To facilitate implementation, thepreviously listed seven project management activities are integrated into existing work as muchas possible. Specifically, they are completed and assessed as part of five distinct assignments: a. Project Proposal: includes amongst other things project management activities of scope definition, schedule or milestones, and communication plan. b. Design Report: in addition to the technical design work, includes a detailed cost estimate that is the basis of the team’s approved budget. c. Commissioning and Test Plan d.

Figure 2(b) showsthat approximately 60% of the class had taken the pre-requisite class. Work experience was considered an important variable because students who had hands-onexperience, whether through a previous internship or a full-time job, were expected to bring inadditional knowledge, practicality, and mature thinking to the project. The work experience didnot have to be in CEE, keeping in mind that most students would have at most a few months ofexperience. The results are shown
