Today’s society is growing, moving, pushing and pulling in so many different directions. Society has moved from the invention of electricity in the 1800’s to the invention of the iPhone, which has changed the way we use, and perceive technology today. The survival of an architectural student depends on being able to communicate multiple drawings, graphics, images, diagrams and more in the most productive method. Each phase in design requires a clear and concise conversation between the designer and the observer. Schematic Designs generate some of the most creative ideas during a projects progression. With this understood, this section of …

Smartphones are becoming a vehicle to provide an efficient and convenient way toaccess, find and share information; however, the availability of this information hascaused an increase in cyber attacks. Currently, cyber threats range from Trojans andviruses to botnets and toolkits. Presently, 96% of smartphones do not have pre-installedsecurity software. This lack in security is an opportunity for malicious cyber attackers to hackinto the various devices that are popular (i.e. Android, iPhone and Blackberry). Traditionalsecurity software found in personal computers (PCs), such as firewalls, antivirus, andencryption, is not currently available in smartphones. Moreover, smartphones are even morevulnerable than personal computers because …

As costs around the world continue to rise for education, institutions must become innovative in the ways they teach and grow students. To do this effectively, professors and administrative staff should push toward the utilization of Open Source Software (OSS) and virtual tools to enhance or supplement currently available tools. In developing countries, OSS applications would allow students the ability to learn critical technological skills for success at small fraction of the cost. OSS also provides faculty members the ability to dissect source code and prepare students for low-level software development. It is critical that all institutions look at alternatives …
