? • Better storytelling - Learning to write clearly and concisely. • Better methodology - Appreciate the importance of developing a detailed proposal. Look for opportunities to discover the total process, not simply confirm the phenomenon. • Better data collection - Deciphering the critical data points for collection and presentation.This paper will attempt to detail the Foggy Mirror exercise so that the ideas can be adopted in othercurriculum, provide insights into successes and challenges, and how to meaningfully encourage students tobecome disciplined inquisitive engineers.Keywords: Experimentation, ABET, Problem Solving, Teamwork, Active LearningIntroduction Broadly, engineering is perceived as a practical profession

students interested in studying the engineering ofbuildings and systems through an immersive and forward-thinking curriculum. At that time, acurriculum development team composed of multidisciplinary faculty, industry representatives,and curriculum design experts from TAMU’s Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE)collaborated to write a multidisciplinary degree program drawing on strengths from anestablished College of Engineering (COE), in partnership with the College of Architecture(COA). To facilitate the rapid growth of the program’s enrollment, making it one of the largestprograms in the US currently, the program is situated within a Department of MultidisciplinaryEngineering (MTDE) for administrative support and guidance. Once the program

visual study tools ratherthan traditional reading-writing methods.It is important to consider that through the application of different teaching methods theknowledge can be further approached. In architecture, it is necessary to make relationsbetween theoretical aspects and concepts with much more practical and technicalapplications. Thus, the requirement of having a broad comprehension of topics and therelations between them is fundamental. Through mind maps, graphic relations can be madebetween the several topics covered on a course. Visual tools can help “clarify the relationshipbetween material objects and concepts to understand” [3]. The critical challenges faced byan ArPM (Architect Project Manager) are ‘poor planning,’ ‘unfamiliar

The construction site visits are a fundamental tool in the competenciesdevelopment for the students.Key words: Higher Education, Structural engineering basic concepts 1. IntroductionIn the study of different topics in the Structural analysis and design, the approach of thestudents to the contents is based on theoretical contents and mathematical demonstration ofequations that describe the structural behavior of a number of elements that shape abuilding or a structure in any area, residential, commercial, industrial

overall findings and lessons learned at the end of the course. The LEGO® based leanmanufacturing and production simulation [23] is run in a similar fashion with student teams writing 6up recommended improvements after each simulation (6 total) in addition to taking a lean processquiz.Because system architecture was afforded a full lecture, the topics described under EMSE 1001were first repeated to reinforce the student’s high-level understanding of system architecture. TheEMSE 2801 course built on these fundamentals and went into deeper detail on system architecture.To put system architecture in perspective, it was first described that the

obtained by giving the students the opportunityof having an interactive, live-broadcast, virtual construction site visit without the necessity ofactually being in the site. The purpose of the implementation of live streaming tools is toeliminate the one-way-talk, with the professor only speaking to himself. There must be real-time interaction with the students in order to fulfill the emotional necessity of the student to feelas an active part of the activity, as well as granting him the advantages of making all of hisquestions in the moment they are presented and not later on, when both, the curiosity or thecomplete information, may be gone. The capability of students to attend construction sites incontingency situations, is fundamental for the

learning methods areparticularly pertinent for architecture students, given the artistic nature of their career, wherevisuals play a crucial role. “... Architecture students are generally visually orientated andhave rather creative minds, capacities that seem less compatible with the more-strict rulesand systematic approach of doing research” [1]. Considering this characteristic ofarchitecture students, there is a preference towards the use of create visual study tools ratherthan traditional reading-writing methods.It is crucial to recognize that employing diverse teaching methods enhances the approach toknowledge acquisition. In the field of architecture, establishing connections betweentheoretical concepts and their practical and technical

The Large-scale Artificial Intelligence Open Network-5B (LAION-5B) makes one of the larger datasetrepositories which holds 5.85 billion usable image and text pairings [9]. Then product vendorsaccess the dataset and deploy diffusion models to train the AI. The text-to-image generators donot attribute the original work [10]. Second, computers do too much of the work and not theartist. Using minimal effort, Ammar Reshi engages ChatGPT to write and AI art to illustrate thechildren’s book Alice and Sparkle [11].
