| Fabrication Detailing Part 1 - Construction Management |
This video (in mpg format) provides information on structural steel detailing, which is a specialized type of drafting. Detailers convert engineering drawings to fabrication shop drawings so that the structural steel can be properly cut, cambered, welded, bolted, etc. In addition, the detailers provide important information on connections. |

| Fabrication Detailing Part 2 - Construction Management |
Today, most detailing is performed using expensive and specialized detailing software programs--and many detailers are now using programs that show 3D renderings, which are useful in eliminating interference between the steel and other systems such as ductwork. This video (in mpg format) presentation shows examples of the detailing and fabrication process for a variety of functions, including drilling holes, coping, welding, and camber. |

| Crane Selection and Application |
This teaching aid is intended for use in construction classes to teach the principles that govern crane selection. The major types of cranes are described and critical selection criteria are outlined. The capabilities of two cranes, as they apply to steel erection, are described in detail along with interactive macros to study crane capacity. Detailed examples are developed for evaluating a crane’s ability to complete the erection of a four-story building. Issues involved in selecting the most economical crane for a job are addressed. Jobsite management issues including safety, rigging and foundations are also covered. The PowerPoint presentation includes extensive interactive macros. |

| WEB Enhanced Teaching of Structural Steel |
AISC Web Enhanced Teaching (WET) is a CD with Internet links for current and expanded information. Developed at the University of Kansas with AISC support, the teaching aid for undergraduate steel design courses includes a case study of the design of a three-story steel structure. The main goal of this teaching aid is to provide instructors with a tool to expose students to design of steel building elements in a realistic building context. Educators also can join the AISC WET discussion group to exchange teaching ideas with peers. AISC WET participants also receive the "Educators Tip Sheet", a monthly newsletter with information on teaching aids and how other people have used them.

| Incorporation of Writing Assignments into Steel Design Courses |
This well thought out project shows how assignments based on written review of articles on steel buildings can be used to expand knowledge of the students in steel when taking steel design courses. Through these assignments students have the opportunity to look at how structures behave and to consider alternative designs. The written assignments give students experience in presenting engineering information to both engineers and non-engineers. Via written assignments, this project expands the knowledge of future engineers in steel. |

| Steel Frames |
The Design Studio Case Studies are presented so that the student may learn by analyzing precedent buildings that employ structural steel in aesthetic and creative applications. The three buildings presented in this module have all won AISC - IDEAS Awards (Innovative Design And Excellence in Architecture with Steel). They represent a wide variety of scales, materials and tectonic expression. The projects presented include a 7500 S.F. house in Houston, Texas; a 37,000 S.F. river park complex along the Mississippi River; and a 30,000 S.F. complex at Iowa State University that includes a conservatory and butterfly house. |
