building and to deliver human comfort, reflected a further schismbetween the professions and reached an apex in the years after World War II. According to Dr.Joseph Lstiburek, “During the post-war building boom, the emphasis on educating architectsshifted to aesthetics and design theory relating to aesthetics and away from the fundamentalaspects of construction and understanding of materials, assemblies, building systems, andsubsystems2.” The division of labor is a logical outgrowth of the increased knowledge needed to masterthe expanding profession. For instance, it would be quite a challenge to learn all the newcomplex structural technologies and theories concurrently with a full architectural education.This could again be said of the

The quality of the design product assists in the assessment, but does notnecessarily reflect the quality of the team. Team performance is as dependent on groupdynamics, human behavior, leadership, cooperation, shared work effort and organizationas it is on the knowledge and performance of individuals.This paper focuses on the selection and assessment of teams in this course. Variouspersonality and skills assessments were considered in the formations of teams and theThinking Style Self Preference Test was ultimately chosen. Peer ratings and course

The Lagos research by Harvard team teaches us that the distance itselfneeds to be critically examined. The purpose is not to eliminate it. Rather, distance anddifference between home and field should be used as a tool to create work rooted in connectivitybetween the two. This is where

She has taught computer-based architectural design [2002-2003] at Universities in Austria, Germany and the Netherlands and started a doctoral research at TU Delft [2004]. Her research focuses not only on analysis and critical assessment of digital technologies in architecture, but also reflects evaluation and classification of digitally-driven architectures through procedural- and object-oriented studies.

Understanding what factorsinfluence choices of engineering disciplines has the potential for altering education toaccommodate a more diverse student body that can be successful in engineering.

Problem resolution in a step bystep approach leading to creative development of the project outcomes leads directly into criticalthinking processes. Outcomes are based and assessed on the participation, creation, reflection,resolution and acceptance by a client. Orientation and transition of students into their careers canbe dependent on the processes undertaken in problem based learning and is relevant to the PeggyCrosby Center Project.

industrypartners and student site visits were very helpful in delivering the course concepts to thestudents. It was important not to repeat material covered in the prerequisites but to build on theprerequisites as a means of determining best option based on economy, easy of construction andenvironmental issues.As engineering educators, faculty should not be afraid to introduce new courses or modify theexisting courses to reflect the ever changing technology and society needs.Bibliography 1.

Emphasizing the importance of reflection in promoting more broadintellectual development, Van Gyn [10] proposed that "if co-op is only a vehicle for experienceto gain information about the workplace and to link technical knowledge with workplaceapplication, then its effectiveness is not fully developed." To this end, the course was alsointended to draw on the international and cultural experiences associated with the class activitiesto enhance student’s intellectual development in terms of their understanding of architecture andthe global and historical context in

The approach to identifying diversity-defining characteristics is intended to revealkey indicators inherent to primary form responses. These indicators, in part, grow out of basicarchitectural determinants of form and may be simplified into the following taxonomy of threegroupings of factors: external (PLACE), internal (PEOPLE) and the in-between(ARCHITECTURE) indicators. External indicators present opportunities for integration ofcultural and contextual diversity.
