This integration included a culminating design project that required the constructionmanagement and civil engineering students to work together on the initial design of a skyscraper,including the tentative cost, scheduling, and conceptual design renderings. Key course elementsfor this study abroad program included China, mega, ideas and innovation, sustainability,teamwork and leadership, global awareness, character development, and technical excellence.These will be discussed in greater detail later in this paper.Part I: Course

The Department of Materials Science andEngineering is unique in the Faculty in that it has a significant communication-focused course ineach of years two, three and four of the degree program (see Table 1, next page). Each of thecourses is content-based, and each builds on the skills acquired in the one(s) before it, lookingforward to both the capstone project in the fourth year (thesis or industrial research project(IRP)) and professional practice.In MSE390, each of the deliverables goes through several iterations and receives extensivefeedback from both faculty and peers.

The prevailingdifficulties of last several years have made it extremely challenging to succeed in the globaleconomy. It is anticipated, however, that the global construction output will recover to grow 70percent by 2025 – to $15 trillion.10 In view of aforementioned challenges and globalization, andin light of emerging construction technologies, the Construction Management (CM) Program inthe Lyles College of Engineering at Fresno State has recently revamped its curriculum to betterprepare future leaders of the construction industry. Accordingly, the CM program hasincorporated leadership and entrepreneurship development as an

A four-year engineering design educationcurriculum is still not widely adopted in engineering colleges in the United States and is oftenlimited to an introductory first-year engineering class and a fourth-year capstone project [57].In 1969, Simon published the work Science of the Artificial extending the cognitive andpsychological aspect of creative design thinking, central to the work of Arnold, and thesystematic design thinking of Archer, to AI [58]. Simon’s work further developed the science ofdesign in cybernetics and AI, positing it as distinct from the natural sciences and as a designtheory for engineering.

The exams were an individual effort; thus, giving the Instructor anopportunity to gauge each individual student’s level of understanding and competency with thepavement design concepts and MEPDG software. Because of the smaller class size, the graduate course was structured more of a project-centric course and included very few traditional problem-based homework assignments. Amajority of the homework assignments required the MEPDG software for generating solutionsand were to be completed individually. There were two exams which were take-home, open-note format and individually completed. Because the graduate students are challenged to a morerigorous level, the MEPDG software was required to solve 50 percent of the problems in

Therefore, we are planning to implement an exit survey for thesenior design sections within our department to ask students if they took this course and if/how ithelped them with their senior project. We also plan to examine the senior project scores todetermine if there is any correlation between taking this course and improved senior projectperformance.We will also investigate methods to scale up the enrollment size of the course.

However, simply discussing expectations and work preferencesopenly during recruiting phases can give students and advisors better information on which tobase their decisions. Another tool that participants suggested was to hold a seminar series aboutgraduate school as part of an undergraduate capstone course. Prospective students will thenunderstand what is expected of them before beginning a research project with the advisor.Knowing what is expected of the student before beginning research will limit the number ofcases where they subsequently leave the group due to a mismatch between student and advisorexpectations. Participants also suggested that even if advisor and group expectations are madeclear
