system design to actual loads.Section 1.3 Using Building Performance Simulation for Education and Praxis Integrating building performance simulation into the design curriculum affects twocrucial parameters. First, the use of building performance simulation provides a horizon uponwhich to ground the design of a building. Too often contemporary architecture students aretaught to exercise unbridled formal ambitions that lack grounding in engineering, costestimation, or constructability. While teaching design is a critical aspect of architecturaleducation, it must be balanced with an approach that grounds architecture within its broaderframework of collaboration. At the more advanced levels of engineering and architecturaleducation, the

We have already started this process, but need to increase the effort.CM Track LEED Opportunities: Research and explore options for working sustainability into the CM curriculum. We need to start this process very soon as sustainability has become an integral part of every industry but especially the design and construction industry.CurriculumWe have modified our existing AET Program track to create three tracks. The existing track hasbecome the GS track. The CM and AD tracks have clustered electives and created new coursesto deliver the necessary education for these more focused tracks. The decision of what track totake is made after the

,” and canon 6 holds that “engineers shall act in such a manneras to uphold and enhance the honor, integrity, and dignity of the engineering profession and shallact with zero tolerance for bribery, fraud, and corruption.” The CPC believed that an engineer’sobligation to serve his or her client faithfully and to be vigilant in eschewing fraud anddishonesty created a clear ethical obligation for the engineer in this case to report with strictaccuracy the time spent on his client’s project.The engineer claimed that he had initially questioned the order to falsify his time sheets but saidthat his supervisor had given what, at the time, appeared to be plausible explanations of why theoverbilling was neither dishonest nor unethical. The engineer said

book Constructing Complexity, William Mitchellreferenced to shift to digital design in architecture stating that “buildings were once materializeddrawings, but now, increasingly, they are materialized digital information – design with the helpof computer-aided design systems, fabricated by means of digitally controlled machinery, puttogether on-site with the assistance of digital layout and positioning devices, and generallyinseparable from flows of information through global computer networks.”[2]However, design exploration is an integral aspect of the design process in any discipline.Traditionally sketching has functioned as a primary conceptual design tool due to itsindeterminacy and ambiguity. Goel [3] suggested that the ambiguity in

His current research interests include engineering education, integration of CAD/CAE software in the engineering curriculum, building information mod- eling, spatial visualization, and reverse engineering. Professor Leake’s publications include two books, Engineering Design Graphics: Sketching, Modeling, and Visualization published by John Wiley and Sons in 2008, and Autodesk Inventor published by McGraw-Hill in 2004. Prior to coming to Illinois, Leake taught CAD and math courses at UAE University in the United Arab Emirates. He is a returned Peace Corps Volunteer, where he served in Tunisia from 1983 until 1986. Leake worked as a naval architect in the Pacific Northwest for 10 years. He is

This study provides quantitative results from a spatial reasoning ability test andqualitative results from student surveys given to four separate sections of freshmen – Graphics Itest and control groups and Materials and Methods of Construction I test and control groups in2010. The Materials and Methods of Construction I test group had built an advanced framingmodel (an energy-saving framing system) and the Graphics I test group had built a 3‖ cubemodel of solids and voids as part of their courses prior to the spatial test and survey. The controlgroup in each course prepared an axonometric drawing instead

In this paper, we exposed the summary of the methodology followed toteach high-rise plumbing.A case study has been developed to demonstrate the difference between plumbing designs in othercountries, such as China where the venting system is not required. We presented the results ofcomparison between the two codes.This design class has been positively accepted by the students, and has provided them with acomprehensive experience in both design and systems integration. Students are required to usemultiple codes and make the comparison between several designs and codes. Finally, it providesthe students an opportunity to improve their skills in both written and oral communication.References: 1) Alfred
