. 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

AlthoughCMT students are required to take Calculus for Technology, algebra based physics andtechnology engineering science courses, substitutions frequently are given for the more rigorousengineering courses. The University studied typically has an 80% transfer rate into CMT.In order to compare the ALEKS and ACT scores with the student course grades, the grades wereconverted from the letter grade to a corresponding numerical value. For an “A” the value a 9, fora “B” the value is an 8, “C” is 7, “D” is 6 and “F” is 5. For students who have taken a coursetwice, there is a 5.5

two groups of 30 constructionstudents: the first group included students with prior project time managementknowledge (Group A) whereas the second group consisted of students without any priorknowledge (Group B). The students’ data were captured and retrieved automaticallywithout any human interaction. A quantitative research method was used for analyzingthe data and a retrospective post- survey was conducted to obtain participants’perceptions of the application. The results indicated the effectiveness of PERFECT andsupported the expansion and further development of similar simulation applications.This type of evidence-based learning system not only enhances the validity andreliability of the application, but has a potential for incorporation

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

SeeAppendices A and B for instructions and point criterion. The typed research papers were duebefore each debate and required students to cite referenced materials, cases and summarize theirlegal position and arguments. Students had to attach any supporting articles so that the instructorcould review their sources for relevance to the case.The overall point values increased from the first to the third mediation. All mediations had a 25point verbal debate component grade. However, the written research component point valuesincreased with each subsequent

) building rating system provides sometechnical guidelines, but not necessarily exact paths to success. Consequently, the guidelines arecreated for any discipline involved in designing and constructing a building, not just constructionmanagers, thus guidelines specifically focused for construction managers is needed. Further,specific technical guidelines towards a specialization, such as electrical, demolition, orhealthcare, would help to provide more depth for the students interested in these areas ofconstruction.
