While students were busy putting geotechnical engineeringtheory into practice, their efforts were supported by a course designed as a problem-based,flipped-classroom, with just-in-time-teaching, thereby combining and putting modernpedagogical theory into practice. This paper presents the evidence-based practice study ofinterleaving and putting the pedagogical theories of problem-based learning, flipped classrooms,and just-in-time-teaching into practice. It captures the intricacies of the course design, documentsthe student and professor experience, and provides analysis and recommendations forengineering educators aimed at supporting the jump from theory to practice for these educationalmethods

They take copious notes and seek specific answers. Technical learners like to work alone on hands-on projects. They enjoy figuring out how something works and insist on practical objectives for assignments. Confluent learners have a strong desire for creativity and innovation. They are not afraid of risks or failure and prefer unique, unconventional approaches. Depending on the interaction of an individual’s patterns, strong preferencesassociated with one pattern may coincide with strong avoidances of another pattern. Forexample, the

should promote learning by indicating levels of proficiency orperformance levels as opposed to just scores for grades.Self-assessment and self-grading activities, when applied correctly, can support the student aspart of his or her learning process. For this reason, these activities should be viewed not asisolated practices but as part of the overall learning process [28]. Despite decades of research onthese promising techniques, self-assessment remains somewhat of a “niche market for theenthusiastic” and self-grading activities, particularly on exams, “remain unlikely due to social,political, and logistical reasons” [16].

Though faculty have the option to choose the CAx tools that best suit the learning outcomes of their courses, practicality often dictates that it is easier to work with the system that students are already familiar with from earlier CAD instruction.

However, in construction, site andcode constraints make this practice less common, although it can be argued that constructionrenovation projects must fully research and document the existing design before proposingchanges to it. Nonetheless, terminology can become an obstacle in a multidisciplinary setting.Another difference between sectors is in how design methods are applied. At a high level,construction projects tend to be very similar, i.e. in the design of a building, foundations, floors,walls and roofs are all present.
