Xing, Wanli; Pei, Bo; Li, Shan; Chen, Guanhua; Xie, Charles – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
Engineering design plays an important role in education. However, due to its open nature and complexity, providing timely support to students has been challenging using the traditional assessment methods. This study takes an initial step to employ learning analytics to build performance prediction models to help struggling students. It allows…

Shuang, Liang; Yibin, Han – International Education Studies, 2016
With the deepening of the concept of green building design, the course of university education gradually exposed many problems in the teaching of architectural design theory; based on the existing mode of teaching and combined with the needs of architectural design practice it proposed the "integrated" method of green building design. It…

Purzer, Senay; Goldstein, Molly Hathaway; Adams, Robin S; Xie, Charles; Nourian, Saeid – International Journal of STEM Education, 2015
Background: Design and science inquiry are intertwined during engineering practice. In this study, we examined the relationship between design behaviors and scientific explanations. Data on student design processes were collected as students engaged in a project on designing energy-efficient buildings on a blank square city block surrounded by…

Teaching Experiments Integrating Theory and Design.
Cole, Raymond J. – Journal of Architectural Education, 1980
A comparative study was undertaken at the School of Architecture, University of British Columbia, to explore the effective teaching and integration of energy principles in design. Two methods were examined: the structure of a design studio, and a change in the emphasis of a theory course. (MLW)

Insideout: Making Environmental Control Systems a Part of Design.
Brown, G. Z. – Journal of Architectural Education, 1980
A growing awareness of environmental problems and energy scarcity has led architects and engineers to reevaluate their approaches to building design. Three approaches to combining environmental control systems with design in the Department of Architecture at the University of Oregon are discussed. (MLW)
