development of the structural form is directly influenced by the architectural concern for aesthetic appeal. the architectural challenge is to create building forms that satisfy the functional requirements, yet are aesthetically and economically successful. the structural challenge is to create structural forms that accommodate the functional requirements while supporting the imposed loads as e...

Currently there is a lot of emphasis on engineering education research (EER) and engineering education innovation (EEI). In the EER domain, several universities have established or are considering establishing engineering education research centers and PhD programs. In the EEI domain, the National Academy of Engineering launched the Frontiers of Engineering Education (FOEE) symposium and NSF re...

Innovation is about doing useful things differently: converting novel ideas and methods into solutions that meet new needs, or adding significant value to established products and services. In engineering education, new technological and practice requirements necessitate curriculum innovation, while innovation in educational practice can improve students’ learning and faculty productivity. Most...

This paper presents an education framework to effectively develop crucial software engineering skills in students of the Telematics/Network Engineering curriculum at the Klagenfurt University of Applied Sciences. In order to establish such abilities we first lay a rather traditional lecture/lab-based foundation. On this grounds, a carefully designed project-centered approach bridges the gap bet...

Based on the old but famous distinction between"in the small"and"in the large"software development, at Nancy Universit\'e, UHP Nancy 1, we experience for a while software engineering education thanks to actual project engineering. This education method has the merit to enable students to discover and to overcome actual problems when faced to a large project which may be conducted by a large dev...
