This study is a follow-up to the author‘s studyof the use of visual aids in classrooms that are not supplemented with a laboratory component forhands-on learning.Background:Spatial reasoning is ―the mental manipulation of objects and their parts in 2D and 3D space.‖1 Ithas also been defined as concerning the locations of objects, their shapers, their relations to eachother, and the paths they take as they move.2 Research has shown

. According toCrawley, et. al. although many users rely on a single tool for design decisions, it may be moreproductive to use multiple tools. Additional tools can be used to provide information that asingle tool could not provide, or they can be used as “second opinions” to build confidence in adesign decision7.Building SelectionThe design and floor plan of thebuilding used in the modules arebased on the First Jacobs House8(Figure 1), a 1550 square footresidential building designed byFrank Lloyd Wright in 1936. TheFirst Jacobs House was part ofWright’s Usonia movement. Thebuilding, located in Madison,Wisconsin, was chosen for two mainreasons. One, its smaller size as aresidential building made it moretractable for the purpose of a Figure 1

engineeringdisciplines, including mechanical, electrical, fire protection, and others. The architecturalengineers are responsible for the different systems within a building, structure, or complex.Architectural engineers focus several areas, including: the structural integrity of buildings; thedesign and analysis of heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems; efficiency and design ofplumbing, safety and fire protection and electrical systems; acoustic and lighting planning, andenergy conservation.In this paper, our objective is to present the new curriculum at University of Wyoming thatfocuses on several disciplines: HVAC systems design, energy, plumbing, fire protection andbuilding electricity. This multidisciplinary program focuses on the integration

In engineering courses all too often the contextof a problem right down to the boundary conditions is given to students. In thisassignment the students had to pick a site and figure out the constraints and conditions itpresented by themselves. At this point the students formed into six groups of three. Mostgroups chose a site they had some familiarity with, either from their hometowns, a citythey had visited, or a site they had used in a previous design studio project. The reportcreated included: a plan

American Institute of Architects (AIA). Invite professionals to campus to discuss the CM industry.ObjectiveWe hope to develop three track options for our AET students within a program accredited byboth the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) and the NationalArchitectural Accreditation Board (NAAB). The three tracks would include a General Studies(GS) Track, a Construction Management (CM) Track and an Architectural Design (AD) Track.Our approach has always been to prepare our students for all aspects of the construction industry.We plan to continue this, but add an emphasis on specific aspects of the construction industry tobetter prepare our graduates for a very competitive industry.The CM track is an intensive track

The two-story building is rectangular in plan with dimensions of 60′ in the north-south (short) directionand 160′ in the east-west (long) direction. The floor and roof diaphragms are 4½" thick concreteslabs. The shear walls in the north-south direction are composed of reinforced masonry. Theshear wall in the east-west direction is composed of reinforced concrete. After reviewing theplans for the building, the students walked

The study conducted within the capstonecourse focus not only on the building envelope, but focus on all components, such as furnace, boiler, andfan that contribute to the improved energy performance of buildings.A comprehensive experimental study has been conducted on several residential houses, and one buildingat the University campus (regarding the University campus building the focus has been conducted onmotors efficiency and daylight control plan) to demonstrate the best ways to improve the energyefficiency, and identify the most appropriate energy conservation measures. Students have been involvedas follow: about 35 undergraduate students (ARE/ME) have been divided in groups: - Instrumentation and

In HCL, to both its credit and its detriment, the same numbers almost all butdisappear into side-bars or simple rule-of-thumb tables6 yet with a purpose that I believe hasgreater promise and purpose. For the bulk of HCL’s arguments are qualitative, relational andgeometric - more or less southern exposure, greater or lesser degrees of cross ventilationpaths, etc. - in a manner that literally relies on a student’s “obvious” reading of its very notslick photographs and simple illustrations to pass along ownership of their “proof” to thereader - “Here, see for yourself!” Reflecting now on my two systems courses, there

more time andenergy to focus on the interaction between the disciplines rather than just falling back into theirown respective silos due to time constraints on delivering the project submittals.A second critical variable in project selection is the type of project. The use of buildingrenovation as a project type offers some significant advantages over new construction. Thedesign process requires time to synthesize the program requirements into a physical shape for thebuilding. This planning process lends itself to the skills of the ARCH students leaving the ARCEand CM students not as fully engaged at the start of the quarter. Using an existing building limitsthe planning process and allows the teams to more quickly focus on specific layouts
