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

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

the combination of the two are long-establishedmodes of pedagogy and design research in schools of architecture. Among the mostsignificant programs that have tested and refined methodologies are Studio 804 atUniversity of Kansas 1, Urban Build at Tulane University2, Rural Studio at AuburnUniversity, 3 and the Jim Vlock First Year Building Project at the Yale School ofArchitecture.4Pedagogical advantages ascribed to design build and community engaged design byeducators include: professional preparedness; exposure to alternate modes of practice;exposure to the realities of construction tolerances and accuracies; synthesis ofknowledge learned in required courses;5 more refined knowledge of the materials andtools of design.6 Iwamoto and Scott

completion of this course, students should have the ability to: 1. Create preliminary vertical and lateral structural systems that are integrated with a comprehensive architectural design. a. Develop structural framing configurations based on Page 26.1407.5 conventional systems. b. Develop preliminary designs, integrated with studio projects, for vertical and lateral load resisting systems including preliminary sizes for slabs, beams, columns, walls and braces
