. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2024 Using AI Chatbots to Produce Engineering Spreadsheets in an Advanced Structural Steel Design CourseAbstractEngineers have historically embraced the use of technology to increase efficiency, reduce errors incalculations, and produce high quality projects on a shorter timeline. The Excel spreadsheet is aprime example of how engineers embraced technology for those reasons. Excel has been a staple inproducing an immeasurable number of engineering calculations. However, humans have alwaysbeen responsible for spreadsheet development and, unfortunately, humans will inherently produceerrors within spreadsheets. But what if an engineer can reduce the number of errors and produce

onbest practices and leading industry trends. To the AEC industry’s leading providers of critical thinkers,creative solution makers and future leaders, AE programs adopt a myriad of teaching strategies. The coreof AE programs revolve around providing a realistic design and construction experience for students thatsimulates industry, with senior capstone projects commonly being the location for such an experience. Upto now, much has been researched on capstone delivery, but often excluded in this research are AE programsdue to the small cohort size, as say compared to mechanical engineering. This paper is the third in a seriesof AE program benchmarking, where the initial paper looked at general formulations, delivery, and projectutilization

façade design projects in the industry. To address this issue, the authorsdecided to develop a course titled ‘façade design’ that would incorporate various topics, namely:structural design of aluminum curtain walls and cold formed steel facades using relevantstandards and codes, estimating heat transfer through various façade systems and, assessing airand water leakage through facades using relevant ASTM standards. Furthermore, to enhancestudent learning and future employment opportunities, the course will involve a visit to a nearbyindustry specializing in façade design, besides having a guest speaker from the industry to sharetheir experience and knowledge. Prior to developing the course, a detailed literature review wasconducted to find out

applications is essential. Therefore, acomprehensive understanding of topics and their interrelations becomes fundamental. Mindmaps serve as a valuable tool, facilitating graphic representations that link various topicscovered within a course. Visual tools can help “clarify the relationship between materialobjects and concepts to understand” [2]. The critical challenges faced by an ArPM (Architect Project Manager) are listed as “socialskills, decision-making skills, problem-handling skills, ability to recognize opportunities, andmanagement of changes as key personal attributes affecting project success [3].Consequently, it is possible to question undergraduate architecture courses and whether theyare properly preparing students for their professional

andcomparative analysis.When a green roof and vegetative weight are added to the structure of a roof, it can consequentlyincrease the structural material needed for a project. This is especially true for green roofs withplants that need deeper soil and more water than other plant types. This additional structure willincrease the material needed to construct the building and affect the carbon footprint of thebuilding, specifically the embodied carbon. Embodied carbon is derived from the construction ofthe building, transportation and manufacturing of materials, and the installation of products inthe building. It is a calculated value that is used to understand the total carbon emission outputthat it takes to make a new construction happen. It is
