the course was offered twice (Fall 2012and Fall 2013) and was taken by forty-seven students.The specific design components that were added to the existing mechanics of solids course atPrinceton University were: (i) a process book (i.e., sketch book with an emphasis on the processof design), (ii) a design workshop, and (iii) a post-design workshop critique. These componentswere spread throughout the semester and integrated with the solid mechanics material to createan extended and open-ended design project. This project was largely focused on understandingand redesigning the Sabrina Footbridge (Worcester, England, 1992), a cable-stayed bridgeengineered by SKM Anthony Hunts (Figure 1).

In addition to asking students todescribe how well they did or how confident they felt about applying material from course ARCXXX they were also asked to rate their confidence in resolving a list of named technical issues inthe design context (Structural Systems, Mechanical Systems, Façade Systems, Lighting Design,Sustainability Issues, Acoustic Design, Life Safety/Code Issues).In addition to issues of performance and confidence, students were also asked about their interestsand priorities in the area of technical constraints in the design process.

Finally, the implemented technologies, their benefits andshortcomings are compared in order to identify the reasons for utilizing a specific technology.Based on this comparison, an integrated technology is proposed that utilizes advantages

This introduces unfamiliar territory and different requirements forarchitecture and AE students, although all students must again begin the phase with research.Issues such as facade, exterior and interior materials of the building envelope, and integration ofwindow, roof, structural, and mechanical systems are studied. Students order samples, and askquestions of the technical staff at various product manufacturers. They seem to take more interestin the DD research, because it is focused on their individual projects. It is exciting for them toreceive manufacturer samples in the mail and compare them to products already in our materialslibrary

A search of JAE archives produces very few articles devoted to the subject.My senior colleagues anecdotally report that they have seen the number and level ofcomplexity of required structures courses decline over the course of their teachingcareers. I regularly survey the students on the first day of their first structures course andless than 30% say they would take the course if it were not required. Historical analysisrepresents a rich opportunity to engage students in the subject material of the traditionalstructures course, as it is a mode of pedagogy that is familiar to them and it has

It is interpreted internally by instantly reacting to the information beingreceived and then drawing conclusions based on those reactions. This first step only lastsas long as the material being presented. The information is sorted by material that isretained and material that is not. After information is received and some of it processed,students have different ways

While examples found in naturecannot be directly translated to architecture, its underlying principles can be effectively usedto improve the efficiency of man-made structures.

idea starts. Typically, a designer is given an explicit list of programmaticrequirements and a brief narrative.[8] From this, one formulates a sense of the problem, an idea,and the design directions to take to solve the problem. In the real world, the owner usuallyconfirms the architect’s sense of the problem and ideas. In a student design competition, thisbecomes a process of lonely soul searching of where to start because the mechanism of socialconfirmation is missing and their experience is limited.How does a student start the process of problem interpretation? Coming to a sense of what theproblem is really about is more than the sum of a list of function requirements. It involves manyunseen and unknown variables that result in a guess of
