necessity of collaboration in projectsdue to sustainability requirements have changed the project delivery dynamics. The popularity ofdesign-build (DB) and its variations is increased since they facilitate a project processenvironment accommodating trust-based collaborative environment. Similar to domesticmarkets, there are many changing dynamics that affect the international construction arena. U.S.construction companies have a successful track record in international markets, and they led theinternational scene for many years due to their expertise in complex technical projects and theirefficient project management skills. However, their revenue share in international construction isin decline since the early 2000s for various reasons. The paper

By presenting and publishing this paper,the authors hope to learn from similar programs in practice, share our experiences, and perhapsinspire others to try such ventures.Literature reviewMany construction educators understand that learning through service can be very effective,providing students with opportunities to practice professional and independent learning skills inthe context of “real world” problems which they all seem to enjoy. According to Scott Stanfordet al. [1], service learning is one of the four emerging trends in engineering capstone courses,along with technology, multidisciplinary projects
