The following section outlines the concepts and connections that can be madethroughout a curriculum using the delta function as a common narrative arc.DefinitionThe delta function is generally introduced through discrete time signal analysis as the Kroneckerdelta function or unit impulse δ[n], a piecewise function which has a value of 1 at n = 0 and 0everywhere else. This is an approachable and practical definition, as all discretely sampledsignals can be thought of as a summation of time-shifted and scaled unit impulses.

The recent move to outcomes-based accreditation by the American Councilfor Construction Education (ACCE) requires programs to utilize assessments to demonstratestudent achievement of specific student learning outcomes [1]. The standard dictates that at leastone of these must be a direct assessment. This has caused many construction programs toconsider different types of assessments to meet accreditation requirements.

There were someissues, however, that were particular to the types of projects selected and the limitations ofsophomore-level skills that need to be considered by anyone considering a similar program.The first issue is finding collaborative partners. This is not as simple as arranging projects for acapstone sequence.

Assigning the most technically competent engineer to a project withoutconsidering their global competency can be very costly for organizations. If these engineers fail,wasted travel and living expenses, lost contracts, and personal costs could be significant [2].Therefore, many employers state that cross-cultural competency is important for career developand actively recruit that skill set [3].For some time now, industry and academia have tried to
