For example, the team decided thatsimplified graphic floor plans would best contextualize the building performance data. Suchplans are characteristic of architectural communications and are a simple but effective way todisplay information for people to recognize and understand the buildings they inhabit. Given thescope and content of the data, the team further decided that cycling display pages were required.As designed, the on-screen graphical interface currently consists of six separate pages whichcycle and update every few seconds.

Project Description:The subject of this paper is part of the Learning Module #10: Flow of Air Through Ducts. Thestudents were required to design a heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) system tosatisfy the heating load requirements for one of the MET laboratories rooms in the ETDepartment. Other than access to the laboratory for floor plan measurements, no additionalinformation was given to the students.This HVAC project was specifically created and implemented for three important reasons.

students determine the best way to set up their experiment. The students planned marker placement, orientation oftheir object in the calibrated space, and recorded any other information such as mass or dimensions of their object beforestarting the trials. Allowing the students to plan marker placement helped them understand the dynamic problem they choseto analyze since they had to decide what kinematic information was important for their analysis. Students usually spent 12minutes on planning, 7 minutes on recording data and the rest of the time was spent showing the students how their data waspost-processed using the Cortex 7.0 system along with the final output of their kinematic data.

Comparing these unconventional game-based exercises withother regular lab assignments, 80% students felt the game-based labs as more interesting andengaging. 20% students liked the idea but felt some modules are not as challenging as regular labs,since they were given too much help.

At our institution, students must pass every course required fortheir major in three attempts or fewer, often with a grade of C or better, or they are dismissedfrom the major. To reduce the number of students being dismissed, we created a self-assessmentand contract based on appreciative and proactive advising for use during individual meetingswith students on their third attempt of a class. Appreciative advising uses a positive approach tohelp students identify their strengths and co-create a plan to reach their goals using thosestrengths [2

But it was not enough. Thestudents still struggled to complete their first paper. Thus, students were required to produce awriting plan with the outlines for their second paper. This proved helpful, and a number of studentscommented on the benefits of the act of planning out how much they would write per week or perday, or which sections they would write and when. Even when they did not fulfil their own plans,they had a sense of what they had done and what remained, and how they should arrange their timeand the task accordingly.4. Assessmenta
