In particular, engineering students need to learn: how to work within the dynamic of a large (more than 6) group of people with diverse backgrounds that a personal commitment to contributing one’s own share is critical to team success that each team member must stay focused on the common goal and on his or her own assigned tasks that once a collaborative team decision has been made and a plan for the team formulated, everyone on the team must support the outcomes that each individual’s thoughts and ideas must be respected and valued as the collaborative effort develops that it takes “give and take” to

emphasise learning instead of lecturing is the main idea behind both project work and problembased learning. Learning is the active process of investigation and creation based on the learner’sinterest, curiosity and experience, and it should result in expanded insight and knowledge skills.The main element of the pedagogical concept is study plans, which for each semester (½ year)describes courses and prescribes a theme for each term. Within the semester theme each supervisortogether with a student group can choose a project. The project time is calculated theoretically tocover half of each semester except at the final where the project can cover from one to twosemesters. The five-year’s education for a master degree is divided into 4 phases – for

This involves setting realistic goals and using good time management techniques toobtain them. We suggest methods whereby a professor can accomplish more than one task at thesame time. Examples include how to combine teaching and research, how to combine consultingand teaching, and how to combine personal and professional activities. There are other strategiesthat will be described in this paper that can help to increase a professor’s significance.

of an experience,Dewey refers to reflection on experience as a learning loop that runs back and forth between theexperience and the relationships being inferred5. The concept of the learning loop has gainedpopularity through the work of Kolb6 and his four stage experiential learning model: 1)experience; 2) reflection; 3) generalising or theorising; and 4) planning. Therefore, the idealexperiential learner will be able to 1) involve themselves in new experiences without bias; 2) reflect upon experiences from multiple perspectives; 3) integrate their observations into logically sound theories; and 4) use these theories in decision making and problem solving.This kind of practice is precisely what is being

building systems are planned and installed independently [8]. Traditional designcan be understood as a linear process, but sequential work routines may be unable to support anyadequate design optimization efforts during individual phases, which could lead to higher projectcosts [9]. Integrative design considers and optimizes the building as an integral system for itslifespan. This can be achieved when all project actors collaborate across disciplines and agree ondecisions jointly from the beginning.The integrated design process emphasizes the iteration of design concepts early [9].
