title = "Introducing modern teaching into a classic course on structural art",
abstract = "This paper illustrates how a classic course on structural engineering can be enhanced with modern teaching methods (active learning exercises) to enhance a student's comprehension. The course emphasizes that design creativity involves both discipline and play, where discipline is related to 'technical skills' and play is related to 'soft skills' such as aesthetic sensitivity. The modern enhancements reinforce this concept and also retain a student's comprehension of the subject.",
