In doing so, it will focus upon the tools that are of value to the teacherand overall service learning program more than the students and it will also seekout the types of questions and answers that serve the clients’ needs.Literature Review: Service Learning as PedagogyService Learning charts a relatively new avenue in pedagogical research. It hasonly seen a surge in research activity since the 1990’s 3, so it suffers from ashortage of literature steeped in the discipline. Even leaner is the amount ofmaterial that addresses client satisfaction or community partner assessmentstrategies related to service learning projects.It is best to begin with

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was founded with the expresspurpose of protecting human health and to safeguard the natural environment8. However, as theEPA was soon to realize, the environmental damage of nearly two centuries would be hard tomanage.The American environmentalism movement has been plagued by ebbs and flows, withmomentum for change predominately in the 60-70’s and 90-00’s9,10. Like all social reform, theseefforts have been subject to popular support and political action. Modern environmentalism hasbegun to embrace the concepts of green and sustainable development. However, in order to besuccessful engineers, architects, and building contractors must modify

In reviewing the work done between the two semesters several ofthe topics covered where very similar. However, the instructors feel that the quality and depth ofwork produced was better for the second, fall 2007 semester. The authors feel that two changesled principally to this improvement.The first issue was group size

Originally constructed in 1918 as the Gymnasiumand Armory for the university, this two story building was renovated in the mid-1970’s toaccommodate the School of Architecture. During the renovation a third floor runningFigure 3: An early rendering of the original Armory by it's architect, Professor Redlichtrack was in-filled to convert the two-story building into a full three stories to be used asstudio space for the architecture students. While this new facility was far better thananything the school had been home to previously, the facilities were still greatly lackingin size and scope. Since moving into the facility in 1977, each NAAB and ABETaccreditation visit has resulted in notification to the school of

problem as described above, students were expected to implement theintegrated design method, in which quantitative evaluation of initial solutions should inform anddirect subsequent design development(s). Quantitative evaluation of the environmentalperformance of the design schemes was based on the results of rigorous (and simplified)engineering methods. Calculations of both the passive heating and passive cooling systems wererequired. Figure 2 shows the calculation procedure to design the passive solar heating systems.Figure 3 shows the calculation procedure to design the natural ventilation systems.4.3 Design Development LoopIn this phase, each group developed its own conceptual design in the light of a simultaneousevaluation of its
