generation to the next has told stories to educate and entertain sincehumans left Africa 200,000 years ago1. Children in K-12 learn about the world through firsthearing stories, then reading stories, writing stories and telling stories. In college, students maytake a writing intensive course in which they research a course topic or case study2 and presenttheir findings as an oral story to their peers. They learn by teaching others through stories.There are many different methods of faculty storytelling in the classroom. A teacher may relay astory they have read or heard to emphasize a point, encourage students to tell their ownexperiences that relate to a lecture subject, create a hypothetical story to encourage deeperthinking of a concept or share

benefits of industry integration in capstone projects are documented in prior literature.However, student led teaming with industry partners further enhances student learning in thefollowing program outcomes identified in the ‘a’ through ‘k’ ABET criteria as follows: (c) an ability to design a system ….within realistic constraints. As students explore and define the capstone project, they gain an understanding for the real life constraints such as budget, schedule, etc. (e) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems. Most engineering courses focus on solving the problem. The capstone experience is an ideal opportunity to allow students the experience of identifying and formulating the

less that has been written about assessment of community engagementfrom a client’s perspective. In other words, in entering communities with classprojects, how do our clients value the experience they have had with our students?Other than the physical projects that we often leave them with (built structures,designs, models), what do these clients value the most above and beyond thearchitecture that we create? What is truly valuable to them in the student-community relationship?Answers to these questions can only come from a methodology that is centeredaround eliciting the answers. This paper therefore explores the process of creatinga survey directed at determining an answer to these questions; it looks at theprocess of development of a survey

readily identified,and informal discussions about your own research will elicit obvious responses (eitherpositive or lukewarm) in the student. Another vehicle for helping promote studentinterest is to give the student options within a theme. For example, I recently recruited astudent to work on the study of the historically significant thin shell masonry structuresby the Guastavino’s. I gave the student the choice of either going through archivalmaterial, or looking at constructability issues, or researching the folk tradition in theCatalan region of Spain, where this method originated. The student chose the last option,because he is a native speaker of Spanish and is interested in studying that region.3. At the undergraduate level, analysis

Design decision making will always berife with competing interests between the professions; however an improvement in the process ofdesign can provide designers with the evidence needed to make empowered decisions aboutenergy use in buildings. The origin of this improvement lies within academia, whose structuremust address the collaborative problems inherent within the professional practices of the buildingindustry. This paper proposes a new, combined architecture and engineering course thataddresses the education and implementation of integrated design through the use of buildingperformance simulation as a vehicle for reintegration.

technological advance fromprevious AEC software platforms. According to Smith and Tardi a BIM application more closelyresembles a relational database than vector-based CAD applications. They proposed that BIMmore readily “understands” that the objects created by users represent real world components ofan actual building [5]. Additionally, they stated that “a genuinely comprehensive buildinginformation model would encompass not only geometry but all of the information about abuilding that is created through its useful life” [5]. According to Kensek, “BIM is a naturalprogression in the evolution of computer supported practice” [4].BIM has been defined as a “project simulation consisting of the 3D models of the projectcomponents with links to all the

It discusses the underlying concepts of generative design and includesexamples using Grasshopper with Rhino 3D for both massing and for basic structural layouts. Italso discusses the necessary skill set, beyond that associated with the operation of the underlyingCAD applications, required for students to utilize these applications. It then proposes aframework for incorporating generative design into CAD courses utilizing a 2-D to 3-D sequenceof instructional activities.Part 1: IntroductionThe digital revolution and its associated discourse is increasingly influencing all of the designfields, particularly architecture [1].

The shift from using ACAD to aBIM platform is thus more challenging and complex since a student now models not just astructure but significant amount of additional information that comes along with the structure.According to Markling, a number of smaller firms in the AEC industry are using BIM for 3Dmodeling, visualization, imagery, walk-throughs and to produce 2D construction drawingssimilar to other CAD software, but a number of these BIM models contain little to noinformation that can be used beyond design and further [14] which is suggested by the datagathered.

Many of the current projects (such as thosenoted above) focus upon the art of container architecture and there are few that go beyond themere selection of shipping containers as a claim to their green and sustainable quality.There appear to be several sources that discuss alternative, green and sustainable housing designsand methods (e.g., Gauzin-Müller, 20063; Stang, Hawthorne, 20054) as well as more recentpublications that discuss the use of intermodal shipping containers for a variety of building types(e.g., Sawyers, 20085; McLean

CAD technology in many ways is changing this experience for the designer also.

About half of the AE programs are located withindepartments of civil engineering, while the other half are departments in their own right. Most fallunder the college of Engineering, but two of the programs are housed in the School of Architecture.One is located in the College of Engineering, but admits students through the College ofArchitecture.
