time to cladding. This would also be valuable. Some additional classroom time and coordination with the architecture practice course might help.ConclusionsARCE 316, Structural Integration in Architecture, was introduced in Spring Quarter 2014.Significant effort was expended in the preparation of the course, including the development ofgoals, learning outcomes and content, frequent consultation and coordination with theArchitecture Department and review by the Architectural Engineering Curriculum Committeeand faculty. The effort paid off. Based on reviews of completed assignments and exams,discussions with architectural faculty and an end-of-quarter student survey the course is believedto have been a success and met its goals

practice but to engineering and engineeringtechnology education as well.Past reports and studies have been prepared by the American Society for Engineering Education(ASEE), the National Academy of Engineers and the American Society Civil Engineers (ASCE)discussed that the changes are needed for improvement of engineering education. Numerousstudies revealed that the engineering curriculum of today still does not provide the foundationnecessary to ensure the engineer’s success in the 21st century. In the past, the skills workersacquired would serve them well for decades. In the 21st century, however, an engineer’s successor a company’s success will be measured against how well they can adapt to new conditions andtechnologies. Thus to remain

19th century” [3]. While computer development began in the 1940s,the CAD industry began to take shape in the 1960s [3], [4]. The use of CAD became widespreadin architectural practice in the 1990s. Initially CAD was mainly used for 2D drafting, “emulatingtraditional hand drafting practices” [3] while at the same time enabling editing and revisions ofdrawings without the need to redo the entire drawing [5]. With advancements in research inindustry as well as universities CAD evolved to 3D using wireframe geometry [3]. Thewidespread use of CAD in industry has led to training in CAD tools becoming an integral part ofarchitecture and engineering curricula.According to Andia, computers affected architectural education in five distinct ways that

While some curricula integrated BIM modules into existing courses, others createdstand-alone BIM courses.2 Here at the University of Washington, we chose to develop a stand-alone elective course entitled Virtual Construction. This class, taught in the ConstructionManagement department, was designed as an elective course in an undergraduate constructioncurriculum. Students from other AEC

architecture. Forthe architecture students it was a first experience in having to request, manage andappropriately integrate outside technical knowledge into their design process, for theengineering students it was their first exposure to the design process and the multifacetedway their highly specific skills are deployed in a real world process. The teaching,evaluation and assessment of the courses represent an opportunity for educators to thinkabout the role of service learning in architecture and engineering education. The Bergcompelled students to integrate technology and structure in the design process, requiredstructural engineers to and as such can be seen as experiments in advancing designpedagogy.BackgroundDesign build, community service and
