Further,concept mapping is widely accepted as encouraging improved learning experiences incomparison to, or in conjunction with, traditional teaching methods [2]. However, concept maps are less well understood as an approach to understandknowledge acquisition and competency for representing complex and dynamic interactionsbetween socio-cultural and technological systems. . a static body of knowledge from a textbook.Learning assessments are confounded by such ambiguity

During the first semester, students had 24/7 access to a student-run design studio space, andthe opportunity to work closely with project mentors in small settings, and collaborate with motivated peers. Inaddition, mentors tried to make students apply knowledge that they were acquiring in the second-year classes(structures, environmental, and transport). Hence, there was an intentional overlap of learning outcomes.Students, through the research projects, were acquiring the learning desired for the courses. The program was developed to complement academic’s teaching and research effort and students’curricular and extracurricular time. The program allows students and academic to spend more time
