The students were led by Assistant Professor DeAnna Leitzke ’98 ’08, with funding from MSOE’s Office of Servant-Leadership. The house features carpet, working windows and even a doorbell, and raised $3,500 in the auction to raise money for childhood cancer research.
“All in all the project was a success,” said Leitzke. “It took longer than originally anticipated, but the end result was wonderful. The students who worked on it were able to use the knowledge that they learned in the classroom to make something wonderful to help the community. My goal is to find ways to bring these real-life applications into all of my construction classes.”
