Abstract
This paper describes hands-on activities that reinforce complex structural design principles. Two courses taught in different programs use simple, physical modeling to reinforce concepts taught in traditional lecture and case study/example sessions. These "laboratory sessions" are designed to respond to diverse learning styles, and to reinforce haptically (feeling by touch, rather than seeing, O.E.D.) ideas that are brought forward in lecture sessions.
