As a bi-product, the online version now gives students the opportunity to take thiscourse in the 12-week summer term, which was previously unavailable live.This study will not attempt to compare the online delivery system with other systems, as it hasbeen widely proven that the system itself is not a determinant for successful learning experience[1], [2].

Additionally,a 30-second time penalty was assessed for each incorrect answer. Students were provided with aformula sheet, and were encouraged to use a calculator, blank paper, and writing utensils.The class consisted of 17 teams of 3-4 students. All teams successfully escaped all 6 rooms in anaverage (h:mm:ss) of 0:43:50 [range: 0:14:30-1:07:28]. Very few groups used hints, as moststudents did not want to be assessed a time penalty.

The project of liberation is the project of daring to imagine.IntroductionTeaching takes place in a physical space with configured interactions of the instructor with thestudents. The traditional mode of education presupposes the instructor as an authority“depositing” knowledge into the “clean-slates” (students’ minds), who in turn regurgitate thatdeposited (memorized) knowledge in assessments. This is described as the banking concept ofeducation by Freire [1]. This model discourages creative engagement of the student with theworld and encourages uncritical acceptance of the oppressive power structures. This process

This paper focuses on the preliminary development of the groundedtheory model.IntroductionThere are limitations in the current understanding of leadership that necessitate further study ofhow the concept is defined and developed in civil engineering and construction (CEC). In theCEC literature, leadership focuses on who a leader is and their skills or actions, which maps tothe trait and behavior periods, respectively, in leadership studies [1]. These periods weredominant in the first half of the 20th century in leadership studies but still dictate the conversationin CEC education and practice. These leader-centric paradigms focus on leader development,training charismatic technical experts for supervisor roles, instead of leadership
