The Main Factors of Promoting Designerly Thinking (Conventional and Situation-based Thinking) in Teaching the Basics of Architectural Designing

Abstract Generally, design thinking has been defined as an analytic and creative process so that it provides opportunities for experience, creation, receiving comments, and redesigning. Design thinking is linked to the fields such as architecture, designing and art and is also discussed in many disciplines. Among various proposed paradigms, emphasizing on the academic-educational aspect and ...

Discussing Sketchup Software in the Application of Architectural Design Teaching

In order to help the students of architecture out of the errors of studying architectural design, this paper briefly introduces the application features of the Sketchup software. They should truly understand the origin of architectural design and master application skills of Sketchup software. Based on the description of the current lack of architecture education and the feature of Sketchup sof...

Digital System Design Basics

A digital system performs microoperations. The most well known digital system example is is a microprocessor. A microprocessor performs microoperations to run machine language instructions. Microoperations are simple operations that can be completed in one clock period, such as additions, subtractions, AND, OR, INVERT, compare, shift, rotate, read from memory, write to memory. Digital systems c...

On Teaching the Basics of Complexity Theory

We outline a conceptual framework for teaching the basic notions and results of complexity theory. Our focus is on using deenitions and on organizing the presentation in a way that reeects the fundamental nature of the material. We do not attempt to provide a self-contained presentation of the material itself, but rather outline our suggestions regarding how this material should be presented in...
