teaching.Place all of this discourse within a context of that country‟s primary belief system and thelandscape changes as well. This paper‟s discussion focuses on Thailand and a country that isprimarily Buddhist and naturally the lessons about teaching become tempered with Buddhistphilosophy and practices. It is extremely interesting to North Americans to watch this interplayof Buddhist culture within architectural and design education. If one explores these articles thatcouch this education within design, the number of articles that compare the practices of teachingto North American practices of teaching is lean and, in an architectural context, the literaturetypically strays to a focus upon how Buddhist principles affect construction or design

objects, only one of which might be made byfolding the flat plate along the lines. The goal was to circle the one correct object that would bemade by folding the flat plate with no overlaps and no concealed sections of the plate foldedinside. The pre-test question was not duplicated in the post-test. This type of test was closest toone of the sections of probably the most widely used spatial visualization tests - Project Talent.Project Talent was a test containing 4 spatial visualization sections that was given to 400,000people in high school in the 1950‘s. This group was then tracked from that point to recent years.The results showed that people with higher spatial visualization scores in high school were morelikely to enter Science, Technology

The two courses, taught for third year B.Arch.’s and second yearM.Arch.’s at NJIT over four years, and more recently translated into first and third yearB.Arch. “tech-track” courses at Syracuse University, can be generalized as, respectively,Building Envelope Performance and Building Interior Environment & Service Systems,aimed principally in

numbering and language of the current version will be used.Although the ASCE member’s original indictment alleged false testimony before a grand jury,suggesting a violation of canon 3’s mandate to “issue public statements only in an objective andtruthful manner,” the CPC felt that the swift dismissal of the indictment and the member’ssubsequent assistance to the grand jury made it difficult to support a violation of that canon.Instead, the committee focused on the member’s confession that, at his supervisor’s direction, hehad falsified his time sheets to inflate the hours reported as time spent on the public project.Canon 4 of the code says that “engineers shall act in professional matters for each employer orclient as faithful agents or trustees

: The most common system used in the late 1800s and early 1900s consisted of a roof tank(s) combined with constant-speed pumps that operated by a level switch in the tank. When the level in the tank would approach a pre-determined height, the pumps would either turn on to fill the tank(s) or turn off when the tank is full (Larson, 2007). Water storage was also required for fire protection, and tanks provided for both needs. The water is distributed using gravity downfeed arrangement. b. Multiple zones: High zone tank and low zone tank: If multiple zones were required, multiple tanks were used. An air gap creates a pressure break between the upper and lower zones. The tanks must be

These four perceptionskills become the thread that goes over the lecture, demonstration and drawing assignments.Purpose of Study It is agreed by educators and practitioners that freehand sketching is a critical skill fordesigners. It is required by Council of Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA) to incorporateillustrative sketching in interior design curriculum (CIDA Standards). Students need to be able tocommunicate their design ideas through graphic communication skills. Pable (2007) ‘s studyindicated that educators and practitioners were unified in their positive perceptions of quick 3Dsketches as a component of design process, and they

interface was based on atrace-paper overlay mechanism in which designers could use drawing tools that created line-work modeled after traditional markers and pencils. It could also merge sketches into 3-Dmodels, thus bridging the gap between 2-D and 3-D graphics. However, its limited adoption hasbeen attributed to the lack of wide-scale adoption of pen-based input devices [10]. Many othersketch based 2-D to 3-D have been proposed or developed by researchers over the past decades.These include seminal applications such as Sutherlands SketchPad, a constraint-based drawingenvironment developed in the 1960’s, and STRAIT, a program developed in the 1970’s thatinterpreted sketch geometry as straight lines [11]. Recent developments in the interface

increasingly been recognized as a mechanism for synthesizing real-world experience with academic course content. In recent years, it has been widelyacknowledged that classes designed by utilizing PBL Project - Based Learning are effective inenhancing the problem-solving ability of university students. [1] First coming to prominence inthe 1990’s, effectively structured project-based learning exercises provide a framework in whichstudents are required to draw on their prior coursework to develop solutions for “real world”problems. In a project based learning environment the learners are “actively engaged in workingat tasks and activities which are authentic to the environment in which they would be used” witha focus on “learners as constructors of their

Page 22.1629.10 The curriculum requires a proficient if not advanced knowledge of certain buildingsimulation strategies to execute the analysis approaches central to the proposed course’sconcepts. There are many software packages and pathways and each have certain strengths andweaknesses when it comes to building performance modeling. This section focuses on thecriteria upon which to select the appropriate tools for the curriculum. The students will need some previous knowledge of a few different performancemodeling software applications. Primarily, they will need proficiency with software(s) capable ofreliable yearly thermodynamic modeling for multiple zone buildings. It is critical that thesoftware be able to compute the load
