Students occasionally submitted incorrect orincomplete files and requested an opportunity to resubmit their homework again before thedeadline.

This program was created in order tobetter show educational benefits, quality of learning, and retention and graduation rates. Sincethere are no standardized tests for the Essential Learning Outcomes (ELOs), there was a need todevelop a way to document and assess student learning in undergraduate education.The VALUE project was driven by an advisory board made up of 12 people, national andinternational leaders. The main goal was to generate a way to evaluate student learning that wasbased on the work students produced through the curriculum across a set of Essential

One of the most effectiveways of increasing awareness of the circular economy principle in construction education is byeducating the future construction workforce about circular economy concepts such as life cycleanalysis, design for disassembly, and deconstruction strategies. However, such novel conceptsare seldom integrated into the construction management curriculum which limits students’ abilityto understand the importance of designing and constructing buildings for easy disassembly aswell as potential reuse or recycling possibilities at the end-of-life cycle.
