Advancing Critical Building Code Education through Modularized Lectures

Abstract

His research interests include: integrated structural design methodologies and processes; Innovative methods for enhancing engineering education; and high performing wall enclosures. These three areas look towards the next generation of building engineering, including how systems are selected, configured and designed.

Teaching Post-Tension Concrete Design: Leveraging Practical Industry Expertise

“…Barriers to properly teaching code intent largely stem from faculty inexperience with appropriate design codes/standards and/or professional practice limitations [21]. Due to this, important provisions may be skimmed over or left out, or replaced by other work, and/or less stringent enforcement of provisions that need deeper understanding [22,23]. Even the NCSEA's survey results limitedly list code understanding in the topical lists (Table 1).…”
