TheARCE program is somewhat unique since students complete three capstone design courses, onecourse in each of the major structural building materials (concrete, steel, wood and masonry) inaddition to their capstone senior project. The performance of the capstone senior project occursduring one academic quarter (11 weeks). However, students are required to complete theirproject planning and

They could also compare their design proposals with their peers by evaluating the forcepolygons of similar systems drawn to the same scale. Another benefit of the graphical method isits usefulness in revising proposed forms for structures. The students can use the force polygonsgenerated to increase the efficiency of their designs by manipulating the form diagrams and Page 15.616.4corresponding force polygon.

Housed in the College of Architecture andEnvironmental Design, ARCE resides with the departments of Architecture (ARCH),Construction Management (CM), Landscape Architecture, and City and Regional Planning. Thecollege has a 60 year tradition of collaboration between the engineering, architecture andconstruction disciplines. Several decades ago, all students in the college took a common twoyear curriculum prior to separating into their respective disciplines. Although that model nolonger exists, there is a commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration at the lower division level.ARCE students take three architecture studios side

The second question of how to assess is more problematic andrepresents the very nature of the dilemma. This is because design assessment is based on severalfactors including: past experience with this type of problem, comparing several projects incontext and measuring particular aspects of performance. All of these factors are usually verylimited or unknown in independent student design competitions where only one solution isproduced. This paper will offer a case study on these two important issues of what and how toassess from the experience of competing in an independent student design competition. It willmap out a

These construction details,or working drawings, were included because they typically show how the parts of the buildingscan be built. The plans and elevations were imported into Revit Architecture and then used tocreate an outline to generate the general layout of the building as it would have been placed insitu.
