To create an active learning environment istargeted and an educational model is developed for this purpose1. Building components’ designis the main application field of this model, since competency on this subject is necessary forarchitectural engineering students which is based on architectural materials and methods ofbuilding construction. The educational model has been already formalized2 and improved3 inMissouri S&T Architectural Engineering Program. The components of the educational modelcan be summarized in

In fact, the semantic inconsistencies in the report were glaring. Forexample, KSA 14: Teamwork skills and ability to function on multidisciplinary teams(ability) was called an ability. Yet the term skills was used inclusively inside thedescription. This crossover carried on to other KSAs, such as KSA 18: Ability to usenew technology and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice (skill),and KSA 31: Ability to deal with ambiguity and complexity (skill).The point of this criticism is not to demand absolute consistency.
