His expertise extends to projects that focus on student STEM education and research including Oakland University Engineering Center, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, and Michigan State University Plant Sciences. As a practitioner within a large multidisciplinary design firm, Paul is a designer who understands the interrelationships between building and art. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017Remaking theEngineering Building:Facility Design Best Practices1.

Based on this impact, the design, creation, and maintenance of the builtenvironment presents both challenges and opportunities for design professionals. Sustainabledesign and green design have become everyday terminology in the design field and involve usingmethods and products that cause the lowest possible impact upon the ability of the naturalenvironment to maintain its natural balance. However, the practice of sustainable design can bedifficult and

occupy the center of schools’ curricula. Architecture studentswho do study seismic design tend to do so in the context of learning aboutstructural systems—an aspect of design that is primarily the responsibility ofengineers and do not study aspects of seismic design, related to non-structuralsystems or site planning--areas that are primarily the responsibility of architects.Even though the professional practice of architecture increasingly crosses nationaland international borders, regionalism prevails at schools of architecture,particularly in the design studio component of student experience. Most studentsdo not have the opportunity to undertake a design project that address naturalhazards that are not prevalent in their region.The need for

concepts are taught with passive lecturesand “recipe” labs. A balance must be provided between engineering science andengineering practice to prepare students for the real world. This preparation is alreadyunderway in the architectural engineering (AE) field at some universities. To build onthis foundation, in the electrical and lighting option within AE, developing a relationshipbetween the academic community and the electrical construction industry will helpbridge the gap between fundamental engineering principles and practical installationexperience. This relationship is currently being implemented between the NationalElectrical Contractors Association (NECA), its research foundation ELECTRIInternational (EI), and AE students at the University

and involvement in research, the students have improved their ability tocritically and creatively think about problems and develop solutions, orally communicateideas and concerns, and prepare technical documents.Students gained practical experience conducting research that complements their fundamen-tal engineering learning. The students evaluated and physically tested a wide range of visualand digital display devices available in the local and international market. A part of the test-ing process included the design and development of a display board. It replicated a typicalresidential electrical system, and consisted of a utility power meter, load center and variousresidential loads (Figure 1). Students applied the NEC Code in wiring the

technologies.This paper represents an extension of work in relation to a graduate level design studio recentlytaught at Georgia Tech with the aim of presenting more complex definitions and uses of ecologyin architectural practice as a complement to the science behind the environment. Ultimately, theideas and strategies described here hold potential for new forms of relationship between people,place, material and earth. The paper is organized into two parts. The first part identifies threemajor concerns: 1) the current predicament of peak global oil production; 2) the re-occurringproblems associated with the mind-set separation of culture and nature; and 3) the untappedpotential between ecology, creativity, and architecture. The second part places these

Prior to joining the faculty at Syracuse, Bess was a HASS Fellow at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s Center for Architecture Science and Ecology (CASE), where she received her Ph.D. in Architectural Sciences. She has practiced with Lubrano Ciavarra Architects and with Skidmore, Owings, & Merrill (SOM) on the design of international projects that integrate next-generation building technologies. Bess teaches technical and design courses focused on the integration of building systems, environmental data, and user feedback loops into design processes.

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
