Our students gained hands-on experience in the emergingindustries such as sustainability, technological innovation, and climate change; provided tours to educatethe public; and learned to work with industry professionals and various contractors on an acceleratedconstruction schedule. This resulted in the construction of a 1008 sq ft, net-zero house that was built in afactory in six weeks and installed on site in two weeks.

Any “below average” range (score of a 3.0 or lower) was notdeemed a successful outcome of team performance. A value between 3.0 and 4.0 was consideredpositive, but not highly impactful on positive overall team performance. Finally, any score with avalue of a 4.0 or higher was a success resulting in teams functioning at a top (high) performancelevel. Similar survey development has been utilized in engineering education in the past (McGourtyet al. 1998), yet not in the same context of technology supported multidisciplinary teams with fourdistinct technical options.

This paper describes an innovative approach to the integration of computerarchitecture and parallel programming tools into existing undergraduate and graduate-levelcurricula via network-computing technology, that reduces or eliminates the overheads in-volved in locating, testing, learning, using and maintaining tools. In addition to the network-computing infrastructure, integrating tools into existing classesrequires the availability of extensive educational material.
