natural and formal ordering systems are a good prelude to structural systemsand as such should be emphasized within the Level 1 studio.NCARB requires an introductory understanding of structural systems in Level II Design Studios,a general proficiency in the complete design of simple buildings in Level III and a generalproficiency in the total synthesis of complex buildings including structural systems in Level IV.Since these studios take place in the undergraduate architecture curriculum and in years two,three and four, respectively, it is logical that structures should be taught in years two and three ofthe undergraduate architecture curriculum. Once students understand the basics of statics andstrength of materials, the typical design studio

Utilizingthis technology not only has the potential to improve the process of design, but it canalso improve the process of collaboration. Substantial integration of energy anddaylight modeling, early in the design process, has the potential to redefine thedisciplinary relationships for both academic and professional praxis. By usingperformance modeling as a vehicle, multi-disciplinary teams of university students canmore effectively learn the process of integrated design and project delivery 1.Incorporating performance modeling throughout the design process requiresinvolvement from multiple professions across a project‟s lifecycle. For example, asarchitects employ energy

and the cost for the University. ‘Experimental Structural Dynamics Laboratory’provides students with the opportunity to experiment with physical models and real lifestructures at a minimal cost.This paper describes the development of a course proposal for the undergraduate seniorlevel/graduate level course “Experimental Structural Dynamics Laboratory”. The overallobjectives are (1) to reinforce dynamic structural analysis concepts relevant to engineers and (2)to visualize that those analytical concepts such as natural frequencies and mode shapes exist inreal structures and (3) to foster student learning through hands-on experimentation. The basicnotion that sets this laboratory apart from most existing laboratories is that the laboratory can

As of July 1, 2010magnetic ballasts most commonly used for the operation of T12 lamps will no longer beproduced for commercial and industrial applications. Also, many T12 lamps will be phased outof production starting July 2012.Due to the phase-out of the fluorescent bulb T12 and magnetic ballasts combined withcompanies’ need to find new ways to cut costs, many are reviewing their current lightingarrangements in search of easily replaceable and money-saving opportunities. Fortunately, moreadvanced lighting technologies become commercially available

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].

acombination of both. Architects present all of the work done during this phase to the client andonce the design concept has been finalized and approved, architects proceed to complete designdevelopment and construction documents for the project. Traditionally hand drawings were theprimary means for “design ideation” [1] and for the creation of construction drawings. Whilehand drawings and sketching are still considered very important for conveying design ideas, withthe advent of computer-aided design (CAD) tools in the late 1980s the focus shifted away fromhand drawing to the use of CAD for two-dimensional (2D) drawing. Now a days it is impossibleto conceive of an architectural practice where CAD tools are not used right from initial

of Habitat projects.IntroductionHabitat for Humanity, often referred to as Habitat, is an international non-profit organization thatbuilds and repairs housing for low income families by utilizing the labor of volunteers andpartner families, donated materials and professional labor, efficient building methods, modesthouse sizes, and no-profit loans. Founded in Americus Georgia, Habitat has more than 1,400affiliates in the United States and around the world. The organization has built over 800,000homes and shelters. According to Habitat, the “houses are simple, decent and affordable to low-income families around the world, and, whenever possible, build sustainable, energy-efficientand healthy housing” [1].As part of community outreach efforts

adoption of BIM by large healthcare systems will create a need for uniquely trainedindividuals. Healthcare facility BIM management is an area that could attract more females andminorities to this STEM oriented field.Figure 1. Identification of the training gap and opportunities for AEC graduates in the next 10 years.The paradigm shift that is presently taking place calls for specialized staff trained in both thearchitectural arts and computer sciences. Interior design, architecture and engineering educationshould be preparing a workforce for BIM technology in the healthcare sector. Talented andtechnically trained AEC designers will shape the visual 3D world using new tools that will helpthem to leverage the data found within the model. As part of

and then students were tasked with further refining and re-designingtheir safe shelters. The students were given three additional weeks to refine and complete afinalized plan and professional scaled model. At project close, the students presented theirproposed designs for the safe shelter project to the professor and the community partner. Thecommunity partner offered valuable insight as to the most appropriate solution, and offeredsuggestions for further refinement before the project could be constructed. At the semester’send, the community partner chose which design best embodied the design intent, and onestudent’s design was chosen, see Figure 1. This design was the springboard to further explorationand study. Figure 1
