And based on both student andalumni feedback, the models played a significant role in their learning process.It is the hope of the author that using models helps students better understand structures andbetter understand the role of the architectural engineer. There is no scientific method to proclaimthis is the answer for training young architectural engineering minds about structures andbuilding technology, but in all of the courses the students become engaged when they work withtheir hands and minds in a creative environment. And personally, this is the first hurdle tolearning. If these classes were taught in a pure lecture setting, topics such as tolerances andconcrete finishes could be

One key conclusion ofthe work by ASCE (relating to the ASCE policy 465) is that the engineer of the futurewill need formal education beyond the Bachelor’s degree. NCEES in essence agreed withthis position when they incorporated this requirement into their model law for licensure,which will go into effect in 20155.A related document by NAE discusses the challenge of teaching the engineer of 20204.Other reports have raised concerns about science and technology education in the UnitedStates in general.
