Why does this scenario of enthusiastic learning seem to run counter to most people’s perceptions ofa “normal” classroom? We certainly don’t claim to have all the answers to that question, but we do have afew ideas we’d like to share.Background In 1994 a proposal for “A Partnership for Excellence in Engineering Technology Education”resulted in a grant from the National Science Foundation - Advanced Technological Education program.The “Partnership” involves several Penn State campuses (with the York campus the focus), the York cityhigh school, the York County vocational-technical school, several York area industries, and thePennsylvania

Typical enrollment is 60 students.Many students have had limited exposure to construction so their understanding of industryterminology may be limited. In order to bring students to some level of understanding there hasto be some terminology introduced. In addition to the Civil Engineering students taking theclass, there are usually some students from other areas such as, Environmental Engineering,Geological Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineeringand Business. Many of these non CEE students take the class because they are interested inconstruction, have worked in
