being involved in the design of a dam per se, it was deemed appropriate that this topic still needed to be taught with more appropriate examples. These would be forces on embankment structures whether permanent or temporary during construction, forces on basement walls when proper drainage is not provided, and force consequences on underground tanks manufactured/built from different kinds of materials. There also needs to be emphasis on what can happen when one in not knowledgeable about the possible consequences resulting from hydrostatics during or even after construction. b. Buoyancy: It was decided that teaching of this topic should continue with probably no

the authors, thepaper provides a foundation for changing current education approaches from a lecture-basedformat to a project-based format. In this format, students are challenged with open-endedproblems requiring greater application of multiple engineering concepts as well as requiringinteraction with outside experts from within the construction industry and related professions.An outline for a project-based learning course is presented with experiences and lessons learnedfrom four implementations of the course. Student responses are presented to indicate thepotential benefits of such an approach. This finding is further supported by the introduction ofthe Knowledge Landscape concept for construction education that emphasizes greater use

Writing Exercises in Construction ManagementAbstract The University requires that at least two core courses in any academic program within thesystem be writing intensive. Under a writing intensive program, students write about assignedtopics that are discipline specific as would be created in professional situations within theirrespective fields. Writing exercises are evaluated on both technical content and proper writingstandards. This combination of technical and applied writing standards assists students inlearning to apply better communication standards for technical presentations. In Construction Management, practicing professionals must respond to a variety ofsituations that range from technical
