Using GIS and participatory community mapping, she explores the impact of civil and environmental choices on the design of the sustainable city. Trained in architecture and urban design, her research spans education and practice, working on the integration of community research into project based learning. Her work overlaps areas of GIS mapping, global sustainable urbanism, design and cre- ativity. She undertook a Fulbright in Valpara´ıso, Chile, to investigate, and map, devices of landscape as inspirations for the orders of community space

All institutions reported studentperformance directly, but two also indicated student surveys (i.e., self-assessments) as sources ofdata for this outcome (they were transitioning out of that assessment method). Studentperformance was measured by course instructors, project partners, and, in one case, theinstitution’s industrial advisory board.As an example of an ambiguous rubric used for ABET assessment

One issue with this model is itrequires all the students and several libraries to be together at the same space and time.Other gamifying projects have been done in a more asynchronous video game format, such asvideo games created at Rowan University for their freshman engineering clinics (Gulotta).

Thisevaluation method being time-consuming, it was changed to open-book exams. After a fewyears, the librarians decided to modify the assessment again to allow students to work on theirown projects.
