This is an ongoingevolutionary exercise.3.0 Course Learning Goals and Objectives Our Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) Industry calls for the best-educated,creative graduates to lead integrative teams to solve technically challenging building projects. Whenrestructuring the Colab Studio, two primary goals set the tone for the new pilot: 1) have projects that aremission-driven towards a client’s needs and 2) develop integrated design solutions to meet the client andcode requirements that follows a professional design environment. The duality of technical expertise andskillful leadership in integrative design demands an innovative form of learning. The MDID studio took theoverarching goals and
and Flexible Model for Structural Engineering Courses: Lessons Learned During the Covid19 Global PandemicAbstractThis work presents the latest results on how to successfully apply a hybrid and flexible model forteaching Engineering Courses, particularly Structural Mechanics courses to students fromArchitecture and Civil Engineering programs during emergency conditions such as those due tothe Covid19 Pandemic. This model has been used for the last few years with tremendous successin the performance of the students and their overall satisfaction as it has been shown in [1]. Forthe pandemic conditions, the synchronous sessions were changed from the classroom on campusto the online classroom with videoconferencing. Some new types of

Following the success of the first AEDesign Days event, the same project model was implemented in 2019, with minormodifications to improve the event logistics and student experience. This paper discussesthe planning and implementation of the most recent edition of the event held in 2020 and thedramatic overhaul required as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the transition toonline/remote learning. With new constraints and potential opportunities associated with theonline learning platform, the event saw its overall intent and structure shift to prime thestudents for working online in an AE context, and to provide a vessel to introduce students tothe program and build new relationships, since these efforts are

This survey focused on examining the impacts of the mid-spring switch to onlineinstruction and the anticipated impacts of continued online instruction. Figure 1 presents theseinstructor perceptions in two graphs (n= 15). The questions presented in this figure were asked using aslider along a continuum from “Much Worse” to “Much Better”. The graph shows the count of instructorresponses to how their students were impacted from the switch in Spring 2020 in the areas of studentmotivation, participation in class, and ability to

necessity for activities that allow both, lecturer and student, generate aclass dynamic that promotes active interaction.In order to achieve the academical objectives in all types of scenarios, not only in thecontingency one, teachers must take into consideration that the new generation of students needsfrequent stimulus in order to acquire their attention and optimize their acquisition of knowledgeand competencies development. Adding interactive elements to class session can increase thestudents’ attention span [1]. In online courses, this can present itself as a challenge or anopportunity. Institutional learning has entirely changed its dynamic process as consequence ofthis necessity, introducing methods as: gamification, flipped-classrooms

Facultyspend a considerable amount of time developing their courses, which are uniquely suited for thein-person, seated, learning experience. We may coordinate our courses using an instructionaldesign model such as the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, andEvaluation) [2]. The ADDIE and other instructional systems design methods align the learningobjectives, instruction, student outcomes, and assessment techniques. A problem arises when theoriginal instructional design method is no longer applicable. The governmental and institutionalreactions created a sea change effect for courses originally
instructors with recent findings to discuss the role of women in constructionnowadays.IntroductionThe construction sector is one of the largest contributors to the United States’ gross domesticproduct (GDP), with 4.2% of the total GDP [1]. Though the construction industry employs closeto 11 million people [2], it still faces a shortage of workers due to increased demand for newprojects and a reduced number of skilled workers [3]. Despite employing millions of workers, itremains a male-dominated industry, with women accounting for roughly 10.9% of workers inconstruction [2]. And in the case of construction managers, that number is even lower, at 8.4%[4]. Though economic and societal changes have helped to increase women’s participation in theworkforce

Specifically, to facilitate students’ gainingpractical skills, a library of virtual objects was established for the main physical components orsystems related to the undergraduate “Heating, Ventilating, and Air-conditioning (HVAC)” classto allow students to be immersed in an augmented learning reality representing the real physicalworld. Design: The library of virtual lab modules was established by 1) including all the mainHVAC components in an HVAC course; 2) refining these components’ 3D models with learningmaterials (e.g., concept and evaluation); 3

fundamental understanding of how the structure responds or is designed torespond to these loadings. As such, architectural engineering programs have an obligation toteach the skill set of load determination, application, and analysis within their curriculum.Fortunately, most jurisdictions in the United States have adopted the International BuildingCode [1] and thus ASCE 7 (American Society of Civil Engineering, Minimum Design Loads forBuildings and Other Structures [2]). Based on this adoption, the ASCE 7 code is the naturalchoice to use for the determination of loadings within a course that focuses on the topic ofstructural loadings. However, teaching code procedures alone are not sufficient to gain anunderstanding of how structures behave due to
author had a unique opportunity for a comparative analysis with two concurrentgraphics course sections: a section that used traditional face-to-face teaching and a section thatadopted live-stream remote instruction. This work-in-progress paper will compare the twogroups’ performances in the Introduction to Graphics course, which shared identical coursecontent. A spatial reasoning test was used to provide quantitative results for the control and testgroups. Also, the performance indicator outlined by the department and accreditation body [1]was used for the assessment data. This paper defines various remote teaching methods andevaluates their effectiveness, comparing them to active learning strategies. As graphics coursesare common in

[2] Inaddition, the demand for skilled STEM workers is projected to increase. Although many effortshave been taken to increase STEM interest and STEM career pursuit, shortages in the STEMfield continue to exist. STEM fields do not attract and retain enough workers from youngergenerations.[3],[4],[5] As a result, the current and estimated supply to the STEM workforce doesnot meet the growing demand.
