. Academic performance for both the groups was done using six assignments ten quizzesand three tests during the semester. The final grade was a weighted average of the assignments,quizzes, and tests. The assignments were worth 30 percent, the quizzes were worth 10 percent, andthe tests were worth 60 percent of the total. Total numerical grade obtained by a student wasconverted to letter grade using the system shown in Table 1.Table 1: Grading system Numerical grade in percentage Letter grade 90 -100 A 80-89 B 70-79

for this population.LimitationsSeveral limitations were faced through the implementation of this study. The training programwas administered to 104 structural steel workers in the metropolitan area of San Juan, PR, andmay not represent the whole population of Hispanic steel workers in other areas across theUnited States. Furthermore, the study was limited to a maximum population sample of 104structural steel workers.References[1] Bratcher, B., Ruttenberg, R., and Obando, M., “Analysis of Work-Related Safety and Health Hazards of Unrepresented Workers in the Iron Industry,” The Center for Costruction Research and Training(February), (2010).[2] The Center for Construction Research and Training (CPWR), [The Construction Chart
in order to further the possibility of creating an extension of the uses of grey-water by code. Once an acceptable system is established, the local government is all that is needed to be convinced, with no need for any more guerrilla builders. Student B: Allen and Woelfle-Erskine need to at first come up with a slightly more qualified system as opposed to bathtubs. The idea is great of course, but working with a company like Rewater might be a good place to start in developing a cheap system that isn't $7,000, but is slightly more defined than pvc pipe into tubs and barrels. After they come up with a solid system then they should look into applying to change the code in whichever way

In order to help alleviate these common barriers, two faculty members at Auburn University designed and implemented a 10-day Service-Learning class to Quito, Ecuador. An international Service-Learning class is defined as: "A structured academic experience in another country in which students (a) participate in an organized service activity that addresses identified community needs; (b) learn from direct interaction and cross- cultural dialogue with others; and (c) reflect on the experience in such a way as to gain a deeper appreciation of the host country and, an enhanced sense of their own responsibilities as citizens, locally and

control of workhazards, and (b) interpretation of safety regulations [. In construction safety classes, students areoften asked to demonstrate their hazard recognition abilities by taking and critiquing on-site Page 26.1675.3images, or reporting a job site visit. Visits to construction sites are unique experiences thatcannot be completely replaced by other learning methods. However, they come with a number ofconstraints (sometimes even safety hazards) and cannot be arranged as often as needed [12].Many of the key technical principles that students should learn can be illustrated through casestudies [20]. Normally, these cases can help students
