investigated offered anundergraduate- or graduate-level course(s) in timber design, although the frequency of teachingis often not clear. The analysis of available undergraduate-level coursework suggests thatstructural engineering programs do not prioritize the instruction of timber-related courses,resulting in limited timber design education. These results provide clarity on the need foradditional curriculum to ensure graduating structural engineers are prepared to work with masstimber elements. Additionally, the available course inventory and interview results suggest thatincreased prioritization of timber courses and resources is needed to support a growth ininstruction of mass timber within the structural engineering discipline.IntroductionAmong

This shift precipitated the transition away from the more linear approach taken by 5Dick and Carey [3] to the circular design utilized by Morrison et al. [4], resulting in a Seminarthat places a greater emphasis on the continually iterative nature of instructional designcombined with the importance of continual assessment of instructional effectiveness

recognized that one of the primary reasons students are unable to transfer theirknowledge into new problem-solving situations is because they perceive new information as theend goal, as opposed to a tool that can be used to solve other problems. As an example, theauthors mention how astronomers in the early 1600’s frequently dealt with tedious computationsinvolving big numbers. When the mathematical concept of logarithms was invented, theyrecognized the concept as a tool that could be used to make the problems they were solvingmuch more manageable. On the other hand, when students in the modern era are introduced tologarithms, they tend to think of them as a problem instead of a tool. They cannot appreciatethem the way the 17th century astronomers
