According to the student survey conducted after the event,90% of the participants felt that AE Design Days was a positive experience and wish to have asimilar event in future academic terms. The paper will discuss details of the AE Design Daysevent and its effects on the students through the analysis of the survey questions.1.0 IntroductionThe event had the following learning objectives: 1. providing an opportunity to build working relationships with classmates, faculty, and staff, 2. introducing the students to core course content in a practical situation before any of the theory is introduced in class, 3. allowing the

context of disciplinary diversity has never been as ripe.Key Words: deployable, transformability, architectural curriculum, learning by making.IntroductionIn 1832, the French socio-economic theorist Prosper Enfantin lamented that architecture as atheory of construction was an incomplete art because it lacked the notion of mobility andmovement [1]. Some modern-day foldable structures respond and adapt to changing needs andconditions. This has made them multifunctional and with enhanced performance. They includeretractable roofs, movable theaters, rapidly-deployable emergency shelters and kinetic facades,among others. Much remains to be discovered and understood in this field. While the need is clear,courses specifically dedicated to transformable

Before students begin work on these two aforementioned projects,students also work on a very small lake cabin drawing, which serve as an introduction in usingthe basic tools of the Revit Software, but was not considered for this research. The textbookutilized was an SDC Publication textbook entitled Residential Design Using Autodesk Revit [1](now, 2018). The first project makes use of an SDC publications textbook [1] where studentswork on constructing a single family residence comprising of a basement, first floor, and secondfloor. During the latter part of the semester, students are to design and construct their own singlefloor dwelling for a single

Almost all participants emphasized theplanets, stars, and other celestial bodies. When the word “light” was added to the keyword“cosmic,” it was clear that the light explosion (or shining outwards) became the dominant sketchelement. Consequently, the clear image of the light explosion was selected by the author as thedominant design feature and translated into the Stellar’s final image.Figure 2: Concept generation sketches from the author (Time-space warp)Upon concluding the final concept, prototyping stage started.

Characteristics of disastersAccording to emergency health training program for Africa [17], a disaster can be divided intothree phases: (1) the pre-disaster phase, (2) the disaster/impact phase, and (3) the post-disaster andreconstruction phase. However, each disaster may cause destruction of different intensity.Moreover, disasters, from their occurrence, development to extinction, vary from each other intheir characteristics.

There were a number of publicationsthat discussed BIM for use in educational purposes, however very few were discovered that pertainedto the use of BIM in structural engineering design education. One notable exception to this was apublication that looked at when BIM should be introduced to students in higher education. Resultsfrom that study indicated the inclusion of BIM into civil and architectural structural engineeringcourses gave students an advantage at better understanding the systems and the process of design anddocumentation [1].

Though the construction industry employs closeto 11 million people [2], it still faces a shortage of workers due to increased demand for newprojects and a reduced number of skilled workers [3]. Despite employing millions of workers, itremains a male-dominated industry, with women accounting for roughly 10.9% of workers inconstruction [2]. And in the case of construction managers, that number is even lower, at 8.4%[4]. Though economic and societal changes have helped to increase women’s participation in theworkforce
