In developing countries where resources are limited, the task of providing shelter for poverty stricken communities that are already in dire need of basic amenities can be a daunting one. This paper proposes a solution to this housing issue in the form of a modular home construction kit. These kits will provide such communities with a tool for sustainably constructing their own dwellings using local manpower combined with the natural resources available on site. The technique is based on the rammed earth principle in which the raw material for the construction process is primarily the natural soil present at the targeted location. This result in considerable savings in terms of sourcing and transporting costs of building materials typically used in traditional constructions methods. In addition, heavy or powered equipment is not needed for this construction technique making it a viable option for places where an electrical power supply or fuel source is not available.The project is part of a service-learning program, recently introduced at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs to afford students an opportunity to work on a multidisciplinary team while using their engineering knowledge to provide solutions to real world problems. The student team working on the project has been involved in developing all the necessary procedures for assessment of the location’s soil type as well as the design and sourcing of the kit components. They will also be required to develop the necessary instructional and training material to allow for assembly of the kit components and the implementation of the technique to produce a finished structure (excluding the roof).

This article aims to improve the understanding of DC electrical material by utilizing the PhET circuit-construction-kit-DC application. Learning activities using the Smartloop method and the utilization of virtual labs to facilitate students to solve the problem of electrical circuit material on the law II Kirchoff, more specifically in the closed circuit two loops that the way of completion is very complex with mathematical counts. From the experience of teaching students in the class XII IPA beginning in the school year 2018/2019 received positive note: 1) DC Electrical Learning assisted by PhET applications can be done through online or offline utilization of the Phet circuit-construction-kit-DC application supported by the Smartloop method, makes solving DC electrical problems easier and simpler; 2) The presentation of learning becomes more meaningful, the use of the Phet circuit-construction-Kit-DC application with the Smartloop method continues to prioritize the mastery of basic concepts, follow the rules/Use the principles or agreements that have been prevalent, and use reasoning. The results showed: a) students are more enthusiastic about learning, with indications of students eager to teach their peers who still do not understand the learning process in class and have fun lingering in front of the monitor screen; b) Students are more confident with the learning outcomes, because they can match the results using the usual process and how smartloop and the use of PhET circuit-construction-kit-DC; c) Better learning outcomes.
