The internship was designed as a three-way partnership betweenthe AGC-ERF, the faculty host institution, and the host company. The initial budget of theprogram was $30,000 funded in equal parts by the three internship partners. The internship wasfor a period of two months, and the faculty was a member of the jobsite management team at alevel similar to a project engineer or assistant project manager.

During this period, international student groups experienced the challenges ofestablishing effective working relationships over long distances and maintaining their teams’ cohesionover the duration of the project. Team work can be improved if students learn to appreciate the ways inwhich the team members’ cultural preferences will affect the team’s decision-making and performance.An evaluation instrument was developed and it is being tested during the current semester.

This paperreports on the results from including case studies in various courses at a diverse data set ofuniversities. The results strongly suggest that failure case studies support a subset of ABEToutcomes that may be referred to as the “Professional Component” of the curriculum.
