and thereby creating a strong TEAM approach to design and construction. Theimplications derived in developing this program show the need for such investigations in otherschools of construction and architecture interested in pursuing a relevant and emerging domain ofeducation. This study recognizes the need for the existence of Design/Build and its integration andacceptance into professional programs.(Key Words: Design/Build, Internet Learning Environments)I. IntroductionFor over the past 100 years, the primary method of Project Delivery for construction projects hasbeen the Design/Bid/Build method. This cumbersome system does not allow an Owner to avoidconflicts between the A/E and Contractor during the project, while still attempting to
experience andprepare them for work. Like many engineering programs, students at Utah Valley University(UVU) complete their requirements for graduation with a semester long capstone design projectcourse. The intention of this course is to apply competencies gained during their first three yearstoward the solution of an embedded system design problem.Educational excellence requires exposing students to the current edge of research. To ensure thatstudent projects are along the same trajectory that the industry is moving, educators continuallyintroduce emerging techniques, practices, and applications into the curriculum.

].Adding to this, Feisel and Rosa [16] had identified three basic types of engineering laboratories:development, research, and educational. For practicing engineers, the development laboratory is preferredfor two reasons: (i) to obtain needed experimental data to guide them in designing and developing a product(ii) to determine if a design performs as intended. For engineering, these development experiments can bestructured in three ways [7]. They are [17-18]: 1) Observational Experiment: students perform to investigatea new phenomenon; 2) Testing Experiment: students use an explanation or relationship to make a predictionof the outcome; and lastly, 3) Application Experiment: student typically solves a practical problem ordetermining an unknown

About 67%agree or strongly agree with the statement “I enjoyed being part of the Learning Community,” andabout the same percentage feel better prepared for other college classes and that they improvedtheir writing skills.4.4 Discussion of the Assessment ResultsBased on this data we can conclude that students who are not part of a LC (i.e. the majority of ourstudents) and majoring in Computer Systems perform significantly better in the computer courses(CS1 and CS0) than in the English composition course (EG1). In contrast, for students in the LCgroup, performance in the EG1 course

background. Theseobjectives directly address some of the challenges of graduate education in EEE and relatedfields. The core topics (fundamental principles) of EEE were taught in-context with “CaseStories.” Each Case Story was built around contemporary issues, and included for example,history, regulations, interconnectedness, applications, processes and products. Weaving a cloth isa metaphor for this approach. At one end are the core topics (Appendix B) and at the other endare the program learning outcomes (Appendix A). The curriculum is the fabric that is woven toconnect the core topics to the learning outcomes. Module instructors chose a Case Story toprovide the context for the module, identified core topics (about five) to be covered, and
