typically slide shows, structural drawings, skeletalmodels showing the framing scheme, plus any props required to convey the structural principalsbehind their designs to the reviewers. Students were required to keep the knowledge of theiraudience in mind, again reinforcing the concept of clear and concise communication and areminder to use simple terms to describe complex engineering principles. Three practicingengineers of with various structural expertise plus both instructors presided as the jury for thestudent presentations. Projects were reviewed for technical merit as well as architecturalsensitivity – how well was the architectural intent preserved. Most design solutions expressedthe structure to reinforce the architectural space so

© American Society for Engineering Education, 2006 Teaching Dynamics of Cultural Dimensions In Design To Create Sustainable Environment: A Cross-Cultural Comparison Of ArchitectureAbstract Sustainable design is the concept that recognizes human civilization as an integral part ofthe natural world, and that nature must be preserved if the human community itself is to survive.Cultural dimensions of design are the tangible and intangible aspects of cultural systems that arevalued by or representative of, a given culture and reflected in the built environment [12]. Therewas no existing course in our curriculum to cover the topic of culture and design. Therefore, it isnecessary to develop a new

of theprogram’s leadership and faculty in order to guide the program more effectively. The advisorygroups are sometimes used to provide a certain type of membership status, for example inArchitectural Engineering Technology programs often seek out retired construction related firmleaders or potential donors. Keep in mind that advisory groups do not have formal authority togovern the organization, that is, they cannot issue directives that must be followed. Rather,advisory groups serve to make recommendations and/or provide key information, materials, andresources to the program’s leadership.3We have been fortunate to attract industry leaders from different parts of the constructionindustry to actively participate on the advisory board and
