a clear understanding of this research focus. Servicelearning is defined by Bringle and Hatcher 4 (p.4) as “course-based, credit-bearingeducational experience in which students (a) participate in an organized serviceactivity that meets identified community needs and (b) reflect on the serviceactivity in such a way as to gain a further understanding of course content, abroader appreciation of the discipline, and an enhanced sense of civicresponsibility”. The first component of this definition is straightforward andeasily fits into the typical architectural educational experience noted above. Thereare few architectural education programs that do not explore the designopportunities that real communities can offer.The second component of the

sixteen week semester as our project schedule, each student was charged withcompleting the following task in order: 1. Each student was assigned a research topic related to the design type, where they were to become our content experts. Topics were: a. Aging in Place b. Assisted Living c. Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS) d. GREEN Design e. Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED) f. Residential Building Codes and ADA g. National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) 2. Each student was required to select a home site from figure 2.1 3. Each student was asked to submit three floor plan options for their home design, with the only restrictions being that

, who experienced its vital role to guide the designprocess towards energy efficiency. With the use of user-friendly simplified engineering tools,students were able to evaluate the performance of their designs and were able to produce avariety of design solutions that met the success criteria for the Chameleon House. Students wereinnovative and produced non-traditional schemes that are both aesthetically pleasing and highlyenergy efficient. Four design schemes are presented below. A B Figure 7: The Rotating Solar Cap Figure 8: A Room-by-Room AssemblyScheme 1: The Rotating Solar Cap [Fig. 7]This concept design is simple and versatile at the same time.

Foreach assignment the instructor would post a Revit “start-file” for the model so that all studentsstarted each week from the same point. This simplified the grading, as students were not using Page 13.589.6their own previous model, which may have contained unique flaws, which could then propagatethrough subsequent assignments. This allowed the instructors to independently gage eachassignment and eliminated cumulative errors by students.The order of

It examines andassesses student responses to the survey and projects the results into a setting formore rigorous, future research within this topical subject area.IntroductionIt is quite common in the context of today’s architectural education to witnessstudents studying computer models of their design projects to analyze items suchas proportion, solar gain, daylighting and structural failures. The use of thesemodels and modeling tools is prevalent, as the computer performs these tasks welland accurately and does so in a rapid manner that a student laden with
