family residence. Students are to adhere to instructions for bothprojects. This is especially important for the second project minimum where building standardsor codes are to be adhered to where applicable and emphasized by the instructor. In addition tothe lake cabin drawing, Quizzes and other assignments were also assigned but not considered forthis research. At the beginning of the Fall 2017 semester, students were to completequestionnaires related to their career choices in the construction industry and course relatedmajors/minors. Towards the end of the semester, a similar questionnaire was issued whichevaluated students’ experience in the course. The second questionnaire was designed todetermine whether or not students’ career choices

authors are currently working in LEED Lab with two building projects: onefollowing the traditional path and one following the performance-based Arc Platform. Both haveadvantages and disadvantages. It is a balance between which is more beneficial for the students’education and which is more beneficial for the ultimate goal of certifying a building in LEEDO+M: Existing Buildings. The advantage of the traditional path is that it is the same procedure (and point structure)the students will be using in their future careers when working on the LEED certificationprocess. The skills and knowledge learned in this path are directly transferable, a fact that will bebeneficial to their future employers. By allowing students access to LEED Online they

, relatable topics that showcase the importance of thebuilding code related to their careers. This paper examines the critical needs and new mechanisms toconvey code information in a meaningful way rather than the idealized representations. Results frompre- and post- surveys, interviews and assignments support the positive feedback and success of themodules. At this stage of module distribution, correlations between student perceptions and actualperformance have not been studied yet. The basis of how the modules were structured, including theirassessment on their effectiveness are detailed in this paper.Introduction The idea of a regulating building code that governs the design and construction of buildings isparamount to our industry. For the

. 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

revealing the relevance of technical details theyneed to master and their impact on society.2.1 Course Learning ObjectivesThe course focuses on the form of sustainable high-performance urban districts. Students studiedhow eco-districts are shaped by their response to climate, strategies they use to reducegreenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, to achieve high energy efficiency and production, better stormwater management, and waste management. Special attention was paid to establishing ecologicaldesign objectives, baselines, targets, and strategies. Faculty identified a common set ofsustainable and resilient urban design knowledge and skill sets, curriculum requirements fromboth program disciplines, as well as the potential career pathways for both
