These courses were: Managerial Issues I and II, Entrepreneurship and Human Resources.They were all exposed to our proposed model: a learning exercise based on challenges, by meansof which they had to propose a solution to a real problem involving technical competences of thecareer, as well as non-technical ones. The research has being conducted by 4 teachers of the engineering program, and the project lasted12 months. The GALEA laboratory was the origin of this proposal, as GALEA promotes teaching andlearning experiences based on alternative methods such as project based learning and

They could be used to add increased variety and depth to homework assignments,allowing the educational benefits of lab science to be realized outside of the classroom and thetime and procedural restrictions of in-class labs. Drawing inspiration from the work of Pinnell etal.

These constraintsstarted with the loss of all structural engineering faculty between mid 1999 and late 2000. Asnew faculty members were hired, there was a period of time during which very little researchwas conducted at OU's Fears Structural Engineering Laboratory. While the undergraduateprogram in structural engineering had been relatively unaffected, the graduate program wasvirtually non-existent.

demarcated, which makes contextual conditions important tothe analysis [8]. A case study methodology is not bound by any specific type of data but, more sothan other methodologies (e.g. historical, laboratory, etc.), requires the convergence of differenttypes of data sources for strengthening the validity and accuracy of the findings [8]. This meansthat case study research often requires multiple research methods for collecting data. One way that validity can be constructed in case study research is through the process ofcomparing and converging multiple sources of evidence, otherwise known as “triangulation” [8].For the case of Julie’s teaching and coaching, data included field notes, audio and visual materi-als (i.e. digital audio
