the formal.Architectural form was a function of a resolution of forces acting upon it. August Choisy and Guadetof the Ecole de Beaux Arts in Paris had laid the foundation of this attitude. While Lutyens and hisdisciples paid lip- service to Indian motifs, a thorough grounding in the art and craft of constructionwas always held to be a prerequisite for architectural training. This was reflected in the fact that theBombay school had a strong technical component and all the schools that followed it, such as theBengal Engineering College at Calcutta, Baroda's Kalabhavan (House of Art), Delhi's Polytechnic,were primarily technical/engineering institutions with a department of architecture.

entire program. ConclusionsAn attempt has been made to identify the desirable characteristics of “good” teamplayers. Some of these results may have been correctly anticipated. For example, older,more academically successful students with hands-on and work experience seemed to bebetter candidates for “good” team players. On the other hand, the fact that women andthe representatives of the “majority cultures” seemed to do better may not be so obvious.The fact that high analytical and low verbal SAT scores seemed to indicate “poor” teamplayers, may simply be a reflection of the fact that a large fraction of them were Asians,who usually do well in mathematics but tend to have (English) language

The correctanswer can be discussed and the students gain valuable feedback, essentially in real- time. Theinstructor can also save the data gathered during a CPS session for further study and analyses. Italso can help the instructor identify and improve the content of topics that are difficult.

Such statistics would be the ever moreenhanced if collected over the course of several semesters of teaching.In conclusion thus, the author’s first experiment with PBL in an engineering Dynamics classproved helpful although certainly not perfect. It appears that more preparation and carefulplanning for such experiments is an absolute must. Qualitative evidence pointed to the benefit ofsuch an experiment to student learning as reflected by student feedback and general studententhusiasm about the assigned design project. References 1.

These components can either degrade the energyefficiency of the building or enhance its performance and increase occupant comfort.Many new energy-saving components are coming to market. These products do doubleduty, performing their primary jobs while also saving energy. Roof shingles, for example,may be coated with heat-reflective materials that send the sun's heat away from thebuilding, rather than being absorbed and can even generate electricity for the building.Compact fluorescent lights use less energy and put less heat into the building, andadvances in HVAC technology mean more comfortable spaces that use less energy.The benefits from these components will not be realized

Morespecifically, there is rare research about newly hired engineers' proactivity in the aerospace &defense (A&D) industry. A&D organizations employ engineering graduates from multipleengineering majors and offer a wide variety of positions [20]. In particular, A&Dorganizations recruit electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, computer-related engineers,along with recruiting graduates with explicit aerospace engineering degrees. Therefore,organizations in the A&D industry reflect the features that many organizations may haveacross different engineering disciplines. Hence, to address the above-mentioned gaps

Performance accomplishments or “mastery of experiences” are believed to be amajor source of self-efficacy beliefs. They are past direct experiences that demonstrate to aperson that they are able to successfully perform a future task (i.e., if you have done it before andperformed well, you can do it again). High self-efficacy evolves from success in pastexperiences and low self-efficacy from failures at activities within the given domain. Vicariousexperiences are observations of others successfully completing a task (i.e., if they can do it, socan I).

In this respect, the pandemic was an unanticipated learning opportunity for students tolearn how to improvise, innovate, and adapt over the course of their design experience.A limited number of studies have examined how the capstone design experience changed duringthe pandemic.

Our research goals were to identify how designers consideredpeople and whether their process changed with the request to explicitly include drawings ofpeople within sketches. The conceptual sketches and associated “think-aloud” transcripts werethen analyzed to determine the impact of the representational prompt on engineers’ thoughtprocesses and design outcomes. With a simple intervention to represent people within sketches,we found several positive effects on how engineers considered people during design.BackgroundHuman-centered design (HCD) has been an important approach in engineering since the 1980s.This framework is commonly used in design when solutions to problems are

Hands-on learning also proves to be challenging, such as medical studentsreporting that “online classes proved to be an excellent opportunity for theoretical subjects likebasic sciences but not suitable for clinical subjects like clinical skills” [4]. These challenges areall reflected in engineering design education, where social group dynamic is vital for projectsuccess, and the hands-on component cannot be conveyed as effectively online.Many of the concerns around the impact of online learning on students and the effectiveness ofcontent delivery for engineering design education can be addressed with

This line of work suggests that part of why learner-centered instruction is effective is thatstudents increase in their engagement and see more opportunities to learn, such as from feedbackand from peers.

Second, it allowed the professor the opportunity to understand which students required moreindividual support and design coaching in the classroom. Those that were independently problem solvingand constructing could be left to their own devices. Those that were stuck were offered more guidance andprompting to help move the activity along. If the activity were done in teams, those that struggled to getstarted might not get the opportunity to independently construct limited fidelity prototypes due to the natureof team dynamics and would miss this critical part of the design realization

resumes on file, especially from successful internsor contractors who could just as easily by-pass the online job advertising recruitment process. Also, it shouldbe noted that job description may not provide a complete reflection of the type of work an engineer does onthe job. The nature of the work conducted by engineers evolves as time and projects go on, meaning theactual activities of a practicing engineering may be very different from those that were written into the jobadvertisement. In addition, the rate of occurrence of activities within a job posting is unlikely to reflect theproportion of time spent on each activity by the engineer. While acknowledging these limitations, the researchteam does not claim that the findings of this paper
