The construction drawings contain appropriate room sizes, corridorand stair widths, door sizes, wall types, structural elements, annotation among otherrequirements.

undergraduatecourses that build upon pre-requisite content, course-based practice minimizes repetitivetreatment of previous material. Mayo (2004) advocates a balance of fundamental coursetheory with active, case-based instruction so that students not only reflect upon pastexperience to construct new learning, they also share knowledge in a social construct. Thisapproach was a benefit to students in this case study as they learned collaboratively, buildingthe depth of their design aptitude.Readers are encouraged to extrapolate the process and steps of this case study for theirdiscipline specific content areas. While the experiences and projects of this case study maybespecific for design students, the application of exposing students to projects from inception

asdesign consultants, the instructors describe how this unique course helped foster strongercommunication skills, enhanced small group skills, and introduced students to the total designprocess from site analysis through architectural and structural design.PremiseAs college instructors a primary goal is to prepare students for the future. We do this by, • Teaching critical thinking skills so individuals can become problem solvers • Teaching speaking and writing strategies so individuals can become better communicators • Assigning group projects so individuals learn about group dynamics • Exposing students to problems that reflect real life situations so students can learn from past mistakes and become confident enough

The aim was not just to document but also to reflect on the degree towhich these elements are visible or hidden, carefully integrated or artlessly stuck on, andlocated by an architectural vision or an engineering necessity, or even both. Studentsrarely show such structure and mechanical elements in studio designs, and yet they mustbe present in any real building. It is our hope that as the students leave our lecture courseson structures and building technology they will begin to take

Specialattention was paid to the quality of light, appropriate use of construction materials, and thecraftsmanship of the model and drawings. Additionally, reflectivity, translucency andtransparency were to be considered. Students were permitted to use the following modelingmaterials: foam core, museum board, chip board, bass wood, balsa wood, and vellum. If anyadditional materials were desired to be used, prior instructor approval was required, andmaterials were approved on a case by case basis based on material appropriateness and materialworkability.

sections of this course, with approximately 90 students, in FallQuarter 2013. It will be taught again in Winter Quarter 2014. Several lessons were learned in theFall Quarter that will be incorporated into the Winter Quarter classes. The primary conclusionwas that we tried to include too much content and that more time needed to be spent on buildingconfiguration issues. This will be addressed in several ways. The calculational content of thecourse will be reduced, somewhat. The intent is to make it more focused and to apply moredirectly to the configuration issues. The Winter Quarter classes will also be reorganizedsomewhat. The Fall Quarter courses were organized into small building and large buildingmodules, reflecting the two original courses

Figure 7 shows students’ perceptions of how important technical concerns are to their studiofaculty. These results are among the most emphatic in the whole survey. Approximately 15 % ofstudents agree with the statement that “Very few instructors think it is important” and 70% agreethat “Some instructors think it is important, others do not.” These perceptions (regardless ofwhether they are an accurate reflection of their studio instructors’ actual values) elicit concern. Ifa significant majority of students do not get the message from their design faculty that

In some cases they may not have any sense at all of the essence of the problem. Oneoption is for a student to look at several initial starting strategies and use them as part of a multi-pronged dialectical strategy in formulating problem interpretation.

Self-regulative knowledge has receivedattention from both educational and working-life researchers. Theorists of adult education havetypically discussed it in terms of reflective thinking and theorists of student learning in terms ofmetacognitive skills. [5] Page 22.370.2According to
