AC 2012-3485: STRATEGIC PLANNING METHODOLOGY WITHIN AR-CHITECTURAL AND INTERIOR DESIGN TECHNOLOGY PROGRAMSDr. Cliff Goodwin, Indiana University Purdue University, Indianapolis Cliff is an associate professor of organizational leadership and former chairperson of Computer Infor- mation and Leadership Technology Department. Hehas been on the faculty of the Purdue School of Engineering and Technology at Indianapolis since 1979. His primary teaching emphasis is in the area of leader development. He has conducted research, authored articles, written three textbooks, and presented seminars on a wide variety of topics related to human behavior in organizations. In addition to his uni- versity work, Cliff has acted as a

extension education and implement variousprograms, they neglect to determine whether the program design and applied teaching methodmeets the needs of learners. They also neglect to notice whether the curriculum and facilities,teachers, and services meet the goal of extension education, and whether the professionalprograms are of excellent quality. Therefore, schools must understand whether the programplanning and teaching content meets the degree of perception and satisfaction of learners(Finn, 2002; Wang, 2008). Therefore, the appropriateness of the program planning andteaching content can be determined. These can be used as the reference for draftingdevelopment strategies in the future. The extension education of the universities differs

II, is a course entitled Structural Systems. This course isfor ARCH and CM students only. This is the course in which the focus shifts from elements tobuilding structural systems. Building on the skills learned in Structures I and Structures II,students develop the skills to analyze simple buildings composed of axial and bending members.They learn about structural stability, gravity and lateral loads, the development of framing plans,the behavior and comparison of structural building systems, framing schemes and buildingconfiguration related to vertical and lateral loads.Following the Structural Systems course, the ARCH and CM students take a Small ScaleStructures and then a Large Scale Structures course. While the Structural Systems course

. TheSuZhou Art Museum floor plan is shown in Figure 2 in Appendix. He built it on a symmetricalnorth-south axis, which is one of the design principles of Chinese architecture. It allows thebuilding to take advantage of the sun’s warmth and reflections (Figure 3 in Appendix). Thestructure is built to surprise the visitor when walking down the winding interior corridorsoffering tracery windows with a view of the central courtyards and gardens. Traditional gardenelements are prominent. There is the main garden, with eight small gardens. Every angle has agarden view. From the outside, the buildings reflect the traditional Suzhou private garden style; itis in harmony with its surrounding atmosphere. The five garden design elements are used in thedesign

architecture design learning and teaching. The results serve as a reference for planning architecture design courses in the architecture-related departments of universities and technical colleges. The above research raises two important questions: Which factors influence students’willingness to learn when enrolled in architectural design courses? Why and how do “gender”and “education system” influence students’ learning in architecture design courses? Theobjective of this study is thus to identify the factors that influence students’ willingness tolearn in architectural design courses, with a particular focus on determining the significanceof any correlation between gender and education system.METHODOLOGY The aim of this paper is to discuss

alter the preliminary volumetric designthat is given to them, but they are encouraged to spend minimal time on that aspect of theproject. They must adhere to the free span lengths given in the project brief. They are alsoencouraged to take on one additional design constraint such as a green roof or a glassfaçade to enliven the design. They must chose an appropriate structural system andpropose a framing plan. The project statement requires them to calculate the member sizefor a small but representative number of the structural elements, typically two shorter Page 25.270.3spanning elements (beam, slab, folded plate, etc), one longer spanning element

Menai Suspension Bridge, Anglesey, North Wales, 19251757–1834Other building types to study with respect to emerging architectural and structural planningdesign challenges include framed structures. Two influential contributions to the use of iron as aframing system for architecture are the Bibliothèque Ste.-Genevieve in Paris (1850), and theCrystal Palace in London (1851).5 The pioneering design and construction features of theCrystal Palace are well documented, providing students with plentiful material to study thisground-breaking structure.

each day with a 40 minute lecture and then skill/activity workbook assignments andquizzes. The TEVALS and feedback for the course was excellent. But recurring themes to thestudent comments were noted. “I find it easier to ask the students sitting next to me in the classroom for assistance and guidance because they are doing the exact same steps I am.” “It would be nice to be able to do these assignments on my personal PC instead of having to come to campus.” “I wish this course was offered online so I could start my internship sooner and work on this course in the evenings and weekends.”The department and faculty planned for a subsequent offering as an elective during theuniversity’s intercessions each year
