Modularized LecturesAbstract Traditional lecturing of building code related topics are commonly taught ad-hoc in courses,often get misinterpreted by faculty unfamiliar with code details, or left out entirely from courses. Toimprove dissemination of code knowledge in our department but also be applicable to two otherassociated departments, a project was undertaken to enhance mechanisms for faculty to better deliverbuilding code knowledge in academic settings. Here, self-contained teaching modules were developedthat can be incorporated within existing courses. Our code education enhancements take what has beentraditionally perceived as passively learned content with little appeal that minimizes studentengagement and immersion, to more active

Various engineering case studiesillustrate the advantages of document management in Bluebeam [6]. Beyond improved efficiencyand clarity of AEC team communication through PDF files, benefits include: ▪ Text/object recognition: search for and count specific text comments or graphics, can support material take-off calculations ▪ Custom toolbox

In 2018, the inaugural two-day design-buildproject called ‘AE Design Days’ was held wherein first-year students worked in groups todesign a piece, or set, of furniture that enhanced an assigned site in a UW Engineeringbuilding. The objectives of the project were to provide an ‘ice-breaking’ opportunity betweenstudents, as well as with the faculty; introduce the students to the AE program content,especially as it relates to the design process; provide opportunities for the students to workwith their hands building models; and, to allow for the course instructors to gauge the skillsetand prior knowledge of

With the pandemic and the stay-at-homeguidelines, construction site visits have a positive distraction factor from reality, becoming anelement that motivates the students to participate and divert themselves from the currentsituation, additionally to the academical benefits that the visits provides.We did a qualitative investigation by interviewing 121 undergraduate students
