The hands-on approach in learningusually is the method of choice for the construction students. Engineering and technology courses alwayscontained learning-by-doing components. However, to maximize the student’s natural talents manyconstruction courses are taught as “active learning in a group environment.” The classes are typicallydivided into teams of three students.
