Utilizingthis technology not only has the potential to improve the process of design, but it canalso improve the process of collaboration. Substantial integration of energy anddaylight modeling, early in the design process, has the potential to redefine thedisciplinary relationships for both academic and professional praxis. By usingperformance modeling as a vehicle, multi-disciplinary teams of university students canmore effectively learn the process of integrated design and project delivery 1.Incorporating performance modeling throughout the design process requiresinvolvement from multiple professions across a project‟s lifecycle.

Informal and Formal Learning:There are a number of designs that can be used in the evaluation of one’s program or project(Friedman, 2008). Regardless of the evaluation design, a ‘logic model’ is a very useful tool toclarify the goals of the evaluation and the project as a whole. Below, we define the logic modelin terms of its generic components and include our specific components in parentheses: (1)Intended audience (transdisciplinary student groups) (2) Inputs - funding/in-kind contributionsthat are brought to a project (we have had funding from a local medical devices company and ouruniversity that supported this effort); (3) Activities - action undertaken to bring about desiredends (in our case, smart phone apps for healthcare); (4) Outputs

hard to implement a hands-on, active environment thatmay benefit students. To this end, experiential learning can be an important part of engineeringeducation and is often achieved through laboratory exercises (labs) and in-class demonstrations.Providing hands-on, physical activities augments and enhances the students’ understanding andvisualization of a topic [1]-[4]. This is especially true in engineering courses that involve designand construction, such as reinforced concrete design. Experiential learning in a laboratory can be simple or extremely complex depending onthe topic and time permitted. In a laboratory setting, students can be involved in the constructionand testing of small or large specimens. Immersion in the construction

Have students collaborate with a GIS instructor to work on an academic project that integrates the concepts of relational and spatial DBMS. ConclusionAlthough the paper focuses upon a DBMS course for GIS majors, the recommendationscan be generalized to any technical course. For example, the instructor must begin withan understanding of the discipline at the academic and industrial level.

When things are hard and the first sign of an unacceptable grade or class performance is seen, the first reaction of many students is to panic and quit.
