staff from the construction industry advised that technology and management subjects alonewere not sufficient to prepare young engineers for a career in a construction industry that wasdealing with more complex projects that placed a higher level of risk on the contractor. Thesepoints were developed in a number of articles3,4,6,7,8,9,10,11 .The program ran successfully throughout the eighties, but by the early nineties was in need ofreview. The review was encouraged by a number of factors such as the bulk of the student bodybeing international students, the shortage of engineering skills available for major projects, theincreasing emphasis on sustainability in the Construction Industry and an increasing interest inthe subject of risk in the

In order to achieve a high level ofcoordination and collaboration, the course required the skill sets from more than one instructorand instructors with varied backgrounds.Fortunately, the college has professors who have changed careers and have developed a passionfor teaching and who bring their professional design skills into the classroom. In the buildingenvelopes class, the two professors have varying exposure to buildings, but the process in whichthey delivered projects was very similar. Additionally, both see the value in communicationamongst disciplines and the need for integrated practice in a classroom setting. The class hasbecome a vehicle to prepare

ofundergraduate research. The most significant factor motivating faculty to involveundergraduates in their research programs was the desire to influence the careers oftalented young students. This desire to work with and help aspiring undergraduatestudents is noble and altruistic. If junior faculty can mentor such projects with a resultingattainment, (for instance a refereed paper or conference proceeding), such research istruly a “win-win” situation. This paper will suggest methods of reaching this noble goal. One set of beneficial guidelines has been provided by Thompson et al. in theirvery interesting and highly structured approach for teaching undergraduate researchers to

Ingeneral, there appears to be a mismatch on both sides that it is not happening quickly enough(Hannon, 2003).ABET continues to work though these issues in order to better the curriculum, however, manyuniversities are still struggling of how best to meet industry’s needs while meeting the criteria ofABET. According to ASEE, employers like to have an engineer who will be able to do thefollowing in his/her career (ASEE, 2003):• An ability to apply their knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering to design, conductexperiments, and analyze data• An ability to perform on

The ARCE Department hastraditionally taught a sequence of five structural courses to ARCH students with the goal ofgiving them structural engineering skills so that in their careers as project leaders they will betterunderstand structural engineering systems and principles. With this ability they can betterproduce efficient integrated designs, collaborate effectively with their structural engineeringconsultants and lead more successful projects.Although the five course structural sequence has been comprehensive and has given theArchitecture students the skills needed to

His career was closely intertwined with the development ofiron as a building material during the industrial revolution. His arch and suspension bridgedesigns are clear examples of ways to use the new material. His iron bridges have flatter formsthan their masonry counterparts, primarily due his recognition of iron’s increased strength.Many important bridges from that era are still in use today, including several long span

2.1 Teaching Structures to ArchitectsThe teaching of structures is often viewed as marginal in the overall architecturecurriculum. The first author’s senior colleagues anecdotally report that they have seen thenumber, and level of complexity, of required structures courses decline over the course oftheir teaching careers. When surveyed on the first day of their first structures course, lessthan 30% of the architecture students of Syracuse University say they would take thecourse if it were not required. Our graduates will practice in a world of hyper-specialization and an ever more technologically complex environment. We must find anappropriate way to prepare them for both the status quo and the technical challenges yetto come. However, we

architectural and engineering students differ from general studies or liberalarts majors in that they have a more narrow focus for their career goals and associated learningobjectives. When we were students, we typically focused more on courses in the major becausewe knew that it would someday lead to a job, and so on. Assuming our instructors created awarm and inviting learning environment, how much more could they have done to motivate us inthe discipline?This paper takes Victory Vroom’s Expectancy Theory1 on motivation and applies it to a group ofundergraduate architectural engineering technology (AET) students to see what factors motivatethem to learn more and perform better today.
