Responses were collected across 52 closedand eight open-ended items to gain an industry perspective on the relative importance of coursetopics in the curriculum, the selection of Architectural Engineering (AE) degree concentrationoptions, the format of graduate degree capstone projects, and the factors that AE&C employersconsider when hiring graduates and experienced employees. The curriculum changes inspired bythis survey are presented together alongside the program’s previous AE curriculum to morethoroughly characterize the program attributes that are desired by the AE&C industry.IntroductionThe Architectural Engineering (AE) program considered in this study is at the

This designproject has given students more of a connection to engineering work and provides a strongfoundation for developing an engineering identity. This is further enhanced through the use of amakerspace environment which enables students to fabricate, inspect, and iterate their designs.The measurable outcomes for the current project will focus on student engagement and perceivedlearning gains. The results of a survey measuring students’ perspectives on the value of thecourse project work on their learning will be presented. The objective of this paper is todisseminate

in the paper. The rationale for the tiger team was the observation overmany years of a capstone class that as projects are functionally decomposed and subsystemsassigned to individual students, a not insignificant fraction of students become “stuck” at somepoint in time – the concept of “stuckness” is further derived in the full paper. The result is that ifdelays accumulate on critical parts of the project, teams often struggle to get the project back ontrack and end up with a cascading series of missed deadlines. The rationale for the tiger team isto help teams identify when parts of the project are getting behind schedule and to haveadditional, short-term help available.In the initial implementation described here, the tiger team was two
