CENG 2353 was increased by an additional credit hour (wasCENG 2253, Fig 1) to accomplish the additional computer application requirements. Anadditional credit hour was already being quietly consumed since most students weretaking Technology’s three credit hour course TECH 1300 AutoCAD as a replacement forthe CENG 1201 two credit hour course that had not been offered due to limited CEdepartmental resources (Fig 1). This change now became permanent leaving oneadditional credit hour for CENG 3434 (Fig 2).The updated curriculum requires a student to take one course in each of the seventraditional sub-disciplines of CE and allows them to take a second course in five sub-disciplines

Such pedagogical technique has been extensively implementedfor professional training in medicine and related health professions, but given its educationalversatility, various engineering educators have embraced it as an alternative solution towardsalleviating instructional quandaries [1].

To test this, we collected data on three majorquestions: student perception of the importance of decision-making and leadership, actualstudent performance in the course, and student perception of
