facilitate energy-efficiency in the commercial building industry. Another research interest of Kristen’s is engineering education, where she explores how project- and experience-based learning foster better understanding of engineering and management principles. Prior to joining ASU, Kristen was at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) as a Postdoctoral Fellow (2009-11) and then a Scientific Engineering Associate (2011-2012) in the Building Technologies and Urban Systems Department. She worked in the Commercial Buildings group, developing energy effi- ciency programs and researching technical and non-technical barriers to energy efficiency in the buildings industry. She has a background in collaborative design

working to develop a better built environment. The architecturestudents were responsible for the exterior structure and footprint of the building. Several of thearchitectural details were also designed and constructed by these students.College of Design, Construction and Planning - AcousticsThe Architectural Acoustics Research Program is housed as a specialty within the School ofArchitecture. The program employs modeling, measurement, prediction and evaluation toolsthat were developed by the school’s research laboratory to “extend traditional architecturalexpertise into the multi-sensory realm where the design of the total experiential environment ofbuildings can occur” ix. The competition required acoustic studies once the house wasconstructed

a combination of lecture and laboratory sessions.The practical realities of planning and scheduling construction projects are reinforced during theweekly class supported by a variety of guest lecturers including construction project managers,engineers and/or CEOs of local industry companies. The lectures provide examples of how Page 23.1089.2scheduling techniques has been put into practice across the project lifecycle, starting fromdesign, preconstruction, construction and fabrication, coordination and commissioning. Duringthe lab session, students use structured tutorials, supplemented with videos, to implementscheduling skills like in real
