The emphasis upon “Agility” in engineering andsoftware development was signaled by the Agile Manifesto in 2001. Seventeen industry softwareengineers declared a change in the software development process. Thomas, one of the group ofseventeen, became a noted Ruby on Rails evangelist and publisher8. Rails invites agility. Agilesoftware development, unlike the rigid, sequential “waterfall” model for software development,consists of development methods based on incremental and iterative steps.

. Planned work force development has helped in thepast for the job market at a specific point in time. The work force in the past two centuries wasgenerally geared towards industry needs based on conformity rather than creativity. Among thewell-known educational paradigms were behaviorism, constructivism, and cognitivist theory.B. F. Skinner, one of the main proponents of behaviorism, developed his idea of stimulusresponse and the role of reinforcement8, 9 in the learning theory. He argued that a human actionis the result of the consequences of the same action. If the consequences are positive the actionthat led to it is likely to be repeated; if the consequences are negative, the action is not likely tobe repeated. According to behaviorism, a

Data from all first, second, andthird-year students in the Building Construction Science (BCS) program at Mississippi StateUniversity were collected using a quantitative survey. The survey covered different aspects ofstudents’ experiences and decisions. The results showed that both male and female students wereattracted to the program because of job opportunities, relatively high salary, and the challengingnature of the program.
