The first two projects were made upprojects, the hotel was basically the cost estimate of a possible hotel, and the Bigelow Boulevardproject was the redesign of a road that cuts through our campus. The last two were real projectswith actual clients. Trinity Acres was a non-profit organization that was looking for a conceptanalysis to use as a starting point to expand a site for a youth camp, and the Kuna Nega projectwas a water system expansion project outside Panama City, Panama.

A total of 37 reports were examined for evidence of the desired behaviors, results of which are shown in Table 5. Only one moderately strong correlation was seen – for the behavior ‘estimate uncertainties in results’. Estimating uncertainties is a concept that students historically find difficult in this course, and it makes sense that students who can master the most difficult concepts will perform at a higher level and earn higher grades. However, other than this one behavior, all of the correlations were weakly positive for the individual behaviors, although there was a strong positive
