This additionaldata will allow the researchers to investigate whether these patterns continue to hold.IntroductionA number of studies have assessed the value of including failure case studies in the civilengineering curriculum. It has been argued that failure case studies should be integrated into theengineering curriculum, early enough in order for young professionals to connect with theproblems encountered by engineers and perhaps trigger interest, excitement, and relevance of theprofession. In other words, exposing students to factors that result to failure and disaster canhelp them

In this course, the students learn about planning, organizing, and monitoring aproject. The scenarios involve the sequences of activities involved in bringing a new project intoAVI.
