Part B: Building Leadership Capacity - DSC: Property, Construction & Project Management ART Report<br />
Unexpected 1107 – There was a large variation in <strong>student</strong> comments<br />
regarding their reactions to CAD. Some loved using it, <strong>and</strong> some loathed<br />
it. Many <strong>student</strong>s requested that more CAD be included in later courses.<br />
Most <strong>student</strong>s produced high-quality CAD drawings.<br />
Were there changes in <strong>student</strong> learning <strong>and</strong> experiences?<br />
Students that enjoyed <strong>and</strong> saw the worth in the “h<strong>and</strong>s-on” CAD exercise<br />
had better learning outcomes.<br />
How are the <strong>student</strong>s being taught differently? Eg teaching strategies, structure<br />
& size of classes etc<br />
1154 – Despite the conventional lecture mode <strong>for</strong> the classes, there was far<br />
more two-way interaction in each class, due to the dem<strong>and</strong>s of the reflective<br />
journal <strong>and</strong> also the nature of the presentations – mostly from external industry<br />
presenters combined with the course coordinator <strong>and</strong> primary lecturer.<br />
1107 - Each CAD workshop had a maximum of 19 <strong>student</strong>s, with one teacher.<br />
Previously CAD was taught in an auditorium with all 210 <strong>student</strong>s at once.<br />
What other impacts (including long term outcomes) were there?<br />
A further long term impact of the ART project is the consolidation <strong>and</strong><br />
embedding of the LTC as a vehicle within the School to promote <strong>and</strong> share<br />
a variety of learning <strong>and</strong> teaching methods <strong>and</strong> to generally promote sound<br />
learning <strong>and</strong> teaching practice.<br />
Were there any tangible outcomes eg Grants, scholarship etc<br />
––<br />
1107 – Each <strong>student</strong> who completed the CAD component received<br />
an internationally recognised AUTOCAD certificate as well as a mark that<br />
was included in their overall assessment. This is a new initiative <strong>and</strong> has<br />
been favourabily accepted by <strong>student</strong>s.<br />
––<br />
A further outcome from the ART focus on learning <strong>and</strong> teaching facilities<br />
has resulted in the Head of School chairing the University <strong>Learning</strong> Space<br />
Advisory Group (L-SAG).<br />
––<br />
Several related LTIF grants awarded by the University.<br />
– – Research papers reporting on parts of the ART process are in progress<br />
<strong>for</strong> publication.<br />
