These data, along with thestudent’s GPA, were used for non-parametric bi-variate analysis using Kendall’s tau-b to determineif there were correlations with the responses to the initial seven questions

that would involve more participantswould enable the data and conclusions to be further reaching in conclusions andrecommendations. As it now stands the conclusions can only be attributed to this small samplegroup. However, given the encouraging results from this study it appears that using an adoptedbuilding as a case study within this context could prove to be a valuable method for teachingstudents about commercial construction.References:1.

); and the challenges facing their design. It is worth-mentioning here thatdaylighting is also considered a bioclimatic strategy, whereas bioclimatic design is defined as theutilization of naturally-occurring flows of energy to provide human comfort.3.1 Advantages of Daylighting SystemsAdvantages of daylighting systems include the following: a. Daylighting systems reduce lighting energy use. Daylight is a free renewable source of light that is available almost everywhere on the planet. b. Daylighting systems reduce space cooling load. Both sunlight and daylight (sky component) are of a higher efficacy than artificial light sources6. Cooling load reduction helps creating ultra-efficient buildings. c. Daylight is an

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

A research study was conducted in SPSUConstruction Department to examine the teaching effectiveness. The spatial transferability of thefaculty evaluation mechanisms, without regard to spatial socio-cultural differences, is discussedin this study based on the collected data and following a thorough literature review. It was foundthat the ratings of a large percentage of construction students were positively influenced whentheir exam grades were inflated; the entire course material was not covered during the semester;a project was not assigned to the course; and students were allowed to arrive late as well asabsent from class from time to time

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
