A point onthe scatter plot is determined by grade average (y-axis coordinate) and the ALEKS score (x-axiscoordinate). The trend line shows the tendency of the ALEKS score with a certain gradeoutcome.When comparing the individual class grades with the ALEKS score received, the graph showed agradual upward trend from lower scores to higher scores in relation to class grades. This is truefor each of the three classes. The three class grades where then averaged together and comparedto the ALEKS score. This trend line showed the students having the lower

The PRD process, shown in Figure 1, provided eight steps that systematicallyguided the Committee, serving as a roadmap as they sought to develop a new architecturalengineering program from conception to implementation.Figure 1. The Program (Re) Design model followed to create a new interdisciplinaryarchitectural engineering program. (Fowler, 2017)In order to ensure the new architectural engineering program was responsive to current societalneeds, program decisions could not be made until relevant data were available (Diamond, 2008).Wolf (2007) emphasized the need for curriculum development to be data

As presented in Figure 1, the historical evolution identifies advances madefrom basic manual systems to intelligent advanced material systems in control, sensing andactuating technologies during the past seventy years. In addition, depending on the type ofelectrical power used in the facade systems, the responsive systems are identified as either passiveor active systems. Based on the active or passive technologies used in responsive systems, controlcan be a closed-loop or open-loop system.The utilized technologies are categorized in five groups: mechanical technology

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).

Most programs are “nested” in that a student can begin a GraduateCertificate; convert to a Graduate Diploma with advanced standing and then move on to aMaster’s degree using the credits obtained from the lesser qualifications. Normally, the studentis only awarded one degree which is the highest at which the student qualifies.A Masters degree takes two to four semesters with the majority requiring three full timesemesters.

Object orientedprogramming is computational ontology; a data model that represents a “domain” and is used toreason about the objects in that domain and the relations between them. Programmers define adata structure, and then define the operations that can be applied to that data structure. Therefore,the data structure is defined as an object that includes both data and functions with specifiedrelationships between the object and other objects [1]. Consequently, architectural objects relate“intelligently” [2] and function more intuitively, enabling powerful applications to be easier andmore intuitive to use.

Do graduates feel they were well-equipped for the workplace by their education?But what are the differences between expectations of employers and academics preparingstudents for the workplace in terms of a knowledge base which is useful?

While the design flexibility and productivity afforded by parametricmodeling positively impacts the role of computing in architectural design, the adoption ofparametric computer modeling does not in itself dramatically alter the design process. However,this is not the case with the current generation of OOP-based architectural CAD applicationswhich utilize Building Information Modeling (BIM).
