It will examine if perceived value of the credentialsand knowledge gained in the course is (a) generally positive or negative, (b) consistent across jobdescriptions (field of practice) (c) stable over time, and (d) consistent with employers’ view.Specifically, this paper looks at the

Through these meetings, the students developed a shared set of goals to be accomplishedduring the trip, created a detailed construction schedule, designated task leaders for eachconstruction task, and discussed and planned for various scenarios that might be encountered inthe field. Interdependence was high due to the complex and high-stakes nature of the project.
