in career planning activities, with a focus onacademic pathways to prepare for STEM-oriented careers, implemented by the school counselingdepartment. We hypothesize that this intervention will help support students’ abilities to seethemselves as STEM people (i.e., identity) and support students’ future goals in STEM.The student cohort will be drawn from enrollees in a federally funded program called TalentSearch. Talent search programs have a primary goal of increasing post-secondary schoolattendance among economically disadvantaged students. Our plan is to provide a model forconnecting middle school STEM education and Talent Search program activities to raiseawareness, interest, and the pursuit of STEM Careers. It is expected that this

Studentswere tasked with completing a building design that was both functional and aestheticallypleasing. Students also had to develop a one word concept, which could be seen in alldimensions of the project.

Students received critique fromthe client regarding both positive and negative

Paper ID #23902How Structures Move: Three Projects in Deployable StructuresDr. Sudarshan Krishnan, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign Sudarshan Krishnan specializes in the area of lightweight structures. His current research focuses on the structural design and behavior of cable-strut systems and transformable structures. His accompanying in- terests include the study of elastic and geometric structural stability. He teaches courses on the planning, analysis and design of structural systems. He has also developed a new course on deployable structures and transformable architecture. As an architect and structural
interest is in the mechanical properties of glass at room and high temperature. Dr. Gonzalez has also a broad experience in the glass industry, specifically in fabrication of automotive safety glass. He worked for Vitro Glass Company for more than 19 years where he held different positions such as Process Engineer, Materials Planning and Logistics Manager, Production Superintendent, Manufacturing Engineer and Glass Technologist. During his time in the company, he co-authored two patents related to glass fabrication and glass coatings pro- cessing. Dr. Gonzalez is a Six-Sigma Black Belt and has participated in numerous process improvement projects. He has been trained as well in the Methodology of Inventive Problem

the beams. Despite this,prompting the students to think about shear failure in this context improved their understandingof this topic. It should also be noted that a few students commented in the survey that theywished lecture had provided more guidance as to how to layout reinforcing prior to beamfabrication. While the request is understandable, the variety in reinforcing configurations alsoadded a creative component and a wider sample of results. This would not be the case iflectures had a more prescriptive approach to reinforcement for the lab. The individuals thatrequested this may have brought down the score for lecture preparedness slightly, but the overallscore was still strong and there are no plans to modify this approach in future
other groups and instructors,and ultimately built four hunting cabins. The results of this paper were produced from the data gathered atthe end of this camp. The main objective of this study was to explore students’ perceptions toward thecamp and use their feedback and preferences in subsequence camps. The students’ perceptions are animportant input for the construction educator to plan accordingly and increase the quality of academicpreparation and the quantity of student enrollments. The survey aimed to consider factors that impactstudents’ perceptions before entering construction programs. Students expressed their expectation ofsalary and time on the job requirements. The reported numbers were close to the reality which eliminatesthe blind
