project manual detailing the code required loads and present theircalculations for the analysis and design of steel deck, composite and non-composite slabs, beams,light-weight steel joists, columns, bracing, and connections to meet steel specification criteria forstrength, stiffness, and stability. Students submit bi-weekly assignments that build upon one anotherto create the project manual and at the end of the semester create construction documents that includegeneral notes, typical steel details, framing plans, framing elevations, and enlarged details.In past semesters, students relied on a combination of hand calculations and the structural analysissoftware RISA to analyze and design the structural components of the building. However
effective problem-solving. This highlights the importance of design education in helpingstudents refine their planning and problem-solving skills. By incorporating mind mappinginto architectural education, students can improve their ability to recognize key elements ofa problem, generate solutions, and communicate their ideas more effectively. The process ofvisualizing solutions through mind maps not only supports cognitive development but alsoenhances the overall design process. Mind maps are a valuable tool in architecture education,enhancing learning by helping students organize complex ideas, link theory to practice, andintegrate creative and technical skills. They bridge the gap between studio and lecture-basedcourses, promoting a more
achieve net zeroembodied carbon in buildings by the year 2050. Their strategies include planning for a net zerobuilding sector, implementing more sustainable design, and sharing knowledge so everyone cancreate a more sustainable industry.With a growing concern about reducing carbon emissions, looking at buildings from a lifecycleor carbon footprint standpoint is essential. Measuring the carbon footprint will allow the industryto identify the most emission-intensive materials and systems, resulting in finding solutions toreduce emissions. To deliver net zero carbon emissions, engineers must reduce the embodiedcarbon implied by designs and identify means for offsetting the balance of carbon impactsthrough operational carbon content.
