(chi-square) that are appropriate for nominal to nominal and nominal ordinal data. The finalgrade in the class was then entered as a variable called “grade.” This was structured as anordinal variable consisting of A (4), B (3), C (2), D (1), and F (0). Page 15.1078.4ResultsSixtyeight (74%) of the students enrolled at the beginning of the class chose to participate in thestudy. Of these, two students dropped the class reducing the number of participants included inthe study to 65. The majority of the students were architecture majors. Students classified as“other” represented only 7.7% of the respondents. The breakdown of the participants

scoring an A or B on the exam would have an earlier one-day design problem gradeincreased one letter grade as very modest recognition for doing well.Students were also told that the material was important to learn if they wanted to pass the AREexam and become licensed architects; the end result of all their efforts for possibly the next eightto ten years. As an added comment, they were told that they were one of the best classes I havehad and that I know they would not let me down and that I had full confidence in them; anadditional emotional incentive. This covered the areas of instrumentality and valence.The students seemed engaged with the rational I gave them for learning this material but the onlyquestions that were brought up were those

With the development of newsoftware, digital drawings are used more and more extensively in the design field. However,freehand sketching continues to provide unique and vital capabilities to interior
aproject like this teaches one about suspension bridge basics in a hands-on manner. These lessonsare countless, but some examples are listed below: 1) How does one read structural engineering drawings? a. How can one utilize such drawings to reproduce a model, whether digital or physical? i. What is “CAD” and why, as a prospective civil engineer, is it important for me to learn the ropes of three dimensional computational modeling? b. How do these drawings give us the insight the chief engineer had when crafting the structure of the bridge? 2) How does a suspension bridge work? a. Why is there a cable and how

Teaching Structures in a Design StudioAbstractTeaching structural design concepts to architecture students in a studio setting is a powerful wayto educate future architects about designing efficient, exciting forms for building structures. Thekey to good structural design is to get the form right. The brilliant Uruguayan engineer, EladioDieste phrased it best: “There is nothing more noble and elegant from an intellectual viewpointthan this: to resist through form.” This paper describes an advanced undergraduate
Educational Methods for Design Courses: Functional DormitoriesAbstractThe purpose of this paper is to describe a student-led international engineering project that isboth exciting and educational. The challenge with this project is to reach the proper balance ofstudent-led creativity and learning, collection of data, adequate expert review, and transfer ofknowledge to other students. This paper details an international student project that was thendocumented as a case study. After providing a synopsis of the example case study, a suggestedstructure for developing such a case study is provided with references to the example. This canhelp guide a faculty member design such a project in the future. A suggested classroom

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
