This approach is student-centered, and it fostersintegrative learning and performance-based assessment; thus, it shows a significant potential toimprove CM pedagogy and develop students’ soft skills [6]. A similar vertically integrativeproblem-based learning framework was implemented between undergraduate CM students andgraduate civil engineering students at Arizona State University in a face to face environment;through such learning framework, students’ soft skills improved, as well as their intent to pursuean advanced degree and to stay in the major [7]. Such an integrative approach has also beenfound to be effective in other studies

ARCE curriculum requires upper-division students to complete three structural design labcourses on steel, timber/masonry, and concrete. In each, students have a culminating projectwhere they assemble a complete calculation and drawing package for an assigned building; thesesubmittals often involve 2-3 students and hundreds of pages of documents. The ARCE 451faculty elected to grade student submittals in Bluebeam (a tool utilized in the industry review andpermitting process) to provide feedback to the students. Adopting this grading methodologymeant that hardcopy paper student submittals were replaced by PDF files containing drawingsand scans of hand calculations, which the students organized in Bluebeam and then uploaded toPolyLearn.Student

desired program outcomes will also be outlined.2.0 Curriculum OverviewFigure 1 presents an overview of the new architectural engineering program. Highlights of thisprogram include the following: 1) the students alternate between academic and coop work terms,with the exception of having two back-to-back academic terms in their fourth year; 2) each termfeatures a studio course – as mentioned earlier, each of these courses will involve the planningand execution of a series of design projects that integrate and put into practice concepts coveredin the other courses the students will be taking; 3) the core courses in the first two years are builton the established civil, environmental, and geological engineering programs at the sameinstitution, and

architectural design course is one of two design options offered by theconstruction division, and has been taught since 1990. Moreover, the construction engineeringdiscipline is the integrating element of this program curriculum (see [7] for more background).Over the years, both architects and civil engineers have taught the course. The ArchitecturalDesign course replaced an older architectural drafting course and focused on residential designfrom 1990-2014. Students designed a house for a client or their future selves as a vehicle tolearn computer-aided drafting (CAD). As CAD programs evolved and became more powerful,the students were able to create more elaborate and often unrealistic “dream houses” in a singlesemester.While the course was very

) proposed a Universal Architecture Curriculum that combinedtopics in outer space and terrestrial architecture to benefit both disciplines.Architecture curriculum is rapidly evolving due to advancements in fabrication technologies andblurring of disciplinary boundaries. The scope for space architecture within terrestrial architecturalcurriculum has only gained more valence. In this spirit, the education of future space architectsand engineers may be best achieved by infusing existing architecture and architectural engineering(AE) programs with a degree or specialization in OSA. This paper provides the motivation andimportance of integrating OSA in architecture and AE curricula. The author expects to supplementthis paper in future with academic

Key Words: BIM, Engineering, Construction, CurriculumIntroductionBuilding information modeling (BIM) has increased at an exponential rate over the past decadein the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. BIM adoption has steadilyincreased since 2007; according to McGraw-Hill Construction’s Smart Market Report [1], 17%of AEC industry utilized BIM software systems in 2007, 49% in 2009, and 71% in 2012.

, andreduced performance and the extent of litigation in the construction industry illustrates the levelof distrust. At the same time, market forces are demanding significant performanceimprovements. Collaborative project delivery systems now account for more than 50 percent ofall construction projects as compared to 10-15 percent twenty years ago.19 However, thesecollaborative project delivery systems alone do not ensure long term, sustainable collaboration.Increasingly, the amount of litigation in the area of Design-Build signals an underlying difficultyin establishing true collaborations within the context of contractually organized and controlleddelivery methods. Despite the integration of more collaborative contracts into IPD projects,successful

This wasthe first time the students encountered an authentic problem, which is a key component of PBL[4]. In this problem-solving process, faculty from the Department of Urban Horticulture &Design played a role as the consultants who provided input on a crop plan and planting schedule.This session helped the students to determine the location of vegetation, form, and orientation ofthe structure based on the solar exposure, sun path, circulation, and accessibility of the user.

Meyer shows the implementation of this strategy in a steel course by fabricating steelconnections from 1/8” thick plate and loading them to failure.

[5] Stahl’s paper also transparently outlined the numerousresources in both time and money that are required for such an instructional strategy.
