, a gap has been created between these branches of constructionto the point that their teaching approaches are different, thus forming a deficiency ofunderstanding between them and complex working environments in professional life.This study seeks to understand the cultural differences between civil engineering andarchitecture students, based on Hofstede's theory of cultural dimensions. Fivedimensions are evaluated: Individuality, Power distance, Uncertainty avoidance,Masculinity, and Long-term orientation. Data were collected from four groups: civilengineering students pre-pandemic and post-pandemic and architecture students’ pre-pandemic and post-pandemic to determine if the new teaching methods associated withthe COVID 2019 pandemic, may

After the experiment has been completed, the instructors can increase students’ appreciation for thephenomenon by pointing out that the physics of this exercise applies to subsequent coursework (AE 310:Fundamental of HVAC) that is taken by every 3rd year student. Key talking points for inclusion with thisdiscussion are: • ASHRAE weather data published for dehumidification uses dew point as its marker. • ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2019 Paragraph 5.10 sets a limit to the maximum indoor air dew point of a mechanically cooled building to 60°F. • Building enclosures as a barrier to vapor flow is critically

The name of our model is Tec21 and has proven to be very successful inattracting students to all the programs. The model also includes the design of new learningspaces and the use of the latest technologies in the learning rooms [1-6].

acoustics, or building lighting and electrical systems. The first threeyears of the accredited 4+1 track are common to all students in the program, covering coreengineering courses and introductory courses related to each specialization option. In the fourthyear of the program, students begin coursework related to their selected specialization. In thefifth-year master’s program, students complete graduate coursework related to theirspecialization and must complete an interdisciplinary capstone team design project. Studentteams, advised by industry and faculty members, complete a building design in a simulatedprofessional practice and compete in a national student design competition. Prior to 2019, fifth-year master’s students were also required to
and teaching thecourse since they likely took a course with similar content in their academic preparation giventhat the content largely remains the same.The authors aim to extend this investigation and attempt to correlate the findings of the facultysurvey with what the construction industry considers as “static” and “dynamic” courses, andevaluate what industry professionals perceive as topics that need constant update, and whattopics require the teaching of the fundamentals alone. The results can be used to evaluate thestatic/dynamic nature of an academic program as a whole.References1. Hartman, J.C.
