professionals and leadersin the AEC industry are in high demand regionally, nationally and internationally. From a globalperspective, AE programs are unique and sparse compared to civil engineering and architectureprograms. In total there are 22 ABET accredited AE programs in the United States that offerdegrees. These programs must be adaptable to the industry to remain current with, and ahead of,leading industry practices. To remain most relevant to industry, AE programs regularly evolvetheir senior capstone project experience. Since the building industry is so diverse, and the AEprograms themselves are often diverse from one another, the composition of capstone coursesacross programs has not been heavily studied in looking for critical trends. Thus

eleven primary objectives where each objective was a mini-project. The objectives built toward a comprehensive design that was a code compliant, graphicaland numerical structural solution to a predetermined architectural design. The desired level oflearning was demonstrating the ability to apply the technical theory to a large complex problem.The instruments were in the form of homework problems and examinations for the introductoryclasses, and mini-projects assembling into a comprehensive solution for the capstone course.Each homework and examination question connected to a single learning objective. Thequestions were in the same format as the National Council of Architectural Registration Board(NCARB) license examination. I have been building

success of thecourse.1.0 Introduction Designers, builders and owners have been increasingly recognizing the value of having moreintegrated approach in the design process to facilitate development of an overall better buildingperformance (Holland et al. 2010). To be equipped to contribute to and lead integrated design teams, it iscritical that students gain experience during their education in integrated design projects that leveragecollaboration (Messner et al. 2011). In academic settings, strategic locations for integrated design educationare commonly located in capstones and design studios. For engineering students, capstone courses looklargely at technical integration and engineering system development, whereas for architecture

inter-disciplinary teamwork, instead ofjust ‘working’ in groups together. Students demonstrated their potential to advance the scienceand technology frontier through effective inter-disciplinary collaboration (Exhibit 1).Colleagues from College of Architecture and engineering technology program in the College ofTechnology developed learning objectives and a pedagogical approach before co-teaching thecourse in Fall 2017. As project-intensive inquiry-based learning course it provided a platform forstudents to innovate within a real world project by applying design strategy and technicalsolutions developed in their capstone projects and studios.Exhibit 1Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Students Presenting to Campus Sustainability Committee1.3

The course is assessed each yearthrough course assessment plans, course assessment reports, student course critiques andprogram graduation surveys. Quantitative and qualitative assessment data are presented. Itsupports multiple ABET student outcomes and criteria. Students rate it among their favoriteundergraduate courses.

. Once a community project and partner have beenprudently chosen, Sutton suggests the following transformative strategies to utilize in servicelearning pedagogy: “cumulative exposures, comprehensive experiences, capstone experiences,immersion experiences, interdisciplinary experiences, community participation, youthparticipation, reflective practice, long term participation, and institutional participation” (Sutton2012). While this is a lengthy list of strategies, not all of these concepts can be applied to asingle course, as several are realized over the duration of one’s academic career. The strategiesmost applicable to this paper are immersion experiences and reflective practice, due to theduration of this particular community engaged

education.Bhattacharjee and Ghosh discussed the usefulness of role-playing in construction education andemphasized how students employed critical thinking skills as they played the role of differentstakeholders [6] [7]. In project-based learning, students work on real projects. Most constructionprograms require students to complete capstone projects as the culminating experience to earntheir degrees. Students can learn higher-level cognitive skills through project-based and problem-based learning [8].In recent years, there has been increasing use of technology to foster and support learning.Messner et al. discussed the use of immersive virtual reality in construction education, and theyfound that students have a better understanding of construction projects in

-based inductive learningexperience. According to Prince and Felder, Inductive learning is conclusively better thantraditional deductive pedagogy [6]. Project-based inductive learning is typical to mostengineering capstone course projects [6], where course knowledge and theories are meant to bediscovered by the students through a realistic design problem, rather than delivered to them at theonset of the assignment. In our particular case, we are attempting a self-driven inductive learningexercise before the students have received any formal post-secondary level instruction. It istherefore important that a sufficient support structure is maintained at all times.In the case of the AE design days activity, this support was given in the form of

Modularized LecturesAbstract Traditional lecturing of building code related topics are commonly taught ad-hoc in courses,often get misinterpreted by faculty unfamiliar with code details, or left out entirely from courses. Toimprove dissemination of code knowledge in our department but also be applicable to two otherassociated departments, a project was undertaken to enhance mechanisms for faculty to better deliverbuilding code knowledge in academic settings. Here, self-contained teaching modules were developedthat can be incorporated within existing courses. Our code education enhancements take what has beentraditionally perceived as passively learned content with little appeal that minimizes studentengagement and immersion, to more active

The study seeks to determine how face-to-face or in-person teaching to non-traditional or online methods has affected the student, particularly in the construction program.Additionally, as construction courses typically include labs and capstone projects, it is essential todetermine how these courses were delivered as the programs transitioned to the online mediums.The research study compares content delivery before and during COVID-19. The survey questionsare used to determine the challenges students face in accessing the course management system,familiarizing themselves, and being satisfied with
