. Page 12.880.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2007 Independent Student Design Competitions and the Assessment DilemmaAbstractOne of the most difficult assessment problems for faculty is student design competitions whereonly one or maybe two teams participate for independent study. Students are excited andfocused on the possibility of winning. The faculty is usually concerned with process andassessment in the context of a project and program not of their design. The issues are multipliedwhen you combine the problems of team assessment with a small sample pool of participants.This paper presents a case study in process and assessment for a single team of four independentstudy students that entered the 2005-2006 Airport Security

that alllighting calculation tools use two metrics to quantify light: illuminance, the amount of luminousflux per unit area, measured in lux or footcandles; and luminance, the intensity of light reflectedfrom a surface, measured in candelas 10. Most projects that are determining lighting needs useilluminance as a measurement, as it provides the amount of light that reaches a horizontal workplane. Measuring the amount of light from an electric or artificial source can often bestraightforward, as lighting calculation tools often quantify light at a specific given time.However, daylight provides many more challenges, as the quality and quantity of light canchange based upon the time of day, season, location, and weather.

as well as the aesthetic role of structure in building design with an emphasis onstructures as a system. For example, the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB)specifically identifies structural systems as one of four required “technology” criteria to be met,stating that “the graduating student should be able to apply their knowledge of each technicalsystem in the context of an architectural design project” [1]. In the context of structural design forbuildings, systems design is defined as “the application of the scientific method to selection andassembly of components or subsystems to form the optimum system to attain specified goals andobjectives while subject to given restraints and restrictions” [2].

In a national study that tracked the use of studentevaluations of faculty in 600 colleges between 1973 and 1993, the use of student evaluationincreased from 20% to 86% (Seldin, P. 1993). Student evaluation of faculty has become the mostprevalent mechanism to examine the quality and effectiveness of teaching (Lindenlaub, J andOreovics, F., 1982; Haskell, R. 1988).The philosophy behind the student evaluation of

Content Area Three: A single track 3-D generative computing track using both 2-D and 3-D operations in Grasshopper, culminating in a “design exploration project” assignment in which students were to use Rhino 3D and Grasshopper to generate three discrete alternatives using the Grasshopper “bake” operations.The sequence of the tracks used in this instructional strategy is illustrated in Figure 7

The School of Architecture was recentlyawarded a 14.8 million dollar grant for the expansion and renovation of our currentfacility. The two year schedule for construction of the building was preceded by severalyears of applying for the grant and working through conceptual and preliminary design.In using the project as an educational tool, many topics could be included such asarchitectural, structural and HVAC design; budgeting and construction issues, andmanagement of the project. Each of these topics, along with many others

A research study was conducted in SPSUConstruction Department to examine the teaching effectiveness. The spatial transferability of thefaculty evaluation mechanisms, without regard to spatial socio-cultural differences, is discussedin this study based on the collected data and following a thorough literature review. It was foundthat the ratings of a large percentage of construction students were positively influenced whentheir exam grades were inflated; the entire course material was not covered during the semester;a project was not assigned to the course; and students were allowed to arrive late as well asabsent from class from time to time

11.1303.2IntroductionThis paper is concerned with the use of material fabrications in the teaching of architecturaldesign. It identifies and describes three different methodologies which have been used, in thecontext of Masters level studios, to organize the conception and construction of architecturalprojects; most particularly, projects defined by the exigencies of their physical properties. Forwell over 60 years the design studio has been at the center of architectural education serving asan important venue for exploring the relationship of building to construction. And it is the goalof this paper to critically assess the educational merit of three distinct exercises conceived topromote a paradigm shift in accepted studio procedures. To this end, and by way of

While many programs have introducedenvironmental sustainability lecture courses into the curriculum, we have decided to makesustainability central to the mission of our upper level design classes. It is through problemsolving design projects that students best learn to research, understand, analyze, and apply theirknowledge of sustainable concepts. More than ever, leading design and construction firms arelooking for recent graduates that can help them create the environmentally sensitive buildings thepublic demands.This new focus on building better buildings has meant great potential

The U.S. Energy Information Administration reports that buildingsare responsible for approximately half of all greenhouse gas emissions and annually consumeover seventy percent of the domestically generated power1. Energy consumption has increased30% in the past 25 years, and current projections indicate another 35% increase over the next 25years primarily due to population growth and increased industrialization.“Sustainable development” is a direct response to these concerns

In order to provide depth to theresearch project, several methods were eventually adopted, in keeping with the triangulationmethod of research (e.g., Berg 5, Thyer 6) or multiple operationalism (Krippendorf 7). Oneexample of this technique used in the architectural field is noted by Dana Cuff 8 ( p. 6), who, inher research with architectural firms, used a variety of methods - case study, interviews,ethnography - to achieve what she terms “thick description”. The use of ethnographic techniques are not uncommon to architectural research (design),and Cuff’s work stands out amongst others that have been directed at
