A term class project was initiated as part of aStrength of Materials course. The project included the creation of a laboratory setup and session,lecture sessions, tests, problem-solving case studies, presentations, and reports. Active learningprojects that engage students in structured course activities benefit students more than traditionallecture-based approach because students learn to construct their own version of knowledge

To ensure thatstudent projects are along the same trajectory that the industry is moving, educators mustcontinually introduce emerging techniques, practices, and applications into the curriculum. Thefield of wireless sensor networks is growing rapidly, and there is increasing interest in providingundergraduate students with a foundation in the area. It is crucial that the emerging field ofwireless sensor networks be integrated into the undergraduate computer science and engineeringcurricula.

Therefore, a paradigm shift is necessary to educate students torecognize sustainability as a changing constraint in construction.As construction industry demands for graduates with broader understanding of impact ofconstruction projects on environment and overall quality of life, universities have tried to come upwith innovative ways to teach students with knowledge of sustainability concepts. However, dueto already full construction management curriculum it has been a challenge to equip students withvarious sustainable solutions. One of the solutions to this
