hypothesis that there is a statistically significantdifference in academic performance of students attending a minimester and regular semester.Minimester students perform better than those enrolled in a regular semester. Obviously, theminimester students grasped the concepts and materials faster than their counterparts, and coulduse them well during the exams.However, the results of the study must be taken with some caution. It was done for only one coursein a semester and, therefore, the findings cannot be generalized. The study will hopefully generateenough interest to do further research on predicting performance of students in other courses.Bibliography1. Anastasi, J. S. (2007).

pursued this opportunity by seeking to use the construction sites as the basis for acourse on the construction process and the roles engineers have in construction. In other words,the projects were used as active learning “centers” through which students will learn and applyengineering concepts and the construction process.Construction engineering education is not new, dating back to the 1950’s 1, and industry hasplayed in important role in the establishment of such programs. The Construction Engineeringand Management degree program at Purdue University, established in 1972, has stronguniversity-industry collaborations in program development and delivery4.

factors have been identified that could affectconstruction safety. Among these factors is the provision of construction safety education toengineering students. It is also believed that there is a greater ability to influence safety on aproject earlier in the project‟s life cycle and such ability diminishes as the schedule moves fromconceptual design toward start-up. Thus, provision of construction safety education toengineering students will have benefits both for the project design and later in the procurementstage.Construction safety education for engineering students may involve two main aspects;construction site safety and design for construction safety (DfCS). Progress has been made inthe developed countries to incorporate both aspects in

It was determined a 10 kW Jacob 23-10 wind turbine wasthe most efficient renewable wind energy system for the house.

In contrast to some sophomore and junior level courses which focuson fundamentals of materials, this class uses the PBL approach in addition to lectures, andthereby enables students to confront open-ended workplace problems. To promote criticalthinking through the course of the whole class, the instructor emphasized the point that inaddition to being aware of the options in the “Tool Box”, it is equally (if not more) important tobe cognizant of what “Tool(s)” to use.
