Page 25.1335.4 5. Syllabus and internet classroom was updated for online learning with assistance from on- campus instructional developer 6. Online message board became a required activity for the course and points were assigned to capture student engagement. Message board postings were required from students in one of three forms each day. (a) question (b) response to student question (c) helpful hintCourse offering/usage statistics were documented: 1. Online classroom was visited maximum of 89 times by a single student in 21 day offering period, the minimum was 35 visits 2. The highest traffic times were 2pm (92 visits), 5pm (81 visits), 11am (74 visits) and 9pm (71 visits) each day 3. The highest

hiring process of selection based on skills, experience and attitude. This can result in dysfunctional and unbalanced teams that do not resemble those assembled in industry. While imperfect, this type of team contributes to a positive (and maybe painful) experience where students must learn to quickly deal with personalities and skill sets that don’t always mesh.Effectiveness of University Teaming EducationThe effectiveness of the ARCE and BRAE teaming environments has been analyzed throughstudent and graduate self-surveys. Three primary surveys have been taken; A. ARCE Design Labs- Over a period of three years ARCE Students have completed end-of-quarter of surveys. B. ARCE Integrated Project Delivery

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. The assignment

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.

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

international organizations worldwide (Anthony, 2002; Ministry ofEducation, 2010). It has also become the principle for national reformation and socialdevelopment in most countries. During the last few years, the learning requirements of adultlearners have increased in conjunction with the number of higher education organizations;university administrators began to value the function of extension education (Cowan andPinheiro-Torres, 2004). In 1991, fifty colleges and universities were operating in Taiwan. In2011, the number of colleges and universities was as high as 145, a three-fold growth rate. All145 colleges and universities have established extension education centers. Moreover, 19extension education institutions have an Architecture Department
