The last half of the course is a laboratoryproject, accomplished in teams of two. The students accomplish a written test plan andmake a presentation on the test plan early in the course to get the necessary backgroundinformation. This enables the students to purchase required materials and beginfabrication, if necessary, for the final project early in the course.

Data wascollected from two groups of students who participated in this creativity course and completedtwo peer teaching activities. Each student taught a 15-minute lesson to a group of peers,submitted a detailed lesson plan, and wrote self- and peer-assessments after class.

The BIM design methodologycombined with the software allows all the design professionals, from all disciplines and trades, tocontribute knowledge and share it in one three dimensional parametric model. Once the designteam is finished the contractors can use this same model to do quantity extractions, estimating,construction planning and even computer aided manufacturing. During owner operation of thebuilding, this model can be used for facility management and planning. The use of BIM caneliminate the reliance on rolls of two dimensional drawings and the

This criterion helps distinguish experience-based learning (e.g., learning through doing) from classroom or training environments. Second,learning events can be structured or unstructured, where structured learning occurs within somekind of planned system. Last, the facilitator may be either active or passive. It is active if thefacilitator drives the learning experience (e.g., a software training program), but passive if thelearner needs to reach out to the facilitator to acquire new information (e.g., asking a coworker aquestion about a work task).Table 1: Initial categories of learning and

resource plan. One of the first steps for developing the human resource plan is identifying and documenting roles and responsibilities. This is particularly critical in small to medium-sized liberal arts colleges looking to obtain initial ABET accreditation. Historically, these colleges lack in-house expertise regarding the process. Moreover, preparation ideally starts several years before the campus visit, therefore, roles such as acquiring accreditation knowledge, training, dissemination of such training are identified at the beginning. Among the qualities of a good human resource plan are that it can determine if human resource requirements are met, how they are met, determine when they are no longer met, and has a clear plan of acquiring

This creates limitations to whatinstructors can accomplish with students lacking the necessary knowledge and skills unless thereare added requirements for pre-requisite coursework, additional time taken in class to teach extramaterial, or extra assignments for students to learn the material independently. Each of thesesolutions means the course must be modified to reduce content or increase time and effort ofstudents to enable new content to be included. In most cases this is a major impediment and onethat prevents instructors from moving forward with plans for anything more
