Some of the initiatives described in this paper extenddirectly from previous research efforts stemming from funded research programs both here andat other university venues. A proof of concept for integration of Habitat for Humanity wasexecuted under an internal curriculum enhancement program funded by the University of NorthCarolina at Charlotte in 2009-2010. The emerging results of that effort were published last yearthrough ASEE and testify to not only the popularity but also the utility of this innovative effort.1This paper reports on the successful efforts to continue this practice
