The Quebec Bridge was the longestcantilever structure attempted until that time. In its final design, it was 1,800 ft long. Thebridge project was financially troubled from the beginning. This caused many setbacks in thedesign and construction. Construction began in October 1900. Figure 1 shows the state of construction just beforethe collapse. In August 1907, the bridge collapsed suddenly. Seventy-five

Further, case studies offer an opportunity forinterdisciplinary discussions centered on human dignity and justice goals [8] and likewisedevelop empathy for the users impacted by the project. Empathy is increasingly beingrecognized for the central role it may play in connecting crucial inter- and intrapersonal skillswith enhanced abilities to understand and productively work in multidisciplinary environmentswith diverse stakeholder groups [9].

In fact, the instructor’s campusreputation in this regard was one significant reason the project PI contacted the instructor aboutjoining the project. The adoption of this technology-based instruction process for most all of theclass meetings seemed to the instructor to be a significant departure from his ExCEEd roots.Similarly, the project PI

The exams were an individual effort; thus, giving the Instructor anopportunity to gauge each individual student’s level of understanding and competency with thepavement design concepts and MEPDG software. Because of the smaller class size, the graduate course was structured more of a project-centric course and included very few traditional problem-based homework assignments. Amajority of the homework assignments required the MEPDG software for generating solutionsand were to be completed individually. There were two exams which were take-home, open-note format and individually completed. Because the graduate students are challenged to a morerigorous level, the MEPDG software was required to solve 50 percent of the problems in
