The group was made up of students from the following majors. • Architectural Engineering (10 students) • Architecture (1 student) • Art (2 students) • Horticulture and Crop Science (3 students)The project was a capstone class, thus the focus was for the students to draw upon their entireengineering education, as opposed to learning specific new skills or topics. The pedagogy was touse the experience itself to educate, as opposed to a classroom and text book. In using theexperience for

design method based on Swarm Intelligence [SI]. SI is, basically, anArtificial Intelligence [AI] method consisting of agents interacting locally with one another and with their en-vironment similarly to the way fish interact in a swarm and birds in a flock.In the absence of top-down control dictating how individual agents should behave, local interactions betweenagents lead to the bottom-up emergence of global behavior. The rules according to which agents interact aresimple: C. Reynolds' flocking simulation, for instance, is based on three rules according to which digital birdsflock – [1] maintain a minimum distance from neighbors, [2] match velocity with neighbors and [3] move to-wards the center of the swarm. While these rules are local

ProgramsBecause there are so few AE programs, many incoming students are confused about the major andhow it differs from Architecture or Civil Engineering. Architectural Engineering involves theengineering design, construction and operation of safe, functional, efficient, economical, aesthetically-pleasing buildings. AE deals with all engineering aspects of a building’s performance that support thearchitectural and functional requirements. These engineering aspects commonly include structuralsystems; mechanical systems such as heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and plumbing; electricalsystems such as lighting, power distribution, control and communications; and other systems such asacoustics and fire safety.Table 1 shows a listing of the 17

Finally, one ofthe research projects will be highlighted, with the goal of demonstrating how the student wasmotivated, and how the project was guided.The “Green” MotivatorGreen projects can spur student interest in doing research. Several recent studies found that thegreen theme was an excellent motivator to encourage undergraduates to undertake a researchproject. For example, Jahan 1 found that a green study was a launching point to inspire studentsto do research and for some, to ultimately pursue advanced degrees. Flynn et al. 2 haveincorporated green research aspects into many of their classes because of the intense studententhusiasm for

Introduction: P3 CompetitionThe P3 Competition is a national student sustainable design competition sponsored by the EPA(U.S. Environmental Protection Agency). It is a competition to the benefit of People, Prosperity,and the Planet (P3). One of the competition’s primary goals is to disseminate the concept ofsustainable design in higher education, which subsequently makes it an appropriate vehicle forintroducing interdisciplinary design to university students.The authors of this paper agree with the understanding of sustainability as a “design approach”1,which is

Also, the National Council ofExaminers for Engineering and Surveying has recently added a professional engineering licensingexam in the area of architectural engineering.

As stated by Viollet-le-Duc, “Themeans of healing this rupture could only be an education in which the architect is taughtengineering as well as art, and, optimally, the engineer learns how to practice his craft withappropriate artistry.” 1 Viollet’s theories are easily applicable to present day, because the basis ofhis ideas calls for the incorporation of new technologies and new materials into architecturaldesign. “A little reflection will show us the interests of the two professions will be best saved by their union…Whether the engineer acquires a little of our knowledge and love for artistic

drawing conventions, fundamental ordering systems, visual principles, and design processesthat must be introduced to the beginning architectural engineering student are abstract and can bedifficult to teach. As design is a process which follows no set path but conforms to the mannerin which attitudes, abilities, and prejudices influence creative thought, every architect andarchitectural engineer approaches and solves a problem uniquely. “In particular, the view that adesigner takes of his role in society, and the function and reason for his work are crucial to anyreal understanding of the process he employs”1. For beginning design and engineering students,this non-linear process can be confusing and frustrating.Francis Ching, noted architectural

There are two importantissues facing the mentoring faculty: (1) what exactly does one assess and, (2) how does oneassess it? The first question of what to assess, is related to the quality of the design process used.Since

c American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 Contextual Learning Concepts Drive Architectural Education to Partner with IndustryIntroductionThe field of architecture is people oriented, which cannot be practiced in isolation. From conceptto completion the focus is always on the end user. According to Gutman, buildings are objects ofuse apart from being objects of pleasure [1]. Architecture is so essentially a social art that noarchitect can talk about his (or her) medium or about his (or her) schemes without reference tohow they will be used by people [1]. Once the idea for a facility has been conceptualized, thedesigner begins to conceptualize solutions for that particular structure, while taking
