And based on both student andalumni feedback, the models played a significant role in their learning process.It is the hope of the author that using models helps students better understand structures andbetter understand the role of the architectural engineer. There is no scientific method to proclaimthis is the answer for training young architectural engineering minds about structures andbuilding technology, but in all of the courses the students become engaged when they work withtheir hands and minds in a creative environment. And personally, this is the first hurdle tolearning. If these classes were taught in a pure lecture setting, topics such as tolerances andconcrete finishes could be
