In academic settings, simulations have been used in many formsover the years (Troka & Nedelman, 1975). In the sciences, experiential learning simulations takethe form of experiments that allow students to test hypotheses as they engage in the scientificprocess of inquiry (Bell & Smetana, 2008). Political science professors use simulations to engagestudents in ethical dilemmas (Wheeler, 2006). Although they often take the form of a face to faceor computer generated experiences, a simulation presents students with a situation that representsa circumstance faced in real life (Ellington, Gordan & Fowlie, 1998).

Orr (1992) widened the scope of sustainability in his seminal book “EcologicalLiteracy” from technological to ecological sustainability. Technological sustainability mainlydeals with technological and ethical issues; ecological sustainability is considered an effort thataffects all aspects of a culture. In order to adequately prepare us for the future, Orr envisions adramatic shift in the existing pedagogies of all educational programs—a shift toward an earth-centered education.

Few owners appear to place importance of appropriately funding thepreconstruction phase and thus by estimating the design services fee using a percentage ofconstruction costs or by square footage, they inadvertently cap the design effort [4]. To estimatethe number of hours that design professionals can spend on a given project, architects andengineers divide the total preconstruction budget by their hourly rate. If the amount of hours isnot enough to complete the design, design professionals must figure out how to complete thedesign while fulfilling their contractual and ethical obligation to the owner. Without sufficienthours to complete a design due to a tight hourly budget, design
