Applicability of Multiple Building Technologies in Building Components' Design Education

Problem-based learning (PBL) as a part of course curriculum in architectural engineering education has already been formalized through longer retention of desired knowledge.The components of educational model are defined as learning environment, formulation of PBL, applicable building technologies and design guide.This paper aims to present applicability of multiple building technologies in building components' design education.Design guide is the backbone of this educational model and needs improvement in order to be used for the education of multiple building technology.Scaled model materials are evaluated due to their features and these features directly affect the students' performance in teamwork.Quantitative feedback are received from students by survey.Model materials and the effects over PBL environment are evaluated.Teamwork creates an effective working environment for the students to accomplish the task on time.Improvements are required for peer assessment and rubric and flexibility on building types is discussed.
