receptive to knowledge acquisition when itcomes in the context of trying to solve a design problem.9 Many others support this viewand offer examples of technical instruction in the form of design assignments.10,11,12,13At Syracuse University there is only one structural engineer on the faculty (the firstauthor) and so teaching a structures based studio to all students is not a practical option.However using the principles supported in the literature that a) the most important aspectof structures education for an architect is the development of structural intuition and b)that the optimal way to teach technical material to architects is in the context of a designassignment, the assignment described in this paper was designed.

Part:Questionnaire Content Explanation-The questionnaire design is a “ClosedQuestionnaire.” A 5-point Likert Scale is used to conduct the design and edition. This type ofquestionnaire design allows the target to use a five-equaled scale to answer the questions. Thefive points on scales are: Strongly Agree, Agree, Undecided, Disagree and Strongly Disagree.They are numbered as 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1, respectively. The targets can then express the degreeto which they agree with each statement. A higher number indicates that the target identifiesmore with that particular influence.

While currently the BIMcourse covers all topics related to the information laden aspect of the model, this will need to bedriven home in a more forceful manner to the students through smaller projects where studentsare expected to build a model which will contain information that can be used not just during thedesign and drawing generation phase of the project but can move into the construction phase andbeyond, making complex architectural projects easier to manage through the entire cycle ofdesign, construction and facilities management.References[1] B.

it is taught by a team of three architects,one of whom specializes in environmental controls, and one structural engineer, and the size ofthe class varies from 30 to 45 students. Both architecture and architectural engineering studentsare required to take this course. The course requirements are somewhat different for the twomajors, and often less than a quarter of the class is AE students. We have come to call this theComprehensive Semester because it not only requires the use of information learned throughoutthe curriculum, but also incorporates a studio, a technology seminar, and a management courseinto a tightly knit whole. Throughout the semester, all students integrate architectural design withmechanical and structural systems design

: The most common system used in the late 1800s and early 1900s consisted of a roof tank(s) combined with constant-speed pumps that operated by a level switch in the tank. When the level in the tank would approach a pre-determined height, the pumps would either turn on to fill the tank(s) or turn off when the tank is full (Larson, 2007). Water storage was also required for fire protection, and tanks provided for both needs. The water is distributed using gravity downfeed arrangement. b.

This paper describes a one credit hour, semester long, project undertaken byMArch students alongside a required course in Structural Engineering Design. Studentsundertook conceptual design of pedestrian bridges. After a class wide study of innovativeprecedents, they worked in small groups and were required to choose and analyze a site,and propose an initial structural scheme. A minimum clear span was required to pushmore ambitious spanning strategies. They then performed a Finite Element Analysis andsized all the primary structural members of the bridge. The
Education, 2012Culture Reflections Embodied in Modern Architecture: An Analysis Symbolic Meanings of Classical Chinese Garden Design Elements and PrinciplesIntroduction When people walk into a space or built environment, people should feel the designintention made manifest through visual cues. Amos Rapoport stated that the built environmentholds meaning as part of a cultural system of symbols, and influences our actions and ourdeterminations of social order [4]. It also has been a consensus that designers must understandthe effect of the physical manifestation of design on people in the body of knowledge of theinterior design profession [2]. Therefore, understanding the symbolic meanings conveyed bydesign elements become crucial for
