expected that a broadknowledge foundation can be applied to specific projects. However, the authors propose thatPBL by itself is only the first step in revising engineering education in general and constructioneducation specifically. To enhance the education experience, educators should move furthertowards integrating the cognitive concept of broad knowledge application and transformation inall levels of courses and not limited to capstone experiences. Specifically, it is proposed thatconstruction educators adopt a cognitive concept that has emerged from the authors’ PBLexperience and introduced as the Knowledge Landscape approach. In this approach, students arerequired to solve project scenarios with a diverse range of external and internal

Design in Engineering Education

ProjectsAbstractIn this paper, the use of impromptu design as a tool for introducing the engineering designprocess is discussed. In a typical impromptu design exercise, a simple design problem, capableof being completed in a short amount of time, is solved by teams of engineering students. Insolving the design task, the students organically progress through the engineering design process.This provides a unique opportunity to introduce beginning engineering students to the designprocess and to reinforce engineering design concepts for more senior students. This paperfocuses on the development of impromptu design projects, the use of this activity to introducethe engineering design process, and thoughts and observations gained over three years of usingthis

Forexample, the estimating tasks would require students to be comfortable with performing planreading, quantity take-off, labor/material pricing, construction cost database analysis, andcontingency/profit calculation tasks and considerations. Similarly, selection of material andmethods for the project require an understanding of each available method, related toconstruction cost, schedule and safety concerns.It is extremely important to emphasize the communication aspect of preconstruction serviceswhile they are introduced in construction courses.

Plant layout and quality controlcourses came too late in the curriculum (6th or 7th semester) to allow for a series of engagements.A fourth semester course had recently been redesigned to combine work methods and study withmanagerial engineering.

Faculty hypothesized that these challenges are associated withlack of prior experience in developing a comprehensive collaborative proposal that integratesystems thinking and different perspectives in the ideation phase. An improvement to the seniorproject proposals is desired and it is hypothesized that improvements can be achieved byintroducing experiences earlier in the curriculum. At this time, the curriculum in both thearchitectural and in the civil engineering program only includes one subject where studentsengaged with the various program subdisciplines.
