the students undertake three group project assignments intimber, concrete and steel respectively. In ARC311, Timber Design, Concrete Design andSteel Design are covered in that order. After students are finished with the lectures foreach material, a project is assigned. For each project they are presented with a volume orseries of volumes with a prescribed program (usually one that requires a mix of large andsmall structural spans). They are also provided with the relevant live load tables, snowload maps, some estimates of dead load, a chart with allowable spans for various systems,and any other background information that they might need. They are also given a list ofsteps to streamline the process.The students work in groups of 3-4. They may

provide a clear identification of specific steps that are taken to accomplish each goal. These are selected after the internal and external environmental scans are completed. Each objective and goal has a “champion” assigned to it. This is a person who insures that it gets accomplished. Examples of goals and objectives:  Excellence in Teaching and Learning 1. Attract more students, including better prepared students and a more diverse population to the school. . Champion’s name________________________________ 2. Increase involvement in Project Lead the Way and similar programs. Champion’s

ismaterial neutral, the Small Scale Structures and Large Scale Structures courses are materialspecific. The Small Scale Structures course focuses on timber and single story steel framedbuildings. The Large Scale Structures course focuses on multi-story reinforced concrete andstructural steel framed buildings. Students learn the characteristics, advantages anddisadvantages of different structural systems, how to evaluate the different systems and how todevelop the preliminary structural designs of buildings. The courses also cover foundations,cladding and long span and high rise structures.The primary goal of this series is to give these students tools that will assist them in their careersas project leaders so they can better produce efficient

and axial stress. While studying thesedesigners, who worked during the rise of the modern movement in architecture, engineeringstudents will also be exposed to cultural and social issues affecting the design of large scale civilworks projects. This was also a time in which graphic statics was commonly used to find goodforms for structures and to determine member forces. The Swiss engineer, Robert Maillart,epitomized this way of working.
