Peer reviewedLuescher, Andreas; Kutz, K. Scott – Technology Teacher, 2005
In the world of project execution, "design/build" is the convention. With its emphasis on the benefits of early involvement (integration of design, engineering execution, design-build, procurement, and construction decisions), it has become the dominant mode (Rothman, 2004). In this project, students explore the design/build principle of…
