A trademark of all the projects was the concept of integrated design where the building solution incorporates the design efficiencies and aesthetics from each building discipline. This approach to design is stressed in all of his courses for engineers, architects, and construction managers alike.Thomas Leslie, Iowa State University Thomas Leslie, AIA is an Associate Professor of Architecture at Iowa State University.

Society for Engineering Education, 2006 “Assessing the Comprehensive Design Studio Course through Alternate Methods”AbstractCourse assessment typically consists of the review of a course by the teaching faculty memberbased on student grades from the course. This process, without additional methods, can lead to afalse sense of success in a course, and it becomes necessary to find alternate methods for furtherassessment.For the comprehensive design studio course, alternate methods of assessment have beenemployed. This course is a semester long architectural and engineering design studio where allphases of an architectural design project are covered, from schematic design through designdocumentation. In

Because of ACCE minimumrequirements and university imposed minimum General Requirements at the author’s university,advanced courses are not implemented, outside of independent study

, while understanding correlating managementpractices. One project occupies the entire semester, which is divided into three phases: schematicdesign, design development, and design documentation. Although the AE students must continueto design the project’s architecture, the requirements for them begin to differ during designdevelopment, placing a focus on structural systems design and calculations. Formal juries ofprofessional architects and engineers mark the transitions from one phase to another, and thecalendar allows the rare opportunity for students to respond to jury comments through designrevisions. Handouts are distributed and seminars occur weekly to provide additional informationand requirements as the designs progress.Even after many

most important prevalent mechanism to examinethe quality of teaching and effectiveness of professors. A research study was conducted in SPSUConstruction Department to examine the teaching effectiveness. The spatial transferability of thefaculty evaluation mechanisms, without regard to spatial socio-cultural differences, is discussedin this study based on the collected data and following a thorough literature review. It was foundthat the ratings of a large percentage of construction students were positively influenced whentheir exam grades were inflated; the entire course material was not covered during the semester;a project was not assigned to the course; and students were allowed to arrive late as well asabsent from class from time to time

11.1303.2IntroductionThis paper is concerned with the use of material fabrications in the teaching of architecturaldesign. It identifies and describes three different methodologies which have been used, in thecontext of Masters level studios, to organize the conception and construction of architecturalprojects; most particularly, projects defined by the exigencies of their physical properties. Forwell over 60 years the design studio has been at the center of architectural education serving asan important venue for exploring the relationship of building to construction. And it is the goalof this paper to critically assess the educational merit of three distinct exercises conceived topromote a paradigm shift in accepted studio procedures. To this end, and by way of

How do they come to know it or should they just takeresponsibility for the management of the process? More studies need to be done in this area butclearly the technology has changed their experience and is raising important pedagogicalquestions of authorship as well as ownership.Supporting DataSurveyA three-page blind survey was given to the Construction Design students at the conclusion oftheir first ten-week design development project for a large residence. Although the survey wasnot designed specifically for this paper, it does show characteristics of this new

Secondly, London’s status as a major economic center, its reputation for culturaldiversity, the richness of its historic architectural works, and the large numbers of recently builtand in many cases highly acclaimed architectural projects, were among other factors thatinfluenced the selection. These factors were important considerations in meeting courseobjectives beyond those related to the cooperative education requirement.Course Structure:As previously noted, while a primary objective of the course was to provide a curricular parallelto the college cooperative education requirement, other activities
