of this paper is to present a set of hands-on modules that utilizes mathematical andgeometric modeling as educational activities in a facade design course. The proposed modulescan be utilized in various courses such as facade design, capstone design/ thesis, or independentstudy in architecture and/or interior design undergraduate or graduate programs. 3The proposed design modulesThe process of pattern modeling and design of pattern-based responsive facades can beconsidered a valuable learning experience in an interdisciplinary process that includes research,design, simulation, performance evaluation, optimization, testing, and documentation.The proposed hands-on modules have been designed to

Content includes basic statistics, linear and non-linear curve fitting, clustering, natural language processing, neural networks, databases, Structured Query Language (SQL), and data cleaning and management.● ENGR 195E. As a capstone project course, students apply computing skills acquired in the minor to solving problems or generating insights in their chosen area of study. Students work in self-selected teams and define their own project topics.Student ProfileA demographic profile of students enrolled in ENGR 120 (the first course in the minor) andENGR 195E

While at Cal Poly Pomona, she taught the first year engineering course, mentored student capstone re- search projects, and introduced nanoHUB simulation tools into the undergraduate curriculum in materials science and engineering and electrical engineering courses. Much of her work has focused on introducing STEM concepts to broad audiences and encouraging students, including women and others in traditionally under-represented groups, to consider graduate school.

engineering curriculum has long been recognized.However, students often do not complete a hands-on, comprehensive design project until theirsenior year capstone design course. While this is obviously a very valuable and appropriatelearning experience, students benefit from and desire earlier and more frequent real-world designexperiences12. One reason design experiences are often delayed is that students do not have thetechnical breadth early in their academic careers necessary to complete a comprehensive designproject. While students in the first-year course, Fundamentals of ECE, do not have the breadthand depth to successfully carry out a completely open-ended design project with a level ofsophistication expected from senior students, they do have

To facilitate adoption by other institutions, flexibility is a key objective of theintended guidelines. Since the appropriateness of using the name engineering in the context of aminor is subject to debate, the specific name of minor should be part of that flexibility. Thesedegrees do not focus on teaching specific engineering technical content but on teaching studentshow to think like an engineer.
