Architectural theory course provided the students with a comprehensive survey of modern and post-moderntheory readings, as well as perspectives on the design process. The course text used was Classic Readings inArchitecture / Jay M. Stein, Kent F. Spreckelmeyer [editors] (1999).[6] The use of social surveillance and uncertainty to produce social control is discussed in Max Weber’s classicwork in social theory titled, Protestant ethic and the spirit of capitalism (1958).[7] The World Trade Center (WTC) Design Competition is an example of a professional competition that used anacademic architectural design studio process model.[8] A budgetary outline is typically not given for academic or design competitions unless the project has a strong

taught in lecture and professionalskills such as communication, interdisciplinary teamwork, creative, open-ended problem solving,and ethical evaluation. These latter skills are difficult, if not impossible, to impart by lecture;rather, they require an active learning approach in which the student develops the required habitsin the context of engineering practice. Page 12.1076.9 Practical design, product development, and project management skills require a synthesisof knowledge from engineering, business, and humanistic disciplines. Too often, research-basedacademic settings do not integrate these practices effectively to

affected by this as many states will certainly adopt the model law into their own professional licensure requirements. Up to this point, AE programs have provided little input or participation in this effort.• The civil engineers have published a body of knowledge (BOK)21 that lists the skills and attitudes that civil engineers are expected to attain. These include additional skills beyond those required by ABET, such as leadership, project management, business policy and ethics. The new ABET civil engineering program criteria22 have been approved by the Engineering Accreditation Commission and will probably go into effect after the one year review period. The AE program criteria will likely be affected by these

structurallyrational and economically prudent actually establishes the “correctness” and the “ethics”of building10. Khan argued that well detailed and efficient structures posses the natural elegance of slenderness and reason, and have possibly a higher value than the whims of a-priori aesthetics imposed by architects who do not know how to work closely with engineers, and who do not have an inner feeling for natural structural forms.11.What Links the Three Forms TogetherThe linkage between these three forms can be summarized as increasing constraints Page 12.693.5imposed on the designer, as one moves from sculptural form, through
