The use of Past Projects as Means to Enhance the Education Experience of Civil Engineering Students

Abstract:

In view of the importance of undergraduate students cognitive learning experience in higher education, this study was conducted in order to investigate the effectiveness of the use of past civil engineering projects as case studies. The outcomes indicate that the use of case studies enhances the students educational experiences that conduce to cognitive learning and motivate for future ethical practice. In general, the use of case studies reassures the students aspiration in becoming practicing civil engineers upon graduation.
