The building was selected for several reasons: 1)the building is on-campus and is easily accessed by the students; 2) the structural plans for thebuilding were readily available to the students to aid in structural member properties and loadtakeoff calculations; 3) the original design engineers were available for consultation; and 4) thelateral resisting system (braced frames) was visible and obvious.

As the modern-day student becomes morepersonified with an obsession for the interactivity of computer games, it has become vital that theclassroom offer an engaging method of teaching and learning. Although the classicalarchitectural/construction engineering classroom is highly dependent on the instructor,developing students’ critical thinking skills become a challenging task for even the most inspirededucators. Nonetheless, these skills are a continual necessity for students’ plan to venture into thearchitectural/construction engineering professions.Haque1 is of the view that traditional lecture format teaching methods sometimes fall short ofconveying the complex analysis

The term has been defined bythe World Commission on Environment and Development2 as “Meeting the needs of the presentwithout compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” Sustainablebuildings, also referred to as “green construction”, require special techniques and materials toachieve the desired characteristics of functionality, indoor air quality, economy, safety, andaesthetics. Sustainability must be achieved over the entire life cycle of the building whichincludes: planning, design, construction, commissioning, operation, maintenance, renovation,and removal.

We still teach freshmen hand drawingnot because we think the skill of drafting is important but because we recognize the importanceof thinking through the process of plan, section, elevation, and axonometric without themediation of technology. Thinking with just a pencil in many ways is an extension of our fingersand hands and in this sense is completely transparent. McCleary’s example gives us a clear ideaof how technology mediates our experience and transforms the process so the parallels appliedseem clear to us in the design development process in architecture.

The comparisons are focused on several topics suchas palace architecture, houses, gardens, temples/churches, city planning of the Eastern and theWestern. The comparisons were between same types of buildings that were built during the sametime period. Since it is very hard to find a textbook, which covers all subject matters in thiscourse, writing a student manual becomes the first task.

The charrette tookplace over the course of six hours and provided at least one professional from eachdiscipline to work with each of the three student groups throughout the day. Theprofessionals played a key role in helping guide the student‟s communication with theother disciplines.

Students had theoption to develop the structure as an exterior system, an interior system, or any combination ofboth interior and exterior.Upon completion of the initial design task, students were required to submit representations oftheir proposals. These included rendered orthographic views of the top (plan), a side view(elevation), and a sliced view (section). Two 3-D renderings were also submitted. Allrepresentations were to include a light source, shadows, and generic materiality, and allrepresentations other than the top (plan) view required human-scaled

Why and how do “gender”and “education system” influence students’ learning in architecture design courses? Theobjective of this study is thus to identify the factors that influence students’ willingness tolearn in architectural design courses, with a particular focus on determining the significanceof any correlation between gender and education system.METHODOLOGY The aim of this paper is to discuss
