By involving senior leaders in the project initiatives,these committees fostered accountability and empowered leaders to act as allies. This approachexemplifies the importance of engaging organizational leaders as partners in change rather thantreating them as obstacles [10]. The project saw many faculty

Throughout the semester, all students integrate architectural design withmechanical and structural systems design
