建筑工程和管理教育的公认方法早就认识到，学生需要学习技术和非技术能力的结合。然后，教育工作者制定他们的课程，以促进这些能力的学习，然后评估学生的理解。对于成本估算这样的能力，这些任务可以通过讲座、带回家的问题和笔试来完成。然而，非技术能力的发展，如领导能力和沟通技巧，需要更高层次的方法。本文介绍了一项对照研究的结果，使用基于问题的学习（PBL）教这些技能和能力。实验结果使用Quinn（2004）开发的竞争价值框架（CVF）进行测量。结果显示，学生设定目标以及识别和组织活动以最好地实现这些目标的能力在统计上有显着提高。包括文献综述，以显示为什么PBL是非常适合教非技术能力，以及技术能力。
The accepted methodologies for construction engineering and management education have long recognized that students need to learn a combination of technical and non-technical competencies. Educators then develop their curricula to facilitate learning of these competencies and then assess the students’ understanding. For a competency such as cost estimating, these tasks can be accomplished through lectures, take-home problems, and written examinations. However, the development of non-technical competencies such as leadership abilities and communication skills require higher level methods. This paper describes the results of a controlled study that used problem based learning (PBL) to teach these skills and abilities. The results of the experiment were measured using the Competing Value Framework (CVF) developed by Quinn (2004). The results show a statistically significant improvement in the students’ ability to set goals, and identify and organize activities to best accomplish those goals. A literature review is included to show why PBL is well suited to teach non-technical competencies as well as technical competencies.
