Most of the theoretical content wasdelivered through traditional lecture-based approach in order to provide students withsufficient basic technical knowledge. The PBL activities including the Field Hunting ofConcrete Distresses project and Concrete Distresses and Repair Case Studies term projectwere used to reinforce content knowledge and develop critical thinking and problem-solvingskills.In order to better organize the multitude of topics covered in this course, the class materialwas thematically arranged into three major segments, which included a) typical concreteproblem and deterioration mechanisms; b) diagnosis and evaluation of concrete problems;and c) concrete protection and

Diverse Student BodyAbstractAdvanced Construction Management is a graduate level course offered at the University ofTexas at San Antonio, Master of Science Program in Architecture. The course objectives arecomposed of the understanding of emerging project delivery approaches, sustainability andtechnology driven project environment and the near future of construction project environment atthe strategic level. Students in the program have diverse educational backgrounds, thereforeadvanced topics are taught without excluding their fundamentals. The paper presents a termproject example showing how this is accomplished. Each student is given a different topic. Thegiven topic includes the analysis of conventional project delivery methods to see if

In order to meet the ASHRAE residential ventilation standards, the manufacturermodified the systems so that their highest speed air flow rate was approximately 10% higher thanthe European factory settings. The continuous movement of cross ventilation air assisted thedistribution of conditioned air within the building envelope, while helping to control bathroomand kitchen related humidity.
