The course is assessed each yearthrough course assessment plans, course assessment reports, student course critiques andprogram graduation surveys. Quantitative and qualitative assessment data are presented. Itsupports multiple ABET student outcomes and criteria. Students rate it among their favoriteundergraduate courses. More importantly, it prepares them for their future roles in designing andmanaging real building projects.Keywords: ABET, architecture, civil engineering, engineering design, interdisciplinary, BIMIntroductionUndergraduate civil engineering programs
practice plan reading. The main motivation for instructors to incorporatethis software in their classes is to expose students to technology they will encounter aspractitioners, especially significant since contractors view these drawings as a legal descriptionof their scope of work. Therefore, the production and interpretation of the documents requiresthat they exhibit a high level of accuracy, specificity, and clarity.This paper focuses on the use of Bluebeam markup and grading in architectural engineeringcourses to enable communication between faculty and students during the iterative structuraldesign process. The paper provides sample student hand calculations, sketches, and CADstructural drawings with Bluebeam markups provided by practitioner

The program features 24 months of compulsory / inclusive coop workexperience, along with a series of core studio courses in each of the eight academic terms. Eachof these courses will involve the planning and execution of a series of design projects thatintegrate and put into practice concepts covered in the other courses the students
interest is in the mechanical properties of glass at room and high temperature. Dr. Gonzalez has also a broad experience in the glass industry, specifically in fabrication of automotive safety glass. He worked for Vitro Glass Company for more than 19 years where he held different positions such as Process Engineer, Materials Planning and Logistics Manager, Production Superintendent, Manufacturing Engineer and Glass Technologist. During his time in the company, he co-authored two patents related to glass fabrication and glass coatings pro- cessing. Dr. Gonzalez is a Six-Sigma Black Belt and has participated in numerous process improvement projects. He has been trained as well in the Methodology of Inventive Problem

The planning ofthis project also involved coordination with the regional food bank, Island Harvest, who iscurrently operating a community garden on a leased plot on campus. The garden providedsufficient context for the participating students to generate a wide range of design schemes.Also, faculty from the Department of Urban Horticulture & Design collaborated during theplanning phase. Two of the Architectural Engineering Technology students from the author’sprevious courses, Konstantinos Neofitos and Daniella Lima De Freitas Smyth, volunteered toparticipate in this research.ProcessPedagogical ApproachThe pedagogical strategy for this pilot project

the beams. Despite this,prompting the students to think about shear failure in this context improved their understandingof this topic. It should also be noted that a few students commented in the survey that theywished lecture had provided more guidance as to how to layout reinforcing prior to beamfabrication. While the request is understandable, the variety in reinforcing configurations alsoadded a creative component and a wider sample of results. This would not be the case iflectures had a more prescriptive approach to reinforcement for the lab. The individuals thatrequested this may have brought down the score for lecture preparedness slightly, but the overallscore was still strong and there are no plans to modify this approach in future

The main objective of this study was to explore students’ perceptions toward thecamp and use their feedback and preferences in subsequence camps. The students’ perceptions are animportant input for the construction educator to plan accordingly and increase the quality of academicpreparation and the quantity of student enrollments. The survey aimed to consider factors that impactstudents’ perceptions before entering construction programs. Students expressed their expectation ofsalary and time on the job requirements. The reported numbers were close to the reality which eliminatesthe blind
it is a requirement for being hired to understand this technology and these programs. Oneadditional survey involved students exposed to this new technology. Students were asked to respondto a series of statements pertaining to the inclusion of BIM for the purpose of structural design as partof the intermediate design courses taught within the authors’ program. With the data from the resultsof these surveys, a plan can be formulated for the inclusion of these new technologies into theteachings of engineering students.For the survey sent to engineering programs, the 24 ABET accredited architectural engineeringprograms were contacted, as well as similar programs at other universities.
