not exclude collaborations. Students engage in self-defined projects co-linear withtheir interests. The instructor takes on a mentoring role, offering guidance or advice whenhelpful. This requires an instructor/mentor to allocate a good deal of individual attention toeach student, and thus does necessitate small class sizes.While constructionism is a very natural approach to learning, it is not, in its pure form,compatible with the constraints often faced in higher education, particularly class size andcurriculum. When dealing with a large class, it is difficult to address the needs ofindividual students that arise from a self-paced learning format. Furthermore, it is difficult

civil construction encompasses a wide range ofvery different projects involving very large operations. Contractors must be able to prepareestimates that are competitive enough to secure contracts yet allows reasonable profit uponsuccessful completion of the projects. In reality, the success of both contractors and owners ofmajor projects is dependent upon the construction estimating skills of key individuals within acompany or an agency. Poorly prepared estimates can lead to distressful results such asfinancial insolvency and abandoned projects.
