It is an ABET accreditation requirement within AE Programs that graduates have a synthesislevel of knowledge in one of the four traditional AE disciplines (HVAC, Lighting/electrical,Construction, or Structural), with appropriate levels of application and comprehension of the otherthree disciplines [30]. Capstones provide excellent mechanisms for developing new leadersamongst the cohort of graduating students in these areas [26,30].Many researchers such as Dutson et al.

Lumion to export a 3D scenario where other learners and professors would have anopportunity to be immersed in the designed environment and then rate their visual perception ofthe space (Figure 4). The space that was selected for students to design was an art gallery andwere required to demonstrate areas of exhibition that had no direct light, which may impact theexhibit. Figure 4: Using the Overcast Sky Simulator to understand critical factors of successful implementation of daylight into the built environmentModule Four Procedures: 1. Students will investigate the effective window placement in an artgallery to create even light distribution in the space, without compromising wall real-estate; 2.Construct a scaled model
