This triggered a tide of tall buildings, including the Home InsuranceBuilding in Chicago and the Manhattan Building in New York1. Steel frame buildings began torise all across the nation without any major changes in their connections or design for nearly acentury after the 1880’s. But after the structural failures during the 1994 Northridge Earthquake,there was a fundamental rethinking in the design of seismic resistant steel moment connections.This led to the SAC Steel Project research funded by FEMA2.

The students must select the “best” technologyfrom a number of alternatives, run the necessary experiments to prove the concept,construct a scale model of their design, prepare a market analysis and business plan whileaddressing community relations and environmental regulations, and make oral and posterpresentations at the competition.

Sadan Kulturel-Konak Penn State BerksThe lack of effective teamwork has been identified among the most important factorscontributing to the high failure rate of complex engineering projects. Therefore, it isessential that engineering students excel in teamwork skills in addition to the technicalskills. In this study, we explore students’ self efficacy and interest towards teamworksince the research suggests that the sufficient level of self efficacy can encouragepersonal growth and skill development and interest is a construct that can predictstudents’ professional development in a domain.
