I hope this way of teaching can be applied to other courses at the university.”“More such student oriented teaching processes are required”“I have benefited a lot from the course. The course has covered the knowledge gained from theCEM program and added a unique way for teaching and learning about a unique project (greenbuilding)”ConclusionsThe student team put in a lot of effort to contact the limited available local experts in sustainable,green construction.

For interdisciplinaryteamwork, in this case, sub-outcomes could be utilized. One IGERT proposal, for instance,subdivided the teamwork and professionalism learning outcome into “(a) an understanding ofgroup dynamics associated with leadership, membership, and peer to peer interactions, (b) theability to listen, give, and receive feedback, (c) ability to set appropriate goals, milestones, anddivision of labor”3.
