چکیده
This paper discusses the use of conceptual structures in the design of computer-based assessment (CBA) tools for e-assessment of programming exercises. In STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) subjects, universities often observe high dropout and failure rates among the first year students. There are a number of research initiatives that investigate the use of interactive teaching methods and e-learning technologies for improving STEM education. This paper presents a conceptual model of programming exercises and discusses more generally how conceptual structures can be employed for the implementa-

DESIGN OPTIMIZATION OF RC FRAMES UNDER EARTHQUAKE LOADS
This paper deals with the optimization of reinforced concrete (RC) structures under earthquake loads by introducing a simple methodology. One of the most important problems in the design of RC structures is the existing of various design scenarios that all of them satisfy design constraints. Despite of the steel structures, a large number of design candidates due to a large number of design var...
