▶Objectives
The nZEBRA’s project aims to develop an intensive blended course on Climate neutral buildings, based on micro-credentials. Interdisciplinary and challenge-based in its nature, it seeks to empower Master students in architecture, civil and energy engineering and similar to design innovative solutions for climate neutral buildings. It will address the labour market demand for high-qualified professionals in the field, thus contributing to the global actions towards mitigating climate change.
▶Activities
A course methodological framework will be co-created based on field study, incl. online survey, focus groups, interviews, and design-thinking sessions. The course content will include theory and challenge- and project- based learning scenarios (CBL, PBL) to activate students. ToT toolkit will be designed to address the needs for training in BIM/BEM software and CBL pedagogy. Learning and teaching activities will validate the innovative blended course among research, business, and learners.
▶Impact
The nZEBRA project result in creating an intensive blended course in Climate neutral buildings (PR5). It will be composed of PR1 Methodological framework which outlines innovative course syllabus, blending in-class education with virtually facilitated individual and group assignments. The course is divided in PR2 Theoretical content and PR3 Booklet with challenge-based & project-based learning scenarios. A Train-the-trainer toolkit (PR4) will tackle students’ educational needs and market demand.
