Abstract:
With the rapid development of urbanization and the proposal of "marine economy demonstration area" and "coastal economic zone", dramatic changes different from the past have taken place in the spatial structure of coastal cities. This paper selected more than 30 coastal cities of China as study object, which are typical in coastal city cluster and witness a relatively rapid development of urbanization. From the angels of external form, function layout and internal space, it discussed the general characteristics of spatial structure evolution of coastal cities in the stage of rapid urbanization. It not only contributed to the cognition of spatial development trend of coastal cities, but also provided a theoretical basis and support for the prevention of urban problems and disasters caused by spatial structure evolution.

Abstract:
Structural design competition has become one of the most influential professional science and technology events for civil engineering students.Civil engineering students' application ability of professional knowledge could be assessed by this competition, thereby the feedback function of the competition are performed. According to the corresponding points of the structural design competition and professional courses, the professional course feedback index system was built.The questionnaire survey was designed based on the feedback index system. Based on the analysis of survey data of two years' school competition and the entity models submitted by students, the effect of students' application ability of professional knowledge was assessed, and then the results were reflected to the related course group. The research provided a quantitative basis for curriculum reform, meanwhile provided innovative ideas for the healthy development of students' subject competitions.

[Abstract](874) [HTML](348) [PDF 1.57 M](1446)

Abstract:
In order to improve the engineering consciousness and collaborative innovation spirit of civil construction students, engineering graphical teaching staff should pay more attention to cultivating the graphics expression, team collaboration and engineering design ability of students. Combined with the teaching situation of traditional architectural drawing and design courses, based on the CDIO education concept and its characteristics, a new teaching mode was built and different teaching methods were used at different stages. The results showed that the new system can enhance the ability of space thinking, design innovation and practice of students. It also played a good role model for deepening the engineering graphics teaching reform.

Abstract:
BIM (building information modeling) technology not only has great practical value in the engineering practice, but also has a wide application space in universities' talent training.This paper, taking Shenyang Jianzhu University as an example,discussed the application of BIM in courses such as civil engineering drawing, building architecture, steel structures, project management, and graduation design.Combined with the difficulties Shenyang Jianzhu University faced when integrating BIM technology into the curriculum reform, this paper gave solutions to the difficulties and set forth some achievements. The research showed that, BIM technology could fully be integrated into the teaching of specialized curriculum in architectural universities, and this integration was imperative, and the effect was obvious.

37 Experiment from space construction to technology construction: graduation design focusing on practice and technology integration

[Abstract](1025) [HTML](351) [PDF 511.67 K](831)

Abstract:
Based on the reality of traditional dwellings in Yunnan, to change the traditional expression of graduation design only using drawings or models, this research led students to construction practice and "Really Do". From planning to technical measures in detail, eight students conducted researches from eight different directions on renewal of a particular traditional dwelling and learned the division of work and cooperation in project practice. Students were instructed to study on specific issues combined with local climate and building materials, integrate construction technology into design, so that their design could be put into practice and guide village planning and construction reality.

[Abstract](1005) [HTML](344) [PDF 623.53 K](1147)

Abstract:
There are barriers existing between the cultures and worlds of scientists and journalists. This can affect the good communication of science in the media. One method for overcoming this is through media skills training of scientists. This paper describes a successful method for training scientists developed over the past 12 years in Australia and successfully applied to other countries, including South Africa, New Zealand and the Philippines. The paper shows how these workshops appear to be breaking down the barriers between scientists and journalists and ensuring better communication of science to the general public through the media.
