seismic loads are determined using the ASCE 7-05 code‘Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures’. This is the student’s first exposureto this code that will be highly used throughout their careers. Preliminary design calculations areperformed to determine structural sizes that are modeled in a frame analysis program used in thiscourse. The frame analysis program used is the RISA-3D analysis/design program, and a modelFig 3: Students utilize the RISA-3D Program during the Analysis Phase of the Project 2for the entire building structure is input for analysis. Though the students have used this programin a previous course, its use in that course was limited, and did not include a three dimensionalstructural modeling. Utilizing this

staff from the construction industry advised that technology and management subjects alonewere not sufficient to prepare young engineers for a career in a construction industry that wasdealing with more complex projects that placed a higher level of risk on the contractor. Thesepoints were developed in a number of articles3,4,6,7,8,9,10,11 .The program ran successfully throughout the eighties, but by the early nineties was in need ofreview. The review was encouraged by a number of factors such as the bulk of the student bodybeing international students, the shortage of engineering skills available for major projects, theincreasing emphasis on sustainability in the Construction Industry and an increasing interest inthe subject of risk in the
