For instance, some recent entries on theAmerican Institute of Architects and American Society for Heating, Refrigeration & AirConditioning Engineers included: Page 15.1066.7 Integrated Practice/Integrated Project Delivery (IP/IPD) leverages early

the CurriculumIn order to further this effort we needed to incorporate LEED and other ‘green building’ conceptsinto architectural and construction curriculum. While many programs have introducedenvironmental sustainability lecture courses into the curriculum, we have decided to makesustainability central to the mission of our upper level design classes. It is through problemsolving design projects that students best learn to research, understand, analyze, and apply theirknowledge of sustainable concepts. More than ever, leading design and construction firms arelooking for recent graduates that can help them create the environmentally sensitive buildings thepublic demands.This new focus on building better buildings has meant great potential

structuring twopairings, one of 'architecture and engineering' and the other of 'practice and the academy',significant dimensions could be added to the Rensselaer education of an architect and anengineer; dimensions that would have strategic impact on both the perspectives and practices ofRensselaer graduates. Such initiatives are not new. Modern era joint architecture andengineering educational initiatives have been pursued as far back as the 1970's when TedHappold, founder of Buro Happold, directed the interdisciplinary program for architecture andcivil engineering at the University of Bath which was successful in producing a generation ofcreative architects and innovative building engineers.2Components and History of the Bedford ProgramThe Bedford
