more knowledge than those whoare not engaged in their coursework. There are numerous pedagogical methods used to activelyengage students in their learning such as: projects in and out of the classroom, laboratory work,jigsaw learning, service learning, field trips, and research. Other methods of classroominstruction also engage students in learning by simpler more subtle means, such as: randomlyselecting students during a lecture to answer questions or give their opinion on a topic, student-produced journals, peer review, and through faculty sharing stories related to the course topicsfrom their own work experience. The goal of this paper is to examine the use of the latter. Doesteaching with the incorporation of course topic-related stories

The class was scheduled to meet three days aweek for three hours. Most of this time was spent by the students in the fabrication laboratories.Face to face meetings with faculty occurred at least for one hour per week of as needed by thestudent.

rendered with V-Ray and Twilight and for thestand-alone programs, Kerkythea and 3DS Max a view of the entire front and side of the buildingwas rendered. The stand-alone rendering programs were installed in the computer laboratories ofthe department and so the student decided to use them for the purpose of the study. V-Ray is avery popular rendering engine and used by professional firms while renderings completed usingTwilight can be easily exported into Kerkythea for further enhancement if needed hence theywere selected for the study. The student had previously experimented with Kerkythea but had notworked with the other three programs. Following the rendering, post-production work was doneon one of the rendered images in Photoshop to add

They alsoprovided expectations of the deliverables for conceptual structural submittals.Two projects were included in the Fall 2013 course. The first was a small building structure.Students selected one of four buildings, a school, library, natatorium and gymnasium. Because oftime constraints the scope of this project was limited to the roof framing.This was a warm-up for the second project, a multi-story building of steel or concreteconstruction.

members eventually lose strength. Therefore, according to the prescriptive based philosophy, structural materials must be protected against fire for the required time of fire resistance. Generally, prescriptive approaches are the result of regulation, insurance requirements, and industry practice or company procedures. The fire resistant based on prescriptive methods is not an ideal solution because these values are determined in a laboratory using a specific structural configuration with a specific size, shape, and specific loads. The time-temperature relationships in the ISO fire do not represent real fires.10) Provide interior finish schedule. Interior finish throughout must be Class A or B. (NFPA

It was used to study the lighting design of an existing historical building inSingapore and evaluated in its terms of being able to construct a reasonably accurate simulatedlighting environment of the Empress Place Building. Radiance software was developed by theLawrence Berkeley Laboratory and was chosen for the study based on its suitability andvalidation in predicting accurate illuminance levels with a high range of sky conditions, andability to handle complex geometry and complex lighting environments 8. The simulated resultsfrom the daylight simulation were compared with actual measured results on site. Conclusionsfrom the study indict that Radiance had the ability to produce a reasonably accurate

difficult challenge. A key questionhas been the size or number of units of the proposed course as the course had to fit into eachdepartment’s existing curriculum. Because the ABET accreditation criteria for engineeringprograms 1 requires that every student be able to function on multi-disciplinary teams, a largeenrollment default course was needed. A five unit studio laboratory during a single quarter wasultimately chosen for the new course. The change and approval process was easiest for ARCHbecause it fit within their existing curriculum structure, no curriculum changes or faculty votewere required. The CM department was already in the process of a major curriculum renovationwhich involved a transition to studio labs, so making this new course

A detailed questions need to be surveyed in thefuture to recognize the importance and also how to improve different aspects of this course.In parallel with the self-evaluation of each course by the instructor, we also conduct a course evaluationby students. This topic is a part of the HVAC laboratory course. The course objectives introduced earlierin the course are again provided to the students at the end of the semester. The students’ input on whetherthe materials offered have met the objectives is then complied and used in the program outcomeassessment process. Results of instructor course evaluations (conducted by students) are reviewed by theDepartment Chair and the Dean and shared with the faculty
