Extensive pre and post surveys were administered to the students toevaluate the course‟s effectiveness in using building performance simulation to teachhigh performance and integrated design. Insight was gained on how to introducecomprehensive simulation tools into the design studio, how to integrate mechanicalengineering students more effectively into architectural courses, and how architects andengineers can work together around an energy model.2. IntroductionIn contemporary practice, two factors have a substantial impact on the way that wedesign buildings. The first, integrated design, is an old concept that has seen newpopularity in light of the need for deep energy savings in new and existing buildings. The second

Next, we present a framework of key concepts integral to publiccommunication so that engineers can reflect upon how these dimensions affect the wayscommunication with the public is carried out. The paper concludes with a discussion ofsignificance, intersecting issues, and future work.Overview of the Deficit ModelThe deficit model, a term originally coined by science studies scholar Brian Wynne,1 refers toapproaches to science and engineering (S&E) communication and outreach that are based on thebelief that publics are critical or skeptical of, and not interested in, S&E because they do

Within this context, we have set up an engineeringstation, where children and adults are invited to engage in engineering design-build activitieswith the understanding that participating in these activities also entails participation in theresearch study. The child(ren) and adult(s) attend to two different engineering challenges(“design a tower as tall as this plant out of foam blocks” and “design as tall a tower as you canusing the Dado Squares”), working on each task until the child is ready to be done, while video-recorders capture the family’s interactions (see Figure 1).

Because English units system is used in training the vast majority ofour engineers, technologists, and technicians, they are probably ill equipped for the global stagewhere the SI units system is the measurement language of trade and science. For instance, whencompanies from different countries work on the same technical project(s), the use of a commonunit of measure is necessary. Since the SI units system is international, this is often the preferredchoice. According to Euler [5], all new USA standards (ASTM, ANSI, SAE, IEEE, ASME, etc.)are now written in metric.

Our findings highlighted the need to develop activitiesthat cultivate students‟ judgement, facilitate peer feedback, promote learner independence,and reinforce development of their professional engineering identity.Our aim is to promote a learning focus as opposed to a task-focused disposition in students.A student‟s core identity may be such that they resist this change in focus limiting theirengagement with these activities. We found scaffolding to be valuable to motivate desiredapproaches, behavior and attitudes to learning.For example, we constantly remind studentsthat “mistakes compress
