Sometimes they struggle greatly to carry their part of the work for the team to completion. This group does not necessarily correspond to the lower GPA students. The department hopes to explore further how to facilitate better open-ended problem solving earlier in the students’ careers. Perhaps this reflects the need for a combination of the triplet of Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes necessary for successful civil engineering practice. • There continues to be some confusion with the multiple
