While some projectsare earmarked for specific students as they tie into ongoing research either before or after theexternship, others are assigned based on student interest and faculty selection. Students entertheir preferences and faculty place students in an externship based on GPA, prerequisites, andfield of study, with GPA often being the primary factor.

The history of practice in civil engineering is, in largepart, the story of failures, both imminent and actual, and ensuing changes to designs, standardsand procedures made as the result of timely interventions or forensic analyses. In addition totechnical issues, professional and ethical responsibilities are highlighted by the relevant cases.Over the past five years the project extended the work of implementing and assessing casestudies from Cleveland State University to eleven other university partners, and broadened thescope to cover engineering
