established based on a robust evaluation of all direct and indirect cost dataand the impact of factors external to the control of all stakehold-ers. Integrating cost projectionsthroughout the phases of project development are critical for the construction team to achieve acompleted project within the realm of the Owner’s budget.Integrating Cost Projection into Architectural Design Instruction Design requires thought and skill, but the ability of designing within budgetary restraints is astrategic successful outcome for a design professional and should be taught to students accord-ingly. Lee [8] stated “Research finds that what one commonly sees in architecture schools is theseparation of academic minds from the world around them.” In her paper
relationship between knowledge gained and students’ perception of theimpact of sustainable design and construction options. Findings also indicate how perceptionscompare between population groups, such as students of architecture and students ofconstruction. Students seem to be best equipped to explain their understanding of the listedoptions based on their experiences. Such research outcomes can help educators better toimplement SDC into respective curricula in the future. In addition, analysis of these perceptionsis a crucial tool for educators in improving students’ understanding of sustainability goals.Keywords: Sustainable Design and Construction; SDC teaching; curriculum development;Architecture; Construction Management, Sustainability, Student
Level 6 are apprenticeship programs. Level 7 provides“ordinary” three-year bachelor’s degrees. Level 8 “honours” bachelor’s degrees require doingself-directed thesis research. The Level 9 post-graduate degrees and Level 10 doctoral degreesrequire the same standard of research and writing required globally for such degrees. Here, theBSc and MSc degree designations and the PhD in BIM and Digital Construction all requireresearch outputs and the mastery of established standards of knowledge generation, reflectivepractice, and project management.The MSc and BSc (Honours) research projects expect students to implement a proposed solutionto an industry-relevant context(s) or setting regarding their organization, if possible. For the BSc(Honours), both
,students then understand the set expectations of the design process. This model helps students tobetter understand outlined project deliverables as they have done it once before in the low stakesenvironment of design days. This allows students to focus on their learning and implementationof better design practices and considerations.Not only does the re-use of the project in design studio introduce students to the structure ofsolving a design problem, it also offers opportunity for increased iteration in design. The iterativedesign process has been proven to improve the learning experience of students. It helps target theareas required for improvement and allows students to visualize where they can improve in theirdesign [12]. “An iterative design

Respondents againemphasized “soft skills” like communication and teamwork, but also noted relevant experience,leadership or project management experience, and technical knowledge.DiscussionIn response to the survey results obtained from industry professionals, a number of curricularchanges were implemented. First, the fifth-year master's degree was restructured to include anindividual graduate project requirement once again. However, rather than strictly requiring thedevelopment of a novel research effort, students were also permitted to select a topic extendingfrom the interdisciplinary team design project. For example, a

MiguelAndres’s research includes Architectural and Civil Engineering Project Management, Sustainable and Resilient Urban Infrastructure, and the development of engineers who not only have strong technical and practical knowledge but the social awareness and agency to address global humanitarian, environmental, and social justice challenges. For him, social justice is a concept that should always be involved in discussions on infrastructure. Related to STEM education, Miguel Andres develops disruptive pedagogies for STEM courses as a tool for innovation, and assessing engineering
experience with LEEDcertification. LEED Lab provides students with an opportunity to work on real-world projectsand gain practical experience with sustainable design principles, energy efficiency, waterconservation, and other important aspects of green building. The course typically involvesworking on a specific building or project, analyzing its environmental impact, and developing aplan for achieving LEED certification. LEED Lab is often offered as a collaboration betweenuniversities and the USGBC, and it is available to students in a wide range of disciplines,including architecture, engineering, environmental science, and business (LEED Lab | U.S.Green Building Council, 2023). The program is designed to help students develop the knowledgeand

these use cases and their functionality in existingMEP courses to benefit from digital twins and create a new teaching environment in addition totraditional hands-on teaching. More than 50 students participated in the two semesters and engagedin active learning.ConclusionThe results of this demonstration indicated digital twins are an effective tool to assist withdeveloping teaching resources. This course design enabled students to form multi-disciplinaryteams to build the resources. The results of this yearlong effort show the potential of digital twinsto develop best practices in using digital twins for synchronous remote teaching to facilitateundergraduate students’ tangible learning of a variety of topics under a range of real and
