Envision and the role ofcognitive barriers in decision making. These outcomes will help students recognize the impactsthese barriers have on multiple stakeholder groups, as well as how certain planning tools andframeworks may be used to overcome them.Introduction There is currently great need for a restructuring of engineering education. As societycontinues to grow in technology, information, and complexity, the traditional approach ofteaching information about a subject is becoming insufficient. Now in the Internet age, one of thegreatest challenges is for students to make sense of an overabundance of information (Allenby2011). Today more than ever, students need interdisciplinary knowledge to better address thecomplex and multifaceted

They then surveyed both alumni and students who took these classesand found out that there was a statistically significant difference between the two programs in thestudents and graduates abilities to address complex technological problems.With the industry moving towards a more integrated approach of project delivery, existingmisperceptions between the design and construction professionals may hinder the establishmentof cohesive and collaborative work environments. As suggested by various studies (4), thisproblem should thus be addressed early on during students’ undergraduate years through
