This wasthe first time the students encountered an authentic problem, which is a key component of PBL[4]. In this problem-solving process, faculty from the Department of Urban Horticulture &Design played a role as the consultants who provided input on a crop plan and planting schedule.This session helped the students to determine the location of vegetation, form, and orientation ofthe structure based on the solar exposure, sun path, circulation, and accessibility of the user.

. This percentage for engineering courses was mere 0.86%. This is unfortunate since theinfrastructure required for online education has been primary developed by engineers.The perceived obstacles in widespread integration of online courses in engineering curriculumscan be divided into two categories: physical obstacles and cultural obstacles. A major physicalbarrier is how to provide hands-on trainings, which traditionally take place in laboratories andmachine shops, in an online setting. However, this may not be a major problem since, contrary towhat one may expect, the data shows that online education is primary “local”. A little over half ofall students who took at least one online course took some face-to-face courses at the sameinstitution
