Publication Open Access Working with Mathematical Tools for Generating Complex Surfaces(2012) Erkan Yazıcı, Yasemin; YAZICI, GÖKHAN; 112309; 140840This paper presents the findings of a workshop conducted with the undergraduate students of architecture at the Istanbul Kultur University within the “Form and Geometry”course. The main aim of the workshop was to inform the students on the ways of working with mathematical tools for generating complex surfaces. Matlab was chosen as the mathematical tool for this workshop due to its ease of plotting curved surfaces. After a brief introduction to the user interface and plotting features of Matlab, students were given the task of generating a hyperbolic paraboloid surface. Afterwards, the students were asked to experiment with their model and observe the effect of the change in the parameters on the model geometry. Finally, the students were shown how to export the generated surface to a DXF file and asked to import the surface model to Autocad. The workshop was concluded with a group discussion on the views of participating students on using mathematical tools together with CAD tools to generate complex surfaces and the difficulties they have experienced throughout the exercise.Publication Embargo An Evaluation of the Academic Performance of Students Enrolled in the Double Major Programmes of Architecture and Civil Engineering(2012-04) Erkan Yazıcı, Yasemin; YAZICI, GÖKHAN; 112309; 140840Double major programs allow students to simultaneously obtain diplomas in two related academic programs by satisfying their graduation requirements. Students of architecture and civil engineering at the Istanbul Kultur University can apply for the double major program between the third and fifth semesters of their undergraduate education providing their GPAs are at least 3.00 out of 4.00 and they need to maintain their GPAs above 3.00 to continue the double major program. Although all double major programs are demanding and require keen interest of the students, the double major program is particularly challenging due to the differences in educational models used in engineering and architecture. Engineering education largely depends on classroom teaching and laboratory work whereas the architectural education is centered on the design studios. This paper attempts to evaluate the academic performance of civil engineering and architecture students enrolled in the double major program at the Istanbul Kultur University and outline the challenges of a double major program of engineering and architecture.Publication Embargo A Learning by Doing Approach in the Delivery of Structural Engineering Courses of Architecture(2013-04) Erkan Yazıcı, Yasemin; YAZICI, GÖKHAN; 140840; 112309A through understanding of the principles of structural system design is particularly important for architects practising in Turkey where over 90 percent of the population reside in seismically active regions and the structures built must withstand the damaging effects of severe earthquakes. However there are problems incorporating the classroom based structural engineering courses into architectural design curriculums which are largely centered on the architectural design studio. The students of architecture are accustomed to the “learning by doing” approach used in the design studio and have a hard time adjusting to the classroom delivery of structural engineering lectures which largely use mathematical abstraction to communicate concepts of physics. This paper presents the findings of a study conducted at the Faculty of Architecture of Istanbul Kultur University to investigate the use of a “learning by doing” approach at the Building Mechanics course to increase the motivation and the academic performance of students.Publication Embargo The use of finite element analysis applications in architectural education(2019) Erkan Yazıcı, Yasemin; YAZICI, GÖKHANArchitectural design is a complex process and architects are continuously required to draw and analyze resources from various disciplines in their design decision making processes. Architects commonly refer to “rules of thumb”, originating from previous design experiences to deal with design issues involving engineering analysis, since the formulation and analysis of the engineering problem is usually quite rigorous. The problem with this approach is that these rules of thumb may not be appropriate to the design problem at hand. Recent advancements in computer aided design, finite element analysis software and building information modeling paved the way for “integrated design”, where architects and engineers work simultaneously throughout the design process. This paper reports two case studies which use finite element analysis software (ANSYS) to enhance the architectural design process. This paper also investigates the ways this approach can be applied more extensively in architectural design education.Publication Open Access The Effect of Learning Styles on the Performance of Architecture Students in Structural Design Courses(Siyasal Kitabevi, Ankara, Turkey, 2011) Erkan Yazıcı, Yasemin; YAZICI, GÖKHAN; 112309; 140840Every student has a prefered way of perceiving, interacting with, and responding to the learning environment. Instructors can use the information regarding the learning styles to shape their teaching approaches in order to enhance the performance of their students. This paper presents the findings of a study carried out at the Department of Architecture of Istanbul Kultur University to investigate the impact of learning styles on the performance of architecture students in structural design courses. Learning styles of 53 architecture students were assessed with the Kolb’s Learning Style Inventory (K-LSI). Academic performance of these students in mechanics and strength of materials courses were compared with their learning styles. It was observed that the academic performance of the students were consistent with their learning styles
