Technology course which is a core coursefor Construction Management students at Illinois State University. The objective of bowling ballproject was to demonstrate the behavior of fiber reinforcement within concrete, to gainexperience in forming and fabricating a fiber-reinforced concrete, and to encourage creativity inmix design predictions and analysis testing. The students received instruction and guidelines forthis project early in the semester so that they can start thinking about different mix ingredientsand how to prepare concrete bowling ball. However, this project was conducted in the last threeweeks of the semester. Students worked together in groups to perform all the steps of the projectfrom design to manufacturing and testing. Survey
