the course was offered twice (Fall 2012and Fall 2013) and was taken by forty-seven students.The specific design components that were added to the existing mechanics of solids course atPrinceton University were: (i) a process book (i.e., sketch book with an emphasis on the processof design), (ii) a design workshop, and (iii) a post-design workshop critique. These componentswere spread throughout the semester and integrated with the solid mechanics material to createan extended and open-ended design project. This project was largely focused on understandingand redesigning the Sabrina Footbridge (Worcester, England, 1992), a cable-stayed bridgeengineered by SKM Anthony Hunts (Figure 1). The Sabrina Footbridge was selected specificallybecause it

actuallyexplained the problem in detail. In reality most of the videos were extremely lengthy and goingfrom 5-15 minutes.Video Assignment 1:Create a youtube video not less than 1 minute and thirty seconds in length on one of thefollowing topics. • Solving a truss by joint method • Solving a truss by section method • Determine the centroid of a built-up section • Determine the moment of inertia of a built-up sectionThis work can be performed in groups up to 4 people. Upload the video link to the onlineclassroom site.In accordance with the Institutional Research Board, the students were asked to sign a waiver torelease images. All of the students agreed to release video images. Students submitted videosvia youtube.com or as .mp4 to a dropbox. The

experiments. These experiments not onlyimproved learning of the topics by applying the theory to realistic engineering systems1, theexperiments also served as a point of comparison for the computational models that manystudents cited as typically lacking and the reason they failed to take the necessary steps tocalibrate the models in previous assignments.In order to expose students to the challenges of accurate foundation modeling, students wereasked to determine the appropriate boundary conditions for following three structures:1) A campus structure with a braced frame lateral system founded on embedded concrete pillars.2) An off-campus podium slab structure with concrete columns founded on grade beams. Theslab supports an office building currently

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].

block south of the current facility • Renovation of the larger of the two current facilities being used by the agency, and creating a new outdoor space for the users.This project challenged the students in so many ways, but the most drastic of those challengeswas understanding a disease that is not recognizable to the mainstream population. According tothe most current data from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Sickle Cell affectsabout 1 out of every 500 Black/African Americans births and 1 out of every 36,000 HispanicAmerican births.The first two feasibility studies while dramatically increasing the useable square footagepotentially pushed the agency beyond their capital campaign capabilities.

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
