It can be due to widespread availability of materials through web and/or lack ofunderstanding the importance of ethics as a professional responsibility (Banik, 2010). There canbe many reasons for student cheats including due to the poor preparation of faculty for the classand/or can be inadequate academic preparation of students.

They do not fully understand theconcept of globalization; they may not have a firm grasp of the issues confronting the 21st-century engineer; they lack the competencies that would enable them to rise to leadershippositions within government and industry; and they are not developing curricula that would trainengineers to anticipate and focus on the rapid changes by which the 21st century will be at leastpartially defined (NAE

personal ‘dream home’focused them on expressing their individual desires of prestige and success which was oftenmanifested in the design of an ostentatious home with no regard for engaging the community inwhich they placed the home. Samuel Mockbee was quoted from a conference held at PrincetonUniversity to say, “The practice of architecture… also requires active civic engagement. It is inour own self-interest to assert our ethical values and our talents as citizen architects.” [5] Theproject in its current state was clearly disengaging students from reality, culture, and the truerichness of designing to exist and engage within a project’s community. The students needed tobe taught the ethical values and influence they can have on the human

Jones has argued that architecture students must be educated in the appreciation of avast array of accomplished “ends”, as well as in “the imaginative construction of ends yet to be”.Jones goes on to argue that the undergraduate study of architecture must “establish a balancebetween the appreciation of the socio-cultural process of expressing ‘ends in view’ and thetechniques of

A student can learn important lessons from researching,writing, and presenting a paper on a significant collapse, especially the resulting changes indesign methods and codes. Famous bridge disasters include the Quebec, Tay, and TacomaNarrows bridges. More recent examples of building failures worth investigation are the Kemperand Hartford Civic center roof collapses. The Hyatt Kansas City walkway collapse is a greatlesson in engineering ethics, as well as detail design, fabrication and construction.

While not the only firm to explore them, SmithGroupJJRhas organized these new best practices into five distinct trends that encourage active participa-tion, collaboration, and even spontaneity, reflecting an underlying ethic of student engagementfrom the freshman level up.

curriculum should include the use of building simulation and the idea of energyand comfort performance as an important driver for the design process. This will support studentdesign decisions based upon the affect on a building’s lighting, heating, cooling performance,and the comfort of future occupants. In this setting, for example, the glazing of a façadebecomes less about referential stylistic applications and more about whether the window patternprovides the defined daylight illumination levels while avoiding thermal penalties. Aestheticsmust play a central role in creating vitality between people and the built environment, but in theproposed curriculum it will be founded upon an ethic that design must also be grounded inphysics and energy
