described by McIntyre, students in problem-basedlearning environments “are challenged to „learn to learn‟ so that they can achieve their highestpotential in their chosen professions.”1 Just as a capstone completes a building or archway, thecapstone course finishes off the students‟ learning as they prepare to graduate and enter theworkforce.This paper describes the process used by the construction management program in Ball StateUniversity‟s capstone in construction course. This course, jointly created and refined by theprogram‟s faculty, utilizes three major distinctive features: team teaching, team learning, andsignificant industry involvement. By describing how these features have evolved over the years,the authors provide their course as a case

has always been believed that if there is a “fit”between the learner‟s preferred teaching style and method of instruction, the outcome wouldbe happier and more academically successful learners, although research often fails to sustainthis theory6 . As observed from the reviewed literature, one of the main problems inassociating the magnitude of data to successful learning is that knowledge is augmenting at anexponential rate7, 5. If teaching concentrates merely on content and opportunities to developmeta-cognitive strategies are limited, alumni will experience significant difficulty keeping up-to-date with their respective disciplines5. Whilst joining in with the debate, Kolb8 saw learningas a cyclical process comprising of a series of

Increases in the comfort level with tablets was expected, as allstudents were loaned an iPad tablet for the semester.

. Descriptive studies suggest intellectual gain is associatedwith undergraduate research [8]. A few very well-designed assessment studies have demonstratedthat students involved in research perceive an intellectual gain from such experiences. This type ofproject is quite suitable for Independent Study/Research by a student or a group of students. For thistype of study, the Faculty prepares a contract for the student(s) that details the scope of work to beaccomplished and the deliverables including a final report detailing the procedures and resultsobtained. It is known that research invariably leads to a better understanding of and a deeperappreciation for the material under investigation.Several undergraduate Construction Management Technology

. It is generally accepted thatattending classes is an important aspect of college experience.10Studies reveal that there is a relationship between absenteeism and student performance incourses9. The hypothesis that there is a strong relationship between class attendance and studentlearning has been investigated empirically in journals of higher education. It is not surprising thatmost studies have found an inverse relationship between being absent from the class and courseperformance10,11,12,13.Studies have been conducted on the inverse relationship between absenteeism and studentperformance in different courses at college level.
