expected that a broadknowledge foundation can be applied to specific projects. However, the authors propose thatPBL by itself is only the first step in revising engineering education in general and constructioneducation specifically. To enhance the education experience, educators should move furthertowards integrating the cognitive concept of broad knowledge application and transformation inall levels of courses and not limited to capstone experiences. Specifically, it is proposed thatconstruction educators adopt a cognitive concept that has emerged from the authors’ PBLexperience and introduced as the Knowledge Landscape approach. In this approach, students arerequired to solve project scenarios with a diverse range of external and internal
