and the project was not presented in the means of policy, but based on twogoals. First, it enabled the students to apply the range of economic topics they learned throughoutthe semester. Second, it was to simulate a real-world project experience by working on a team toaddress various challenges. Participants were randomly placed into teams of four or five, totalingto 15 teams. There were seven teams assigned to Case Study 1 and eight teams assigned to CaseStudy 2. Each team was given four weeks to analyze their case study and write a report. Bothcase studies included four guiding questions (see Appendix C and Appendix D). Page 24.1211.4After

For examplein the specifications and architectural design tasks, all the students worked together to definehow signals would flow between modules; students gathered together again during the testingtasks. The following rules were established to facilitate and reward the collaboration andlearning:a) Personal accountability vs. team performance: Each student was responsible as individual for his product assignment (for example microcontroller HW&SW) while the team was responsible for the product.b) Co-tutoring: During the evaluation of the project any student could be required to explain, in detail, any design/implementation aspect.

However, the implementation of PtD in the constructionindustry faces several challenges that hinder its widespread adoption. This paper aims to betterunderstand the key factors negatively influencing civil engineers' ability to utilize PtD. Theresearch team, therefore, conducted a survey aimed at gathering insights from engineeringpractitioners regarding the factors that might impede its utilization and the role of engineers inits implementation. The findings indicate that various factors contribute to the challenge, suchas the absence of PtD educational materials
