In five of the classes, students were provided withtraditional instruction including textbook, lecture, projects, and tests while students in theremaining five classes used the same textbook and were tasked to design a water purificationdevice. Based on an analysis of pre-test and post-test performance, students participating in theengineer-design project not only demonstrated higher performance on post-test scores but alsodemonstrated a greater percentage of improvement [1].

this changed environment. One of the most common reasons cited for IPD failures is that the construction managers selected for these projects had difficulty adjusting their mindsets to operate within a collaborative environment despite being successful on other traditional projects. IPD is a collaborative approach to project delivery that requires a change from the traditional non-cooperative mindset that is pervasive throughout the construction industry. For decades, project team players (i.e. owners, contractors, subcontractors, designers, and other project participants) often do not cooperate with each other ingraining a non-cooperative spirit within construction managers. This spirit is

The design intent included an open air format allowing for equipment andworkspaces to be set up and used by students working on industry-sponsoredprojects. Knowing the projects require a 9-month to 1-year completion, and continuouslyevolving, the resources had to meet this challenge. To accommodate this an overhead electricalbuss system was installed. This allowed multiple voltage applications to be utilized safely. Inaddition, there is access to compressed air and water for projects requiring theseresources. Beyond the flexible

Teicholz noted that construction productivity has beenstagnant to slightly declining since 1964 while nonfarm industries have been increasing annuallyat 3.06%.5 The disparity builds between the two sectors until 2012 when the index value ofnonfarm productivity is more than 2-1/2 times greater than the construction index value. Inidentifying five possible causes for the construction industry’s dismal performance, Teicholznoted two – procurement based on competition rather than collaboration and data presented onpaper documents – that imply a traditional (read “non-innovative”) way of
