Inthis paper, we propose and illustrate the DACE process as a training framework for noviceresearchers who are brand new to research. The DACE process provides a general set of researchtools, consisting of four steps: (1) Calibration of the computer model(s) for the application ofinterest, (2) Design of experiments to organize a set of computer model input parameter settings,(3) Execution of the computer model(s) to generate performance metric outputs, (4) Analysis ofthe input and output data. For sustainable building design, the performance metric outputsrepresent dimensions related to the pillars of sustainability: people

students at the epicenter of their learning journey[1][2]. PBL's roots can be traced back to the mid-20th century with the ideas of educationalphilosopher John Dewey. Dewey advocated for learning through experience and hands-onactivities, emphasizing the importance of connecting classroom knowledge to real-worldapplications [3]. In the 21st century, PBL has become increasingly integrated into educationalreform efforts globally. The emphasis on 21st-century skills such as critical thinking,communication, collaboration, and creativity has fueled the adoption of PBL as an effectivemethodology to develop these competencies [4]. The widespread availability and use oftechnology in education has further facilitated the implementation of [5]. Digital

A revised instructional model is presented, along with future evaluation plans.IntroductionAs engineering students move into the workplace, their success depends on their technical skillsand ability to communicate. Studies have shown that based on their position within anorganization, engineers may spend up to fifty percent of their time writing [1]. While writing hasbeen presumed to be part of an engineer’s job, it has not always been considered a centralcomponent of the engineering profession [2], [3].

Test AnxietyAbstract Test anxiety is a prevalent psychological issue among higher-education students,particularly those seeking degrees in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, andMathematics) [1]. Test anxiety is an adverse emotional reaction when faced with a testingcircumstance or comparable evaluative atmosphere. Numerous studies on the impact of testanxiety on STEM students' academic performance have been undertaken. Understanding thecomplex link between test anxiety and academic achievement is critical for developing evidence-based solutions to help students succeed in STEM fields. Despite substantial research on collegestudents' test anxiety, there are major gaps in the literature, particularly in the context ofengineering

wanted to ensure that students develop skills in not only project management but alsoworking in teams. The literature shows that Project Management Education needs to include apractical, hands-on project where students can use the theory they are learning to plan, manage,and execute a project with real stakeholders. Van der Horn and Killen found in their research inproject management education that courses in project management require more than justknowing the theory but rather having “lived experiences” and challenges for effective learning[1]. In addition, input from the university’s and department’s advisory boards demand thatstudents have project management skills that they can employ straight out of school.As part of redefining the course
