an overview of and assesses the relative utility of three emerging life cycle assessment tools(ATHENA, EC3, and TALLY) for comparing the carbon impact of timber, steel, and concrete as a building’sstructural system. It includes an exploration of incorporating these tools into the classroom to allow students toarrive at a decision for the building structural system based on the total embodied carbon of the design. Toround-out its assessment, the paper includes a literature review of similar research being incorporated intoundergraduate education.A case study that forms the backdrop of this research is the work of a student in our Graduate CertificateProgram (first author of this paper). He utilized a section of an existing project designed in

-disciplinary Approach to Project Based LearningMeta-disciplinary or interdisciplinary learning provides a platform for students to gaincollaborative teamwork skills that are transferrable to their professional career. The courseprovided an encouraging environment for students to collaborate and develop common eco-district design vocabulary and protocols. Student teams researched and prepared formal casestudies of exemplar eco-district design projects, and identified best practices used in the designprocess. They discovered why an interdisciplinary approach is a necessity for successfulplanning, implementation, and management of high-performance districts.The interdisciplinary process of the course emphasizes creating a collaborative environment

interdisciplinarity with other fields of study. A couple ofstudents drew on their backgrounds in ethnic studies to consider issues of equity, technology, anddevelopment in their design and methodology. One of the project members inflected the HCIproject with participatory design and community citizen science insights from research inScience, Technology & Society (STS), an interdisciplinary body of knowledge on practices,artifacts, and cultures of science and technology from technical, historical, and sociologicalmethods. The diverse expertise that such a collaboration provided allowed for a morecomprehensive solution than had they worked in isolated teams, leading to the development of aback-end data collection mechanism, a front-end user interface

passions is teaching. Her area of teaching specialization is structural engineering with a particular emphasis in the analysis and design of buildings. At Penn State she currently teaches a structural analysis course, the advanced steel design course and a graduate level course in steel connections. Her approach to these courses is to provide strategies for complex problem solving and a framework for lifelong learning. She is the recipient of the Penn State Engineering Society’s Outstanding Teaching Award (2003) and the Premier Teaching Award (2008). Building on a strong teaching record and an interest in building a more diverse engineering community, Dr. Hanagan has begun to expand her research into engineering

shutdownand reopening drastically altered course pedagogies as the traditional seated classrooms morphedinto online and hybrid or blended courses. The problem was that the transition did not align withthe original instructional design. The instructional strategy became uncoupled and was no longercompatible with the learning objectives and student outcomes. A personal experience narrativewas performed to describe the nature of the teaching experience as the pandemic intervened inthe classroom. This paper provides the hallmarks of best practices and lessons learned whenimplementing online education into the structural engineering courses at a small, Midwesternliberal arts, private institution.IntroductionThe governmental stay-at-home orders abruptly

design courses deserve a renewed sense of importance as students strive to concludethe academic experience and prepare themselves for transition to professional practice [10, 20,28]. It is an ABET accreditation requirement within AE Programs that graduates have a synthesislevel of knowledge in one of the four traditional AE disciplines (HVAC, Lighting/electrical,Construction, or Structural), with appropriate levels of application and comprehension of the otherthree disciplines [30]. Capstones provide excellent mechanisms for developing new leadersamongst the cohort of graduating students in these areas [26,30].Many researchers such as Dutson et al.

implementation among Architecture, Engineering,and Construction (AEC) Programs. Researchers have also identified best practices/proceduresimplemented in construction-specific courses to enhance student learning [18, 19]. Researchershave also depicted how new content areas (such as Sustainability, Building Performance, andBuilding Information Modeling) can be implemented using the OLE [20-22]. Thus, one can arguethat educators in the construction programs across the US were familiar with the OLE to a certaindegree. However, in March 2020, almost all universities within the US began calling for closuresand moving to OLE [23]. The transition to OLE was sudden for both the students and educators,especially for educators and programs where face-to-face
