Each 8-week summer research experience consists of four weeks in aninternational host country and four weeks at UAB. The four weeks abroad are preceded by twoweeks in the U.S. dedicated to orientation, project assignments, project planning, and preparingthe students for the international experience. Following the international experience, the studentsspend a minimum of another two weeks at UAB working on their final research project reports,preparing presentations, and developing manuscripts and posters for presentation at

, studies have shown that student learning improves when classprojects are presented and reviewed by a much broader audience and that feedback from multiplesources improves overall academic performance4,5. In this study, these motivating factors areincorporated by augmenting “conventional” class projects into web-based projects using anonline platform that makes them accessible to a wider technical audience.Graduate-level civil engineering courses often have a project component. These “conventional”projects give students the opportunity to apply skills and knowledge acquired in the classroom,synthesize information, and independently study a specific topic in greater depth than couldpossibly be accommodated in the allotted contact hours.

, whileAlexander and Murphy21 support that expertise requires development of knowledge “coherentlyorganized around key domain concepts and principles” (pg. 566). Consequently, conceptualknowledge is factual, yet structured, complex, and interrelated.Acquiring conceptual knowledge has been described as more than just memorizing facts, butindicates that the learner knows something. For instance, Montfort et al.2 describes thatconceptual knowledge is “internal” and relates knowledge with intuition, stating that “you don’tremember something you understand conceptually, it is just true” (pg. 111). Similarly, Streveleret al.3 recounts that conceptual knowledge provides engineers with “engineering judgment” or“heuristic thinking” that is necessary for them to
