Resource of the Day 3/11

Today we look at a fusion of my two fields. This is how I could apply civil engineering and design skills to help students in the learning process. Believe it or not, the environment in which a student learns and lives is absolutely influential on their success in the future. This study conducted throughout 2008 tested the effects of three different school designs, each with different methods of lighting, classroom capacity, and hallway traffic systems. I think it is truly interesting that there is a correlation between the effective education of students, and the very structures in which they learn.
