majority of boundary-spanning liaison positions between schools and universitiesare short-term or project-based (e.g., Castelli, Centeio, Boehrnsen, Barclay, & Bundy, 2012;Hoppey, 2016). In contrast, the role we discuss is a long-term position that spans multipleprojects and was constructed explicitly for boundary spanning between the organizations.MethodsTo determine whether the educational liaisons who facilitate partnerships between a researchuniversity and formal education sites fit the criteria of a boundary spanner, we designed aqualitative study in which we analyzed documents such as activity reports using ​a priori c​ odesadapted from Jesiek, et al.’s synthesized model. The data originates from our own reflectivepractice, so we

Some students’ reported that they engaged with studentsfrom a major other than their own in classes where the faculty member said all class enrollmentwas from a single major. We believe students’ broader interpretation of Table 1’s“interdisciplinarity” comes from their actions outside of class - for example, consulting withfriends in other majors about the project, or being assigned to “talk to X potential customers”.Faculty may therefore realize some of the benefits of an interdisciplinary course even when theircourse is restricted to a single major by encouraging or assigning students to interact morebroadly on an assignment.Class atmosphere and student learning both

completing the semester(s), an instructor should document and communicate with the GBCI to finalize certification. To efficiently and effectively work with the USGBC and GBCI, an instructor is highly recommended to hire a student assistant who is familiar with the entire process of the course and can assist, with supervision, in submitting final project documentation. Having this assistance will ensure the successful completion of the LEED Lab project.Based on the lessons learned from this Sustainable Construction course, other institutions mayconsider adding an adaptation of the LEED Lab module to their sustainability-related or projectmanagement courses and may create a concrete plan to achieve their course objectives

In addition, each group must choose an appropriate compound(s) that would be involved in mass transfer and used for testing the mass transfer unit. The selected compounds must have low toxicity and must be readily available.

-oriented methodology in constructing engineering and businessapplications has grown exponentially since the early 90’s. In the object-orientedmethodology, the software design focuses on objects instead of functions and functionaldecompositions. An object is introduced as a discrete entity, containing its data andfunctions. The main aspects of the object-oriented methodology includes encapsulation,inheritance and polymorphism [3]. Encapsulation refers to wrapping object attributes andbehaviors in an enclosed entity, inheritance deals with object reuse, and polymorphismconcerns with object having access to a behavior where the knowledge to the access isknown at runtime.Objects encapsulate the related attributes (data or member data) and behaviors
