During the design process, neitherarchitects nor engineers pay enough attention to the design of daylighting systems. Engineersdesign electric lighting systems but not daylighting. Unless a lighting simulation computerprogram is utilized, no scientific prediction of the performance of daylighting systems takesplace. Very few engineers are trained to use daylighting design computer programs. Themajority of the commonly-used methods and design-assisting tools to design daylightingsystems do not provide meaningful feedback on performance. This is

. Unlike most upper-year engineering courses, our computer networks course isrelatively light on mathematics, and instead focuses on protocols, algorithms, and systems-levelthinking. Lectures and tutorials are dedicated to teaching the relevant concepts and problem-solving skills, while laboratory sessions are centered on hands-on design and analysis. Studentsare paired for the labs and are required to complete two large socket programming projects in theC language. In this section, we discuss the key challenges that we faced in the online delivery ofour course. We analyze these challenges, explain the actions we took to address them, and drawconnections to the literature.The first challenge we faced on the teaching side was determining how to

The solution may be obtained by hand, and this generally requires algebraic manipulation. Alternatively, the solution of any number of equations, linear or non- linear, can be obtained with a modern engineering tool. With intelligent application of verification (Step 8), the computer program is a much more reliable calculation device than a calculator.

This preparationand detail in the assignment improves the communication of the project and reportingexpectations, and thus lower stress for students and faculty. Done properly, the design projectexperience can be an excellent educational experience.
