of different disciplines and motivations. Universities have recognized this needand have adapted their curriculum to place additional emphasis on teaching the skills necessaryto be an effective team member. Yet universities, constrained by their organizational structureand missions, cannot completely mimic the realities of the workplace business environment.Classes have a finite length and students quickly learn that any problem can be endured throughthe academic quarter instead of truly working out a sustainable solution. Teams composed ofmembers with similar expertise are often willing to cover for the weaker team member due to theshort team life which is usually measured in weeks. In teams with mixed expertise, gradesearned are often

international organizations worldwide (Anthony, 2002; Ministry ofEducation, 2010). It has also become the principle for national reformation and socialdevelopment in most countries. During the last few years, the learning requirements of adultlearners have increased in conjunction with the number of higher education organizations;university administrators began to value the function of extension education (Cowan andPinheiro-Torres, 2004). In 1991, fifty colleges and universities were operating in Taiwan. In2011, the number of colleges and universities was as high as 145, a three-fold growth rate. All145 colleges and universities have established extension education centers. Moreover, 19extension education institutions have an Architecture Department

integrated designs and collaborateeffectively with their structural engineering consultants and therefore lead more successfulprojects.The benefits of understanding structural principles apply to both ARCH and CM students.Architects typically take a lead role in building design and so an understanding of structuralprinciples can enhance their ability to produce design concepts that are coordinated with anefficient, well thought out structural system. Understanding structural concepts andnomenclature allows the architect to more effectively communicate with their structuralconsultants and better develop the structural system. In addition, the architect, as team leader
