tasks as we embark on our effort to establish a ConstructionManagement (CM) Track within our Architectural Engineering Technology (AET) Program.CM Track: Research and develop a track for architecture students interested in pursuing a CM track and careers in a more construction related capacity.CM Track Curriculum: Research and develop the curriculum for the CM track students without jeopardizing our ABET and NAAB accreditations.CM Track Advisor: Advise undergraduate students on CM track. Help CM track students find employment and/or pursue graduate study in construction.CM Track Clubs and Organizations: Encourage and coordinate student involvement in Construction related organizations and clubs, example: Construction Institute (CI) and

help qualified highschool students and unemployed workers find their paths to high-demand jobs in Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics in Central Indiana. It is a highly ambitious three-year initiative that will impact STEM industries throughout the state. 1The initiative aims to serve approximately 400 displaced workers and 100 disadvantagedstudents. Priority will be given to African American and Hispanic/Latino high school studentswho are enrolled in Indianapolis Public Schools and the Central Nine Career Center.In order to better serve those individuals with STEM interests, STEMWorks Indiana created the“STEM Centers of Excellence.” In these strategically selected locations (three major WorkOneCenters and two area high schools

professionals doubtless learn a great deal about each other’s professionsover the course of a career. There is however, a clear disconnect between the two groupsin their training. Engineering students are not exposed to the history of their disciple andindeed are relatively rarely exposed to real structures either in the classroom or on sitevisits. A traditional engineering education focuses on technical skill building and onlearning to solve specific, bounded, and isolated problems in a series of early courseswhereas synthesis of those skills to solve a complex design problem usually comes late inthe undergraduate student career. The engineering teaching paradigm divides complexproblems into many pieces which students are then taught to solve

construction where undergraduates are mostlikely to cheat in colleges. Most professional organizations are trying to address the issues byincluding strict professional guidelines. Recently the American Association of EngineeringSociety (AAES), an umbrella organization of eleven engineering organizations summarized theirprofessional codes and giving more importance on ethics. That is one of the reasons ethics isbecoming an essential part of professional education because it helps students deal with issuesthey will face in professional practice. The best way to teach ethics is by using cases—not justthe negative cases that make the news, but the kinds of cases that an engineer or contractor ismost likely to encounter in their professional career

significant difference between the capacity of studentengineers and engineering practitioners in “problem scoping” and “informationgathering” at the start of a design project, and argue that engineering students wouldbenefit from teaching methods designed to model that process for them.1 In the 1990sfirst-year design courses were widely introduced in engineering programs in an attempt tointroduce students to the nature of their chosen profession earlier in their college careers.2Dym et al identify a host of institutions (Harvey Mudd, Purdue, Northwestern, PennState, Colorado School of the Mines, University of Alabama, Columbia, Cooper Union,Drexel, NJIT, Ohio State, Polytechnic South Carolina, USC, Carnegie Mellon, Universityof Colorado at Boulder

2011 ASEE Annual ConferenceConclusions:The architectural Engineering Program curriculum at University of Wyoming has beenimproved. This paper describe how students are prepared for a professional career and furtherstudy in the discipline through the curriculum and indicate how the curriculum is consistentwith the Program Educational Objectives and Program Outcomes.We summarized the process by which student performance will be evaluated and studentprogress is monitored. Our objective is to expose students to organized teaching andcomplementary professors. The first style is oriented toward mechanical engineering students,where emphasis is placed on the theory and fundamentals of thermodynamics with anexposure to “design”, with emphasis on real

This paper was also created to documentthe educational model of the research assistants, and help define an educational curriculum thatwill lead to a career of successful integrated design by architectural, mechanical, and electricalengineers of the future. Page 22.1629.4 The following seven constructs serve to provide a more thorough description ofintegrated design as practiced and promoted by the Pacific Northwest Univeristy IntegratedDesign Lab Network. They are also useful as evaluation criteria for the design team and designprocess with regard to its level of
