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

Early in the Spring semester, theinstructor will request such input. Usually there are more requests for projects than there arestudents to work on them. Some students have contacts for summer jobs which they want to usefor field session, but this experience must be more than just a summer job. Each such request ishandled on a case by case basis to insure students get the full benefit of completing a designproject.Characteristics

Examples of resultant positive changes include clearer student deliverables andevaluator expectations, a more pragmatic approach to project scope and documentation, andmeaningful student/practitioner interaction at important project junctures.I.

At The University of Memphis, an inter-course project used role playing to introduce students to these “soft” enginwring skills. The inter-course project involved a senior elective in Discrete-Time Signal Processing (DSP), and a junior electronics course. Students within the courses were broken into teams or “companies” with the engineering goal of developing a signal processing system. Stu- dents prepared resumes and interviewed for positions with each “company.” DSP teams developed system-level specifications, and the electronics teams developed digital-t~analog converters to meet the specifications.

Teaching, Research, and Practice AbstractWe often compartmentalize our academic life into the areas of teaching, research, and practice.In fact, there are many synergies to be realized by treating a course as a completeecosystem. This means enlisting students in the course to work on projects to improve thecourse, and projects to help the instructor in research. Managing these projects can even giveinstructors a taste of what it is like to manage projects in industry, giving them experienceapplying course concepts in the field. Projects within the course can lead to independent-studyprojects, or even theses. With a little bit of ingenuity, this strategy can be employed in coursesfrom the introductory to
