The motivation behind the decision to add this project was to assign acourse project that: 1) provided the students with a hands-on way to learn about concrete mixdesign and the sustainable aspects of concrete, 2) required the students to work in teams and 3)allowed the students to be creative and think outside the box. These were set as three goals of theterm project and their success was evaluated through

most pressing science and engineering challenges are trans-national innature and many of the leading scientific and engineering resources are located outside theUnited States. In order to remain at the forefront of science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM), the United States needs to nurture a globally-engaged STEM workforcecapable of performing research in an international environment.
