, the challenge of a longitudinal study isto quantify how good a decision-maker a subject actually is. The recommended approach is toassemble a panel of experts from the local construction industry to serve as judges. The panelinterviews each one of the participating subjects before and after the exercise is executed todetermine if their decision-making skills have changed. Members of the panel do not know thegroup to which each subject belongs (experimental or control). Panel members should receiveproper training in order to make sure that they respond in a consistent and reliable manner. Thedecision-making skills of each subject can be evaluated through the introduction of ahypothetical situation in the same topical area as the exercise. They

opportunities for undergraduate programs in construction management to engage incross-curricular efforts to stimulate team building and a broader understanding of theinterrelatedness of construction activities. A suggestion for further research would be thedevelopment of a pilot study to explore ways to further develop such integration.Bibliography1. Young, N.W., Jones, S.A., Bernstein, H.M. & Gudgel, J.E.
