Some of the MS growth challenge came from struggles that studentsoften have in formulating targeted questions and/or hypotheses about construction managementproblems, selecting appropriate methodologies to answer the research question or test thehypotheses, as well as difficulties experienced from the poor preparation of incoming studentsfor academic writing.

Gransberg et al, conducted a research study that analyzed the relationship betweenthe amount paid in the design phase to develop plans and specifications with the difference incosts between the engineer’s initial estimate of the project and the actual construction final costs[6] . The difference between these amounts is called “cost growth from the initial estimate”(CGIE). Traditionally, the metric used to determine cost growth in construction projects onlytakes into consideration the original construction contract award and the final contract costs. TheCGIE is an approach to measure if the amount of time and resources

While PBL focuses on higher-order thinkingand better retention of knowledge over a longer period of time, it may lessen students’ initialknowledge acquisition 19.
