Understanding by Design (UbD) described by Froyed et al as an increasinglypopular tool for educational planning that is a teaching method focused on a betterunderstanding of students throughout a design process 8.4. MethodologyTo appraise the potential benefits of the DAD Project, as an example of employment of full-scale physical models in civil engineering education, a ‘mixed method’ has been utilised. Toelaborate, mixed methods are defined as the third methodological approach following thequantitative and the qualitative methods. In a mixed method, data collection or analysis maybe done

Most all of the freshmen freeform comments have beenpositive. The most common problems freshmen have vocalized about their senior managers overthe years have been related to senior teams being unresponsive or resistant to involving thefreshmen in their projects in a meaningful way. To address this problem after the first year, wenow specifically assess the plans of senior teams’ for freshman workers in their proposal rubrics,before they are ever assigned freshman employees.
