The Institute approved thecurriculum that came to be known as the Sophomore Engineering Curriculum (SEC).Serendipitously the Electrical and Computer Engineering department, who were in themidst of a departmental curricular revision, adopted the SEC and required it for all theirsophomore students that coming fall. This decision meant the SEC would be offered foran entire department without piloting it first.In summer 1995, another team was formed to work out the details of the SEC. Twelvefaculty members, some of whom served on the conceptual team the previous summer, aswell as three students, met to develop the details of the program

50% of universityprograms in construction had a dedicated course in construction. In 1998, a surveyinvestigation by Coble et al. [11] looked at 4-year ACCE-accredited construction programsand the extent with which safety is integrated in their curriculum. The results showed that atthe time 45 of the 55 programs had a dedicated course in safety, primarily offered at thejunior/senior level, concentrating on OSHA standards for construction. Less than half of theprograms at the time provided an OSHA outreach training certificate to the students, while75% of the program faculty surveyed stated that they address safety in other courses.A survey of employers from 27 firms was conducted in 1998 by Smith and Arnold [12],which focused on the

While in academic settings both types of feedback aretypically provided by instructors, studies have shown that formative feedback provided bystudent peers has many benefits. When students review their peers’ work they engage in thecognitive processes of analysis, diagnosing problems, and suggesting solutions. Similarly, whenfeedback is utilized within a team setting, it supports the project goals by assessing the project’scurrent state, which tends to positively impact team effectiveness [1], [2].Giving and receiving feedback effectively improves students’ ability to work collaboratively.Specifically, Nicola et al.
