Dyynamics LaboratoryyIn 1965, a class of un ndergraduatee students3 laaunched a prroject to utiliize the roughh terrainsurroundding their loccal campus. Their T solutioon was to spaan a ravine with w a bridgee-like structuure(Figure 1) 1 similar to that of Miess Van Der Roohe’s Glass House. Oveer the years, the buildingg hasmostly beeen forgotten n and has faallen into a sttate of disreppair. Fortunnately, in 20111 another teeam 8of studennts took on thet task of reevitalizing thhe building anda has creaated a living structuraldynamicss laboratory.. The relatively small buuilding has a clearly visibble

(rolled, tubes,trusses), timber (sawn, engineered, glue-laminated, trusses), concrete masonry units (reinforced,grouted, ungrouted), wood sheathing (plywood, oriented strand board), light gauge metal deck,etc.This paper reports on how this elective upper level design course is taught in a laboratory format.The course incorporates all the above materials (concrete, masonry, timber, steel). The studentsprepare complete construction documents including all construction details and specifications.IntroductionThe main mission of architectural engineering or civil engineering programs is, but not limitedto, prepare the graduates to: pursue post-graduate education, communicate effectively, becomelicensed professional engineers and pursue lifelong

Page 23.800.2 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 Interdisciplinary Design – Forming and Evaluating TeamsAbstractThe College of Architecture and Environmental Design at California Polytechnic StateUniversity has offered an upper division, interdisciplinary experience for every student inthe form of a project based, team oriented five unit studio laboratory. The course is nowin its fifth year and requires small teams of architecture, engineering and constructionstudents to complete the schematic level design of an actual building for a real client. Thequality of the projects and student deliverables has been outstanding and students areclearly meeting the objective to prepare an integrated

each construction type wasclearly communicated by visual observation. Effect of adding beams, columns, or different wallconfiguration of the structure was easy to demonstrate14, 15.Figure 10: Building Models (a) Unreinforced Masonry (b) Confined Masonry and (c)Failure of Unreinforced Masonry Construction DemonstrationInstruction MethodThe course was taught in a laboratory format. The class was scheduled to meet three days aweek for three hours. Most of this time was spent by the students in the fabrication laboratories.Face to face meetings with faculty occurred at least for one hour per week of as needed by thestudent. As is the case with most senior projects and capstone courses, the subject matter isinitiated by the student and the role of
