: Create Spaces to Highlight Local TalentAbstractThe paper will focus on a two-semester service-learning project in which ArchitecturalTechnology Students are partnering with a local entity called Reclaiming Community. Reclaimis a subsidiary of a larger local organization with a mission to bring about sustainableregeneration, improvement, and management of the physical environment through their Art Shedinitiative. Each semester will develop a separate set of shed designs, with separate assessmentmethods and outcomes. The over-arching goal of the project is revitalizing the neighborhoodsthat will house these sheds, and encourage the love of art and design in area. Sheds are designedwith the intent that after a

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

educational experience • Help students visualize engineering principles • Give students an opportunity to apply flexure and shear equations from ACI-318 to a physical modelThe beam fabrication project consisted of three parts: 1) Beam Fabrication, wherein students designed and fabricated reinforcement configurations, mixed concrete in a lab setting, and cast concrete into forms 2) Beam Testing, wherein students utilized a beam press to apply load to their beams until failure was reached 3) Beam Report, wherein students produced a report of their experience. The report included an application of capacity equations for shear and flexure, conclusions pertaining to failure mechanisms, as well as photos of the

intermediate structural design courses for both steel and concrete, the format of eachfocuses on a semester long project in which a multi-story building structure is designed using athree-dimensional modelling program, and is documented using BIM. The first of these coursesin the curriculum flow is Intermediate Steel Design during the third year of the program. For thiscourse the building parameters (dimensions, number of stories, bay sizes, …) are set by theProfessor and each student is expected to utilize their knowledge from the first steel designcourse along with added teachings during the semester to design and document the structure forFigure 1: Students learn to utilize the RISA-3D Program during the semester project [3]the building [4].
