This process includes an entire steel buildingdesign, from building code research through preliminary and final design of a steel structure toproduction of construction documents for the project.Historically this course has centered around a steel building design project in which studentteams where responsible for the design and documentation of the steel structure. Based on thatcourse model, problems became apparent in subsequent structural design courses and in thecomprehensive design studio. These problems included the fact that a large percentage of thestudents were not aware of the structural design process necessary to complete a buildingdesign. A

learning projects, as our campus is one of the nations leaders in suchproject types. It is however uncommon for the design students to be placed on projects that askthem to step outside their comfort zone in terms of social economic interaction with communityresidents/partners. Asking them to set aside their personal biases to apply their design skills to aproject that would create a usable space for those that are afflicted with Sickle Cell, as well as aworking environment for those that provide much needed social services to them. This three-partstudy saw our students study three options: • Renovation that would connect the two adjacent facilities currently being used by the agency. • Designing proposals for a new structure one

Architects assume a pivotal role in seismicresistant design and are responsible for communicating seismic resistant strategiesto building owners and community leaders. It is important that seismic designeducators and practitioners understand how seismic design is currently taught inschools of architecture in order to identify new avenues for seismic designeducation and disseminate best teaching practices.This paper reports on findings from: a survey of professors who teach structuresin the U.S. schools accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board(NAAB); a review of school catalog materials; and an

Using the computer programSketchUp, a catalog of 3D manipulative computer models were created and incorporated into avariety of academic Construction Drawing and Analysis class exercises. This tool enabledstudents to manipulate, orbit, zoom in/out, and have selective viewing of constructioncomponents learning models. These activities allow students to dissect a building structure anddevelop an understanding how building components inter-relate. The analysis of comparativestudents using the models showed a positive direction in
architectural programs)IntroductionIt is interesting to note that the pedagogic approaches of teaching structural principles inarchitectural programs and in civil engineering disciplines are almost identical and haveremained relatively unchanged for the past few decades. Lectures are generally conducted usingcalculation-intensive platforms and the role of the students in the lecture is relatively limited, andthus they remain in a passive mode of learning throughout the classes. A mathematical approachis unquestionably the most exact, effective and economical way in engineering problem solvingas well as in engineering education. However, based on my experiences as a structures professorin architectural programs, this white-board-only teaching
AC 2010-493: INTEGRATING SUSTAINABILITY INTO STUDIO DESIGNCURRICULUMDaniel Davis, University of Hartford Page 15.774.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2010 INTEGRATING SUSTAINABILITY INTO STUDIO DESIGN CLASS CURRICULUMAbstractAt the University of Hartford, we have established an architectural program founded onintegration. Architecture by its very nature is connected to other disciplines, yet architecturaleducation is often criticized for a lack of integration in the curriculum. By increasing theawareness of the interrelationship between different areas of study, we are attempting to strike anew and more effective
problems, in analready full academic curriculum. This paper describes an approach to helping students developstructural engineering design skills in an introductory level mechanics of solids class. Thisapproach includes three components: (i) a process book, (ii) a design workshop, and (iii) a post-design workshop critique. The specific design skills that students learn and practice includeproblem scoping, brainstorming, sketching, generating and evaluating alternative schemes, andcritique. Additionally, through this project, students contextualize their understanding of thefundamental principles of solid mechanics. The merit of this project is that students cansuccessfully learn design skills in an existing introductory engineering
required to house interior buildingsystems. This proof of concept study is set within the context of an undergraduatecourse and the limited amount of literature on this specific topic. It examines andassesses student responses to the survey and projects the results into a setting formore rigorous, future research within this topical subject area.IntroductionIt is quite common in the context of today’s architectural education to witnessstudents studying computer models of their design projects to analyze items suchas proportion, solar gain, daylighting and structural failures. The use of thesemodels and modeling tools is prevalent, as the computer performs these tasks welland accurately and does so in a rapid manner that a student laden with
