this research was to explore the use of student internships as a means of benchmark-ing best practices in the construction industry while providing synergistic benefits for all stake-holders involved in the process. The objective was to design a model internship program involv-ing faculty, students, and participating companies that could actively introduce students to sys-tematic methods of inquiry and industry best practices while increasing their resourcefulness andvalue to companies during their industry experience. The model should also provide a platformfor engaging faculty by providing a means of gathering difficult-to-obtain data from industry thatcould be used for research purposes, and it should return that data in aggregated form to

In research it is unknown by all; in inquiry it is onlyunknown by the learner” (Fortenberry1, 1998, p.54). This implies that learning through inquiry isfundamentally equivalent, in the student’s perspective, to conduction of research. To the studentthere is no difference.Institutional SupportUnfortunately “many faculty, departments, and institutions struggle with initiating, sustaining,and enhancing their research programs on campus despite the national attention given to thebenefits of undergraduate research,” (Karukstis3, 2006, p. 1744).

However,equity in science learning reflects broader responsibility, embodied by the social justice model:the obligation to prepare all students to participate in a postindustrial society with an equalchance at attaining the accompanying social goods—rights, liberties and access to power (Lynch,2000, p. 16). In order for the science learning to be equitable, it is necessary to have “full and activeparticipation in a contextually equitable classroom” (Krockover and Shepardson, 1995, p. 224).Lee (2003) posits: “from an anthropological perspective, science teaching should enable studentsto make smooth
