However, student viewpoints are generally favorable and supportthe continued approach. Further data analysis will occur to determine how to further improve thecourse and the outcomes therein.[1] S.

Studio courses in the curriculumtraditionally carried the charge of providing familiarity and developing appreciation for architecturaldesign. Since 1952, studio courses have evolved in the program based on continuous improvementprocesses, reflections from faculty and alumni, and the changing dynamics in industry. Historicaldevelopment has included: • 1970’s and earlier – AE offered individual design projects and role-playing an architect • 1980 – AE introduced studio design teams more out of necessity do to a drastic increase in class enrollment. Studios were staffed by architecture faculty and operated in a similar fashion to studio classes for
in theSPF with the staff machinist teaching ~10 students to operate all of the equipment.Distancing requirements necessary for Covid made that final two-hour session impossible toconduct in the same fashion. In the fall 2020 semester “S” training sessions were reduced to onehour, but involved only two students at a time. This nearly tripled the number of hours that thestaff machinist spent in training, but resulted in comparable student training quality. For the 45students in Freshman Design I this meant nearly 30 hours of total training time. Fortunately,overall project activities during this time at WKU were lower so this was possible. In the spring2021 semester a total of 65 Mechanical and Electrical freshmen required “S” training

community involvement, assuming NGO staff has theflexible schedule to do so. ETH teams can also influence how NGOs enact their ability toscale up and empower communities by conceiving designs that communities will be able tomaintain, operate, and build in different contexts and at different times.Once an NGO partner has been chosen, it is important to spend appropriate time developingthat partnership through curricula where students and NGOs find a common design languageand a balance between NGO goals and course objectives. Using available design frameworkssuch as those outlined above, design pedagogy must be carefully crafted in partnership withNGOs to strengthen student learning, NGO effectiveness, and community empowerment.8.

The homes in Figures 3(m), (n), and especially (q) and (r) werebuilt into the ground to make an Earthen home. This also increases the efficiency of the home byadding insulation to the home’s walls and reducing the rate of heat transfer through the walls.The home in Figure 3(m) and (n) also featured a large rainwater collection system. The homes inFigures 3(a), (b), (g), (h), (i), (j), (k), (l), (m), (n), (s), and (t) all incorporated a PV system.Considering that solar photovoltaics is a major portion of the course, and students gainsignificant lab experience working with PV system components, it is not surprising that moststudents incorporate
