For example,the newest omni-directional lamps such as the Osram Sylvania product shown in Figure 1 is Page 24.13.2appropriate as a traditional A-lamp retrofit by distributing light in a similar 360 pattern andproviding dimming capability. Earlier A-lamp replacement models such as the example in Figure2 distribute light from the upper portion of the bulb and are not dimmable.Figure 1 – Omni-directional LED lamp1 Figure 2 – LED A-lamp replacement1Other qualities continuously developed in LED A-lamp and

recognize well-daylit buildings 1. LEED (Leadership in Energy andEnvironmental Design) requirements acknowledge the advantages in daylight, but there is stilldisconnect between theory and practice of planning for natural light. As a result, designers areresorting more to simulation as a means of demonstrating compliance with various ratingsystems 2. Additionally, new technology in electric sources, like LEDs (light emitting diodes),require designers to understand the characteristics and energy savings potential and the trade-offsbetween natural and electric light.Literature ReviewDaylighting has always been an important issue in architecture and interior design, as it affectsmultiple areas throughout a built environment, including the functional

, and assemblies.[1] Working drawings are a vitalcomponent of the architect’s ability to communicate the design to the construction team. In theinitial phases of design, the owner often meets with the architect to discuss the intricacies of thedesign, and when the graphical representation is not completely conveying the design intent, thearchitect is able to verbally clarify and ‘paint a picture’ of the design for the client. However, thearchitect is typically not on the construction site every day to ‘paint a picture’ for theconstruction team. The architect does conduct and participate in construction phase start-upmeetings, site visits, phone and/or email inquiries, and request for information (RFI) documents,but verbal communication between

notions have been introduced to undergraduatestudents through an undergraduate design course. Two case studies from building engineeringare presented: thermal comfort and indoor air quality (sick building syndrome) taken fromundergraduate design courses. A flow chart is presented and discussed for both cases.We discuss the design program from students’ point of view, and the experience earned indesign, experimentation, and also in written and oral communication skills. Future plans toevaluate the effectiveness of the case studies in terms of learning outcomes, as well as plans toevaluate it in undergraduate architectural engineering training are also presented. 1. Introduction:Teaching a design course is challenging and differentiates from

, the skilled labor, resources and experience required for such experiments aredifficult to find. Yet without the experimentation in affordable home construction, anymeaningful sustainable development is unattainable. And without local designers’ involvement,the knowledge will be lost when foreign designers depart. Students at University of Rwanda aretrying to change this trend. 1 UoR hosts the nation’s only architecture department and the mostprominent engineering school. Determined to rebuild their country and wrestling with pressure todevelop, students re-define and re-justify their roles daily. Using my teaching experience at UoRin 2011 and GAC’s prototype housing construction with UoR students in 2013, I criticallyexamine our work to

alllearners or even some Nobel Prize winners in the same manner. Beeston noted the challengesthat Einstein overcame with his difficulty of the common mechanical, or rote learning of thetime.[1] The quote is a reminder that not all students learn equally and sometimes pedagogyshould adapt when students cannot.Many architects believe that mathematics interferes with design learning, while engineersunderstand and advocate its eloquence. The architectural academy cites dissatisfaction withstructures pedagogy through its detachment with the design process and its emphasis onmathematics.[2,3,4] Engineers commonly embrace mathematics in architecture.

professionals are expected to switch seamlesslybetween 2D and 3D representations at various points during project design and executiondepending on the situation. It logically follows that for students a vital part of their training islearning to work with 2D as well as 3D representations. In the Architectural Science (AS)program in the Architectural and Manufacturing Sciences (AMS) Department at WesternKentucky University (WKU) students are given a solid foundation in 2D visualization in theirfreshman year. In the freshman architectural drafting course AMS 163 students are introduced toorthographic and isometric projections using hand drafting tools as well as computer-aideddesign (CAD) software [1], while students are introduced to3D modelling the

an essay and submitting it as his own an unethicalact but still students do- but why? Lack of enforcement or lack of serious punishment? Whateverreasons are, cheating will not be minimized unless root cause can be found and addressed in aproper way in all intuitions rather than a single institution (Banik, 2010). To answer thesequestions, a detailed questionnaire was designed and developed based on PACES-1 survey forboth construction management and AEC students. For this article, AEC students included Page 24.978.2students of CM, CE, CET, Architecture and construction engineering.Different forms of plagiarism in higher educationBefore

The paper willalso examine and report on the purpose, types, interpretation, understanding and use of building codesapplied in the United States.We discuss the courses from students’ point of view, and the experience earned in design, codedevelopment, and also in written and oral communication skills.
