Science Standards, which emphasize “planningand carrying out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered,” (3-5 ETS1-3) [27], the elementary students could create a testing plan (a genre). Using think-aloudsand discussion prompts, the teacher could model for students how to evaluate that genre usingthe discipline-specific evaluative frameworks generated from this study.

Because of the wide range of inexpensive sensors that can be used with the Arduinoplatform, it is now possible to include a much more open-ended experimental design assignmentin the course. During the Fall semester of 2018, students were required to identify anexperimental application for one sensor (from a selection provided by the instructor).

In a mechanical engineeringprogram, students have an added advantage of observing applied examples and verifyingmathematical models by experiments. Beginning with Statics, mathematical traces are recalledall the way to upper level courses such as ideal flows. Dynamics receives a pivotal importancefor this purpose. This final example also points out a new trend [1] that is developing in studentperformance (which defies our concerted planning efforts).One of the difficult conceptual areas that students

There is no reference to prototyping but in onepage when talking about detail design in “Flow of work during the process of planning anddesigning”: “In many cases, models and prototypes have to be developed even during the conceptual phase, particularly when they are intended to clarify fundamentals questions in, say, the precision engineering, electronics and mass production industries. In heavy engineering, on the other hand, if prototypes are needed at all, they must often be preceded by an almost complete run through of the detail design phase.” [45, p. 69]Another work by French on conceptual design for engineers lack any
