Courses at universities such as Vanderbilt2 and Purdue3 provide such backgroundknowledge, helping their students to make an informed decision about their choice of major.Frequently, such courses are designed in a modular structure, such that students can completedifferent modules and different hands-on projects based on their particular interests. Enablingstudents to make an informed choice of major was one of the most important learning objectivesof the first-semester engineering course at Valparaiso University until 2004, and it is still asecondary purpose of the course

Due to different circumstancesthrough the years’ service-learning has been more broadly accepted in planning programs than inarchitecture departments.
