Architecture and Urban Design from Columbia University. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Summer scholarship project: Designing and building a multi- purpose micro-farm structure as a pedagogical strategy for Architectural Engineering Technology studentsAbstractConstructing a full-scale mock-up is commonly used in the architectural industry, and it isinvaluable to the design outcome. It provides feedback on the appearance, scale, material, andconstructability. This process can also be adopted as a teaching strategy in a classroom,especially when considering that a hands-on learning experience increases student engagementand information retention.
