The role of the overseer is to guide, which may include hard decisionsto keep the project on track, and the responsibility is to enforce deadlines and producedeliverables. Once buy-in was gained, more conventional project planning and performance wasemployed. The project planning was divided into traditional intermediate goal phases –conceptual (or schematic) design, design development, construction, and installation.

With so many on-lineuniversities, recruiting is becoming a game of who can best attract students with the bestand most versatile technology and innovations.The software being taught in this particular course as mentioned are Auto Desk Products,Auto Cad and Architectural Desktop. These are two software packages used widely in theArchitectural and Interior Design industries. They allow the user to create constructiondocuments in floor plan and elevation views, as well as 3D drawings, massing modelstudies, and to create schedules of all types.3.0 DevelopmentThese developments set the stage for finding the right course to develop

The use of digital media toconceive of design ideas and representation has increased tremendously and its success isattributed to speed, accuracy and resulting perfection [3].An important and integral part of the generation/ creation of a three-dimensional model is therendering process that the model undergoes. According to Schillaci, “to render is to represent”.Representation has always been used to communicate to the masses but in the present dayrendering has become a very important component of winning architectural commissions and asuccessful rendering should be able to catch the viewers’ attention amongst all the other images[4] .

They must adhere to the free span lengths given in the project brief. They are alsoencouraged to take on one additional design constraint such as a green roof or a glassfaçade to enliven the design. They must chose an appropriate structural system andpropose a framing plan. The project statement requires them to calculate the member sizefor a small but representative number of the structural elements, typically two shorter Page 25.270.3spanning elements (beam, slab, folded plate, etc), one longer spanning element

The rehearsal was beneficial for discovering thatmore pieces were needed, some of the concepts on paper did not work as planned, andpieces did not go together as easily as anticipated. Because a 100 pound block ofconcrete was being suspended, the students developed a safety plan to protect the publicwhile the structure was displayed.Figure 12 shows the final structure constructed and on display.

The surveytherefore is comprehensive in its population, although the sampling of that population isvoluntary rather than the ideal of a random selection. Because the response rate is high there is areasonable chance that this is close to a representative sample.When visiting the schools the faculty I interviewed were chosen by the department or programhead rather than me. The request to the visit coordinator was that they include those architecturalengineering faculty responsible for architectural engineering design, and also faculty offeringallied courses such as

Today’s students oftenfeel a need to incorporate sustainability issues into their lives, and they do so with admirablepassion. At our university, students are beginning to see sustainability as an over-archingacademic theme, not one assigned to a typical classroom slot. The university’s administratorsare even considering requiring a sustainability component as a requirement for graduation.Sustainability is often defined as meeting the needs of the present without compromising theability of future generations to meet their own needs. 3 The president of our university recentlypublicly signed an action plan committing our campus to sustainability and

The use of buildingrenovation as a project type offers some significant advantages over new construction. Thedesign process requires time to synthesize the program requirements into a physical shape for thebuilding. This planning process lends itself to the skills of the ARCH students leaving the ARCEand CM students not as fully engaged at the start of the quarter.

architectural engineering undergraduate research projects:1. The student should have a clear understanding of the goals of the project and a welldefined list of what constitutes a finished project. This clearly requires planning on the faculty member’s part. While this item mayseem obvious, it is easy to avoid actually writing down a list of attainments that wouldconstitute a finished project. Yet, articulating such a list is important for the facultymentor when designing the project, and of course the list is extremely useful to thestudent. For example, if the project is a finite element model of a historically significantstructure, a list may entail

The plan dimensionsof the frame are approximately 50” x 50” and the floor heights are 54” and 71” for the 1st and2nd floors, respectively. The columns are oriented such that there is a strong and a weak axisdirection. An advantage of the structure is that it is simple enough to be assessed by handcalculations. It can be analyzed by hand when simplified to a 2D system with 1 translationaldegree of freedom per floor and used to validate the computer output.Figure 10: Laboratory structure, Beam/Column Connection and Column Base ConnectionFigure 11: Laboratory structure, Computer model [ETABS4
