The simulation work can range from understanding architectural design load implications, to optimizing a passive solar strategy for a zone/building, to simulating complex distribution systems and HVAC types. Dunn also serves as a teachers assistant for various courses at the Idaho Urban Research and Development Center, the satellite graduate architecture program for the Uni- versity of Idaho. He has helped deliver coursework for daylight simulation classes, run independent study courses, and facilitate integrated architecture

This paper examines this topic within theframework of the literature that speaks to repurposing and adaptive re-use in the design field andplaces this project within the continuum of that context, meanwhile exploring the question ofhow to develop a suitable proof of concept that can leverage this into a studio or capstone

Students learn the characteristics, advantages anddisadvantages of different structural systems, how to evaluate the different systems and how todevelop the preliminary structural designs of buildings. The courses also cover foundations,cladding and long span and high rise structures.The primary goal of this series is to give these students tools that will assist them in their careersas project leaders so they can better produce efficient

The capstone experience can also be significantly different. BYOPrepresents the opportunity to add to the student’s portfolio of projects. Smaller class sizeshowever must be balanced against heavy teaching loads for faculty. Developing projectmentorship that enhances both the BYOP students and more advanced students experience maybe one approach. Another approach may be to partner with 4-year colleges and universities.

I argued that this disposition was functional and necessary forengineers to carry out design and analysis effectively; the wrong level of reliance onmathematics—too much reverence or too much skepticism—would incur safety and economicrisks. Unanswered by this prior research was how these engineers developed their perspective onthe relationship between mathematics and engineering and this disposition of skepticalreverence.

we can improve our curriculum.It is common practice in undergraduate engineering programs for students to participate inmultiple projects during their studies. The ABET requirement for a “curriculum culminating in amajor design experience” [1] for accredited BS programs often means a senior capstone activitythat involves a substantial project-based component. While projects may differ in their scope,complexity, and size, a key factor for improving success is some form of project management.Frequently though, students use an ad hoc project management approach, as they lack experiencein formal techniques. Regardless if the project is simple or sophisticated, students need to reducethe given problem into logical tasks, divide responsibilities
