The case study methodologyshowcased the student’s readiness to perform different tasks while on the job as a result ofacademic and stimulatory preparations through the construction management program of study.The following list explains the common case study protocol that guided the researchers’methodology (adapted from Yin, 1994)1:  Purpose and rationale for case study  Significance of the international industry practiceResearch questions: is an international internship of value to the CM student and if positive can this value be quantified?  Design based on

diverseteams; to reflect and act ethically; to engage in lifelong learning; and to design in context.However, there are few courses in engineering curricula that could encompass all thesecompetencies in one single course. “Construction Regulations and Organizational Management”is a graduate/senior level course that is designed and introduced to the Civil Engineeringcurriculum with these objectives in mind. A Project-Based-Learning (PBL) course in nature, thefirst module of the course engages student teams to research on the engineering entrepreneurshipand the required regulations for starting a design/construction firm either in the United States orinternationally. As the course progresses, the students will make presentations on safety,environmental
