Extensive pre and post surveys were administered to the students toevaluate the course‟s effectiveness in using building performance simulation to teachhigh performance and integrated design. Insight was gained on how to introducecomprehensive simulation tools into the design studio, how to integrate mechanicalengineering students more effectively into architectural courses, and how architects andengineers can work together around an energy model.2. IntroductionIn contemporary practice, two factors have a substantial impact on the way that wedesign buildings. The first, integrated design, is an old concept that has seen newpopularity in light of the need for deep energy savings in new and existing buildings. The second

of structural engineering, fresh graduates often producecomputational models of a building structure that bear little resemblance to reality.Unfortunately, the construction of a computational model is typically one of the first tasks ayoung engineer is asked to perform. An understanding of the phenomenon being modeled aswell as the limitations of the software is necessary to accurately model the behavior of abuilding. In order to address this issue, the authors are constructing a series of experimental andanalytical laboratory exercises which challenge the student‟s confidence in computer results.Last year, the authors presented a paper6 comparing student computational modeling before andafter a simple ambient vibration test7 to determine
√Risk Management Principles √Quantitative Risk and Modelling √Change in Staff ProfilesThe staff profiles have changed over the years. The original adjunct staff of the seventies weresourced from major construction companies and the subjects being offered reflected theirstrengths. A typical adjunct staff profile was that of middle to upper level manager in a majorlocal construction company, with about ten years or more of experience, some of which wasgained on iconic major projects. The “70’s” band of Table 3 reflects the use of this staff in thecourse and the consequent range of subjects offered. The work load was shared equally betweentenured and adjunct staff.The

This paper‟s discussion focuses on Thailand and a country that isprimarily Buddhist and naturally the lessons about teaching become tempered with Buddhistphilosophy and practices. It is extremely interesting to North Americans to watch this interplayof Buddhist culture within architectural and design education. If one explores these articles thatcouch this education within design, the number of articles that compare the practices of teachingto North American practices of teaching is lean and, in an architectural context, the literaturetypically strays to a focus upon how Buddhist principles affect construction or design
and construction industry.

In addition to the these formal relations, students had to treat thelarger network of local residents, businesses and institutions as part of their user group(s),if not their actual client(s).The Berg: Coursework and CurriculumThe authors set up two related courses: a six-unit section of the Comprehensive DesignStudio, open to fourth-year undergraduates in SU’s professional program, and a three-credit hour professional elective, open to students in architecture and engineering.Students enrolled in these two courses were joined by a student in Industrial Design fromthe school of Visual and Performing Arts and the aforementioned pair of

The goal was to circle the one correct object that would bemade by folding the flat plate with no overlaps and no concealed sections of the plate foldedinside. The pre-test question was not duplicated in the post-test. This type of test was closest toone of the sections of probably the most widely used spatial visualization tests - Project Talent.Project Talent was a test containing 4 spatial visualization sections that was given to 400,000people in high school in the 1950‘s. This group was then tracked from that point to recent years.The results showed that people with higher spatial visualization scores in high school were morelikely to enter Science, Technology

That notwithstanding, thefollowing course textbooks (not an exhausted list) can serve as a way forward: 1

their own work experience, if they have any, that is related to acourse topic.Architecture and engineering professors who have worked as architects/engineers prior to orwhile teaching have an advantage. They bring a wealth of real-world knowledge to theclassroom that they share through relating personal experiences related to each course topic andconcept. This is the same for other licensed professionals who become professors, such asdoctors, dentists and lawyers. They share their professional experience with their students as apedagogical tool. Students enter these professional programs expecting to learn from professorswho have real world experience in their area(s) of expertise. However, many engineering facultyhave not worked outside of
