There are manyimportant studies, such as concurrent engineering have been performed about this subject andthese studies have been successfully integrated to the conventional design process1. As a resultof the growth of the companies, departments could be located in the different places and far fromeach other, so that the professionals have less and limited opportunity for face to facecommunication and brainstorming. Therefore, it is a necessity to modify and adapt classicalmethods to the current situation. Developments, especially on the communication andinformation technology, increase the adaptation possibility of conventional methods to the newsituations. It is very well known that, the computer is an important device for

broader skills needed to prosper in the twenty-first century.”Eleanor Baum of the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art suggests that "Wewill expect engineers to have a background well beyond technology and science…the biggestchange for universities will be to turn engineering into a liberal art”4. Baum claims engineers arehired for their analytical and problem-solving skills more than their technical skills. Yetcommunication skills are equally important because information becomes knowledge only whenconclusions drawn from analyses and potential solutions to problems are effectivelycommunicated to those who need to make decisions or implement solutions.

Session #1617 Geometric Conceptualization In the Architectural Engineering Curriculum Katherine A. Liapi The University of Texas at AustinAbstractGeometric conceptualization has always been among the essential mental tools requiredfor the invention and modeling of spatial structures, as well as for the structural, spatialand dimensional coordination in buildings. The downplayed role of geometry in mostarchitectural engineering curricula may be responsible for engineering students’ lowperformance in geometric conceptualization and visualization.

without a real design and testing inthe lab. Excitement and anticipation could always be noticed on the day of testing. Loadingprojects to failure or crushing concrete specimens was always the highlight of any event. Itdrew the loudest cheer, and one could feel the emotional attachment between the teams andtheir projects. Almost all the students who did these projects in the past few years felt that thegrading criteria was fair. These projects are regularly reviewed and upgraded to incorporatenew rules related to the latest methods of design and testing.Bibliography1. “Engineering Criteria 2000, Third Edition,” Engineering Accreditation Commission of The Accreditation Boardfor Engineering and Technology, December 1997ASHRAF M.

By presenting engineering as a sport, engineering can beviewed as an inclusive, interesting, and exciting activity. While having roots as the MIT 2.70Design Course, many institutions have recognized the value of hands-on design competitions toteach engineering design. Nationally, the original MIT 2.70 design contest has been developedas an engineering outreach project known as FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Scienceand Technology) that teams industry engineers with high school students to build sophisticatedrobots capable of playing mechanical sports

A calculus class period wasdevoted to the theory of solving systems of equations and how to use technology to assist in thisprocess. Engineering data which required a log scale for data analysis initiated the calculuscontent of logarithmic and exponential functions.
