is a culmination of an in-depthstudy on the engineering behind all of the individual processes that contributed to it and is meantto demonstrate these processes to a public audience. Ancient engineering is rarely discussed inthe context of engineering education curriculums, and these cases frequently segregate differentand sometimes critical aspects in an attempt to distinguish each other. But by understanding theway a monument was constructed, students will also understand engineering principles, labormanagement, material and equipment ergonomics, and sustainability. In the study, most of the calculations, concepts, and theories were given textual explanation,proof, and diagrams explaining both general notions and specific details

information technology.Introduction and BackgroundIn recent years, there has been increasing consideration given to integrated curricula by constructionengineering and management faculty and industry advisors. According to Hauck and Jackson5 eachproposal has tried to address core problems associated with an overly segmented curriculum and thelack of project based learning in different ways. A model proposed by Hauck and Jackson5attempts to teach construction management as a series of labs integrating the various constructionmanagement courses into an active, applied learning experience. Their integrated curriculumproposal for the construction management department is centered on the creation of seven project-based seminars. They are as follows

Case studies are alsouseful in the education of the engineer and construction manager since they provide anopportunity for students to appreciate the problems of stakeholders to the construction process[21]. Other researchers have integrated case studies into engineering curriculum for differentpurposes [4, 16]. These include: Introductions to
-long learning principles and 3)incorporate an objective measure of student performance into the program’s curriculumdevelopment process. Currently in their second cycle, the revised instructional methods for thecapstone course also were designed to increase student-instructor interaction and studentengagement, and focus on students’ preferred learning styles. The revised methods have resultedin an increased breadth and complexity of problem-based learning assignments and an apparentimprovement in third-party test results. This paper is believed to offer a new perspective on anintegrated instructional approach and the use of third-party testing as an objective measure in theprogram’s curriculum development processIntroductionBowling Green State
Civil Engineers (ASCE) developed a BOK related to civilengineering and defined it as “the necessary depth and breadth of knowledge, skills, and attitudesrequired of an individual entering the practice of civil engineering in the 21st century”. 7 TheEnvironmental Engineering BOK8 authored by the American Academy of EnvironmentalEngineers (AAEE) is described as “the knowledge and core competencies integral to theunderstanding and practice of environmental engineering”. Other engineering focused BOKscan be described in a similar manner.As a result of engineering BOKs developed to reflect necessary knowledge and abilities,engineering educators have looked to the BOKs when developing and defining curricula.

Senior students were not able to articulate construction contract issues and their solutions with the traditional lecture approach of the class.The class structure was not stimulating the students in an actionable way or preparing them forthe construction industry as project managers, contractor representatives, and owners. Thestudents needed a thirty thousand foot view of construction contracts, and needed to understandhow the construction contract administration concepts integrate with the other constructionmanagement skills. The students also needed a mechanism to
