None of the students in either offering had taken either classespreviously and all were architectural engineering majors with a structural focus. Also, the sameset of students were mandated to take both classes in their 4th year. As such, the student populationis identical from one class to the next which allowed for identical teams in both semesters. Thisresearch study has had two deployed iterations, the first was in the 2017-2018 academic year whilethe second was in the 2018-2019 academic year.

In terms of computational tools,until Spring 2019, students were using Excel but because of limitations with using Excel duringexams, they were also instructed on using calculators and statistical tables on paper, for theirexams. This created student resistance to use of Excel, with students complaining that they couldnot see why they were made to use Excel, when their exams required only a calculator and tableson paper. Therefore, one motivation behind the project implementation was to lead the studentsinto discovering the value of computational tools. The project also created an appropriate carrierto transition to a more powerful for statistical

the foundation stones of an arch, the new courses are called “Springers”because they serve as the foundations of the transformed curriculum. Through a project-basedlearning approach, Springer courses mimic the senior capstone experience by immersing studentsin a semester-long practical application of civil engineering , exposing them to concepts andtools in a way that challenges students to develop new knowledge that they will build on and useduring their junior and senior years. In the 2019 spring semester, a pilot of the first Springercourse introduced students to three civil engineering sub-disciplines: construction management,water resources, and transportation. The remaining sub-disciplines are covered in a follow-onSpringer 2 pilot. The
