To play the game, four students, each with a different role, form a design teamand are tasked with developing a structure that meets the different sets of constraints posed byeach role. The four roles are the structural engineer, thermal engineer, project manager, andarchitect. Each team must design a residence in an imaginary world which they build with redand blue triangles on a diamond grid. The red and blue tiles mean different things to each player.For example, the thermal engineer sees the red triangles as heat-producing elements, while theproject manager sees them as a representation of cost.

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.

Kennedy [1] investigated the impact ofclassroom debates on students. They were asked to rate their knowledge on the selectedtopics and to identify their stance before and after multiple debates in the class. It wasobserved that between 31% to 58% of the students changed their opinion on the selectedtopics after watching the debates.

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

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.
