By examining the dilemma ofthese two elements in the value judging base, the paper argues that we need to re-examine theprocedure and methodology of the urbanized hill eco-path engineering design. To achieve theoptimal solution for an eco-engineering project, the concept of multi-disciplinary participatorydesign processes with a generalist base of engineering pedagogy, was finally proposed.IntroductionLandscape architectural design and site engineering construction require mutual interactionduring professional practice in order to perform the built-environment in a complex naturalsetting. Landscape architecture includes the planning, design, management, and preservation ofhuman-made constructs. The engineering design concerns the process

They also neglect to notice whether the curriculum and facilities,teachers, and services meet the goal of extension education, and whether the professionalprograms are of excellent quality. Therefore, schools must understand whether the programplanning and teaching content meets the degree of perception and satisfaction of learners(Finn, 2002; Wang, 2008). Therefore, the appropriateness of the program planning andteaching content can be determined. These can be used as the reference for draftingdevelopment strategies in the future.

Being in the Page 23.1092.2college of “Built Environment”, ARCE offers courses that pertain to building design similar tostructural engineering programs in other universities. Multidisciplinary collaboration isintroduced to CAED students on the onset of their studies by requiring the students to take thesame classes for the first two years of their studies.Mandatory

This is the course in which the focus shiftsfrom structural elements to building structural systems. Working with the knowledge studentsgained in Structures I and Structures II, students develop the skills to analyze simple buildingscomposed of axial and bending members. They learn about structural stability in 3D, gravity andlateral loads, the development of framing plans, the behavior and comparison of structuralbuilding systems, framing schemes and building configuration related to vertical and lateralloads.Following the Structural Systems course, the ARCH and CM students took Small

prominence and the line thatseparates the different roles in the construction industry has already become blurred. Thetwo professions are so interrelated that the industry values a background in both fields.Increasingly more universities across the country and the world have an ArchitecturalEngineering curriculum. However, most existing programs emphasize training inArchitectural Engineering with significantly less emphasis placed on structuralengineering. In this report, I devised an undergraduate curriculum(s) at NC StateUniversity to build a professional career in building/bridge design with strong emphasisin both the structural as well as the architectural aspects. This plan may serve as a modelfor programs interested in a similar training path

review. The more information about the building or site, the smoother process of creating the models will be. The second recommendation for literature review is to try to find floor plans and elevations with graphic scales. This allows you to enlarge or reduce the drawings as necessary without distorting the dimensions. Dimensions are critical for creating a more accurate 3-D model. Therefore, to obtaining sufficient and accurate dimensions becomes a key for a successful reconstruction process. 2. Computational geometry analysis on floor plans and elevations – this step serves as verifications for uncertain data such as dimensions and missing portions of the structure. The geometry analysis also can

and then students were tasked with further refining and re-designingtheir safe shelters. The students were given three additional weeks to refine and complete afinalized plan and professional scaled model. At project close, the students presented theirproposed designs for the safe shelter project to the professor and the community partner. Thecommunity partner offered valuable insight as to the most appropriate solution, and offeredsuggestions for further refinement before the project could be constructed. At the semester’send, the community partner chose which design best embodied the design intent, and onestudent’s design was chosen, see Figure 1. This design was the springboard to further explorationand study. Figure 1

civic partnership [7].To build such a partnership, the AMS facultyapproached the City of Bowling Green to explore potential opportunities for involving studentsin projects that would be mutually beneficial.According to Schuman the history of service-learning in schools of architecture and planning canbe found in the late 1960s where schools emphasized engaging students in the social issues andsupplementing classroom learning with community contact. Due to different circumstancesthrough the years’ service-learning has been more broadly accepted in planning programs than inarchitecture departments. A resurgence of interest in social engagement in professional practiceof architecture and schools can be seen in the late 1990s early 2000. [8

Additional tools can be used to provide information that asingle tool could not provide, or they can be used as “second opinions” to build confidence in adesign decision7.Building SelectionThe design and floor plan of thebuilding used in the modules arebased on the First Jacobs House8(Figure 1), a 1550 square footresidential building designed byFrank Lloyd Wright in 1936. TheFirst Jacobs House was part ofWright’s Usonia movement. Thebuilding, located in Madison,Wisconsin, was chosen for two mainreasons.

are marketing BIM softwarepackages. But BIM is not as simple as a new software package for designers; it is quite literally aparadigm shift in the concept of building delivery and operation. The BIM design methodologycombined with the software allows all the design professionals, from all disciplines and trades, tocontribute knowledge and share it in one three dimensional parametric model. Once the designteam is finished the contractors can use this same model to do quantity extractions, estimating,construction planning and even computer aided manufacturing. During owner operation of thebuilding, this model can be used for facility management and planning. The use of BIM caneliminate the reliance on rolls of two dimensional drawings and the
