integration of advancedsustainability concepts. Our multi-phase implementation approach, scheduled to commence in Fall2025, is supported by compelling evidence from multiple educational studies. Constantinou et al.'s2022 longitudinal research demonstrated that similar curriculum enhancements increased studenttechnical competency scores by 35% on average across 427 students, while Martinez et al.'s 2023study showed a 42% improvement in building performance assessment capabilities.The curriculum optimization framework incorporates specialized modules on post-pandemicdesign elements, real-time building performance analysis, and hybrid instructional methodologies.Analysis of comparable programs indicates these enhancements can be implemented with

objective of the study. It is also planned to use a combination of analytical anddescriptive surveys after each evaluation to assess how the applied teaching methods influenceacademic integrity, and course-specific surveys will help determine which activities are mosteffective. By incorporating a control group using traditional teaching methods, it will be possibleto compare these factors and assess whether the new approaches benefit students.References[1] J. Acosta and M.
