Building plan.Design Procedure and ProductThe design of the structure was split into two parts: (a) Apply the ASCE 7-102 equivalent lateralforce procedure to determine the base shear, the period of the structure, and the verticaldistribution of forces on the frame; (b) Select the optimal sizes for the steel plates, HBE andVBE required on each floor by following the AISC codes using MS Excel or MathCAD. TheASCE 7-103 equivalent lateral force procedure was used to determine the minimum lateral forcesused for design of the three-story office building

Challenges for Engineering project were graded.The first three assignments, to introduce their topic, complete the annotated bibliography, andprepare the summary of their topic, were worth 5% of their final grade per assignment. The finalpresentation was worth 20% of their final grade for the course. Therefore, all four components ofthe project were worth a total of 35% of their final grade for the course. The average grade for allgroups on the overall project was a B. From the signed consent forms, it was noted that theaverage grade for the students that completed the survey was a B+, while the average grade forthe students that chose not to complete the survey was a C.Updates for Future ClassesIn general, the feedback about this project was quite

industry partnerships (on average 20-25 partners participate in each vehicle project) contribute to the development of the DO program for both short-term (e.g., what are the pros and cons between options A and B) and long-term aspects (e.g. the type and target market of a vehicle). Their role includes providing realistic examples of problems encountered in industry that convey engineering challenges and future design requirements to provide the students with concrete examples of trade-off which are constantly made in industry. In addition, the industrial collaborators mentor the students and offer feedback during each stage of the
