Across these subjects, my consistent effort has been to ensure that students understand the larger purpose and applicability of what they are learning, rather than approaching each course as a discrete academic requirement.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"620\" data-end=\"1310\">In Building Services, I consciously lean into the integration and coordination aspects during the pre-construction stage of projects. Instead of treating services as independent technical systems, I emphasize their role in influencing early design decisions, constructability, sequencing, and lifecycle performance. Students are encouraged to analyze coordination challenges between architecture, structure, and MEP systems and understanding how informed decision-making at the design stage reduces conflicts during execution. This approach helps them view services as performance drivers and managerial responsibilities rather than purely engineering inputs.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1312\" data-end=\"1888\">In Design Management and Integrating Design with Engineering, I focus on the interface between creative intent and technical feasibility. Sessions are structured around real-world issues such as consultant coordination, information flow, scope clarity, and stakeholder alignment. While teaching Project Management through PMBOK, the emphasis is not on theoretical knowledge areas alone, but on how scope, time, cost, quality, risk, and communication interact in live project environments. The intention is to build systems thinking and structured decision-making abilities.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1890\" data-end=\"2201\">Through Research Methodology and Research Seminars, I guide students to approach research as applied inquiry. I encourage them to frame industry-relevant questions, structure their investigations logically, and develop outcomes that can inform professional practice rather than remain purely academic exercises.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2203\" data-end=\"2473\">In applied tool-based sessions involving Revit, ACC, and Power BI, I position software as an enabler of coordination, monitoring, and data-driven decision-making within the broader AEC ecosystem. The objective is to help students understand workflows, not just features.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2475\" data-end=\"3010\">Beyond classroom engagement, I conceptualized and coordinated the Design and Project Management Conclave in March 2025. It is an industry-academia interface initiative aimed at bringing practitioners, project managers, and design professionals into dialogue with students. The conclave was structured to highlight emerging industry expectations, interdisciplinary collaboration, and evolving project delivery models. This initiative reflected my belief that academic programs must actively engage with industry discourse to remain relevant.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>"
