He is currently an Associate Professor of Practice in George Washington
are summarized in tables A.1 and B.1 in appendix Aand B, respectively. Four hypotheses were presented that should be analyzed based on theproposed indicators. Although the proposed indicators for each curriculum are not similar,they imply aspects of acceptance/perception of the methodology applied to the study plan. Regarding hypothesis 1: Students in the 2019 plan (Tec21) who take a 5-week UF rated a higher average of 9.6699 than the 2011 plan (Tec20) with an average of 9.6177. However, the standard deviation for (Tec21) was higher (0.3178) than for the (Tec20) plan (0.1457). In other words, and applying the central limit theorem, on average, students in 5-week blocks of Tec21 accept continuous evaluations more; however, there

Furthermore, an increaseddemand of façade engineers in the industry should see the subject of façade design becomingpart of several architectural engineering programs in other U.S. universities in the future.Façade engineering in the industry and academiaA façade typically separates a building’s exterior from its interior. Some of the earlier buildingfacades built in the early seventeenth century were constructed of stone and brick masonry. a) Aerial view of the Royal Palace in Madrid, Spain [3] b) Electricity Museum in Lisbon, Portugal [4]Figure 1.

The polls will be applied on-line using Google Forms, where they will be asked perception questions related to performance and learning comparing the possibility of use SS versus the restrictions on their use. These questions are: o Did you develop and program your own SS or use SS developed by others? o How deeply do you know the way the routines work inside the SS? o In the change of routine scenario, are you able to modify the SS process to apply change of variables, formulas, and concepts? o In a special design case, where you must go off-routine, do you

, with a common gradingsystem. This paper assesses the student performance in statics over the past few years at OSU,across various semesters while considering the various ‘features’ of the course. Results indicatethat the performance of students in fall and summer are generally better than in spring with a largernumber of students obtaining ‘A’ or ‘B’. In-person learning in the post covid times (after 2021)has resulted in improved student performance compared to covid times. Recent developments inthe introduction of supplemental instruction (SI) leaders at OSU is an initiative that is expected tosee further improvements. Future work focused on hands-on learning and guest lectures fromindustry, can greatly enhance student learning.Keywords

unanswered. Initial questions on the survey asked the students declared major(ARCH, ARCHE, dual major, or undeclared), and a second question asked their year in ourprograms. Table 1(a) gives a breakdown of the responses, with none of the respondentsindicating undeclared as their current major. Table 1(b) provides a similar breakdown ofresponses from the follow-up survey. There were no respondents indicating a dual major orundeclared as their current major in the follow-up survey.It is important to the understanding of this survey that since the curriculum has the Introductionto Architecture course as a prerequisite to the first architecture design studio, the benefits of thiscourse should be considered within this research.

intellectual property to informand enrich engineering endeavors, ultimately contributing to the advancement of innovativesolutions in botanical engineering.The patent entitled "Vertical Garden," depicted in Figures 1 a and b, introduced the innovativeconcept of employing troughs for the containment and support of plants, diverging from theinitial notion of utilizing 3D-printed pots. This transition to troughs represented a pragmaticshift, aligning with practical considerations such as cost-effectiveness and ease ofmanufacturability. While the patent served as a catalyst for inspiring certain aspects of theproject, the project evolved further to incorporate vertical troughs to optimize spatial utilizationand plant arrangement.

furthest tocompletion, with electrical design being lowest and equal to plumbing. An unexpected result was how manytake their designs to a construction document (CD) level of completeness (Fig. 2b). This could be partiallydue to a team’s ability to go to that level of refinement, or perhaps certain key parts of a discipline’ssystem(s) are developed to that extent while other parts are not. For example, a team may design a singlestructural connection but not all of them in the building. To provide some literature context, most capstoneshave students target a level of completeness of their project somewhere between SD and DD [18-19]. a) covered within the capstone b) completeness of student work
