Engineering - Other (59)Architecture students typically learn about structural design elements in a traditional lecture setting without linkages to the design studio. As a result, architecture students are unable to integrate their technical knowledge into their building designs effectively. This project is taking advantage of recent developments in multimedia computer technology and is creating a set of computer-aided, web-based learning modules to teach fundamental concepts in building structures to architecture students. Each module is devoted to a long-span building system (either steel-framed systems, truss systems, arches, or domes) and consists of two parts: an introduction and system selection submodule, and an analysis, design, and visualization submodule. The modules being developed through this project are improving the technical education of architecture students by enhancing their ability to integrate structural systems into their designs and by increasing their understanding of technical content. Workshops and online courses are being developed to disseminate the results of the project and to enable other institutions to adopt the educational materials.

工程-其他（59）建筑学学生通常在传统的讲座环境中学习结构设计元素，而不与设计工作室联系。因此，建筑专业的学生无法有效地将他们的技术知识融入建筑设计中。该项目利用多媒体计算机技术的最新发展，正在创建一套计算机辅助的基于网络的学习模块，向建筑学学生教授建筑结构的基本概念。每个模块都致力于大跨度建筑系统（钢框架系统，桁架系统，拱或圆顶），并由两个部分组成：介绍和系统选择子模块，以及分析，设计和可视化子模块。通过该项目开发的模块通过增强建筑学生将结构系统集成到设计中的能力以及增加他们对技术内容的理解来改善建筑学生的技术教育。正在开发讲习班和在线课程，以传播该项目的成果，并使其他机构能够采用这些教材。
