Page 22.823.2In this paper, quantitative spatial reasoning test results and qualitative data of students‘perception of a model project will be presented. This study is a follow-up to the author‘s studyof the use of visual aids in classrooms that are not supplemented with a laboratory component forhands-on learning.Background:Spatial reasoning is ―the mental manipulation of objects and their parts in 2D and 3D space.‖1 Ithas also been defined as concerning the locations of objects, their shapers, their relations to eachother, and the paths they take as they move.2 Research has shown
difficult challenge. A key questionhas been the size or number of units of the proposed course as the course had to fit into eachdepartment’s existing curriculum. Because the ABET accreditation criteria for engineeringprograms 1 requires that every student be able to function on multi-disciplinary teams, a largeenrollment default course was needed. A five unit studio laboratory during a single quarter wasultimately chosen for the new course. The change and approval process was easiest for ARCHbecause it fit within their existing curriculum structure, no curriculum changes or faculty votewere required. The CM department was already in the process of a major curriculum renovationwhich involved a transition to studio labs, so making this new course

ormarketing students3,4 and some interdisciplinary courses are focused on the design andconstruction disciplines and include architecture and construction management students as wellas engineering students5,6,7. However the literature on these courses is of limited relevance andprovides limited guidance. Although the courses described in this paper have aninterdisciplinary component, they are not really interdisciplinary. They teach structuralengineering skills and principals to non-engineering (ARCH and CM) students but do notcontain the content of multiple disciplines and do not function as interdisciplinary courses.Saliklis, et al describe the different curriculum approaches typically employed for architecturaland engineering programs8.

Paper ID #10120Investigation of Digital Three-Dimensional Representation: Results of a Faculty-Undergraduate Student Engagement GrantMs. Shahnaz J. Aly, Western Kentucky University Shahnaz Aly, LEED AP, M. Arch. is a Registered Architect in India and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Architectural and Manufacturing Sciences at Western Kentucky University. She has ten years of professional experience in the architecture and construction industry in residential, commercial and mixed-use projects. She has five years of experience in teaching and research in areas of architectural design, sustainable design
of these programs. Five majorgroups of courses are discussed: mathematics and science, general education, architecture, other,and engineering coursework. The analysis reveals what is, or is not, being covered inarchitectural engineering and the implications for future professional practice. The paperdiscusses the two approaches to teaching architectural engineering (from the architecture schoolsand from engineering schools), how well curricula satisfy ABET accreditation criteria, and whatthe current distribution of coursework indicates is the priority of architectural engineeringeducation. Like many other disciplines, it is apparent that the current architectural engineeringcurriculum is highly specialized when it comes to technical subjects

The modules will be continually improved and expanded based on student feedback.Students at Illinois’ Product Dissection Laboratory have already started using the tutorials, andthus far their feedback has been positive and very useful.Hopefully, this educational content will play a role in fostering future multi-disciplinary courses,research, and academic programs related to energy efficient and sustainable building. Whilethey are a small step, they are a step in the right direction – and a direction where students areleading the charge.Bibliography1. Building Energy Software Tools Directory.
