Prior to his actual position, he was an Associate Professor at University of Wyoming (UW) and prior to that he was an Assistant Professor and the Director of the AE Program at Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT). He participated significantly to the development of the current architectural engineering undergraduate and master’s programs at IIT. During his stay at IIT, he taught thermal and fluids engineering (thermody- namics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics), building sciences, physical performance of buildings, building enclosure, as well as design courses, such as HVAC, energy

As the class continues tomature the learning experience for the students will continue to improve setting the students on apositive course towards Integrated Project Delivery.Bibliography1 “Criteria for Accrediting Engineering Programs,” Effective for Evaluations During the 2009-2010 AccreditationCycle, Engineering Accreditation Commission, Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, ABET, Inc.,Baltimore, Maryland, 2009.2 A Guide to the Project Management Body of

In this context a humble but importantrole of western designers may be to structure the project so that such experimental methodscould be unleashed. Such method could render the existing binaries (West and non-West, pastand present, field and home) obsolete and generate instead a new forum based on commonpolitical aspirations. Fieldwork that is capable of creating such a forum could further the roles ofarchitectural and engineering education.1 Formerly Kigali Institute of Science and Technology until 3013.2 See for instance Ewing, S. et al, eds.

Most universityprofessors discourage students from engaging in plagiarism on the grounds that the practice isfraudulent and deceptive, involves the theft of intellectual property, and ‘conceals andmisrepresents the originality of the true author’ (Clough, 2003).This article is based on a study conducted in a university for the Departments of CivilEngineering, Civil Engineering Technology, Architecture and Construction Management atSPSU.

Hedges, Drury University Keith Hedges is an Assistant Professor of Architecture and teaches the architectural structures sequence at Drury University. Keith’s teaching repertoire includes seventeen different courses of engineering topics at NAAB (architecture) and architecture topics at ABET (engineering) accredited institutions. His interests involve the disciplinary knowledge gap between architecture and engineering students in higher education
industrypartners and student site visits were very helpful in delivering the course concepts to thestudents. It was important not to repeat material covered in the prerequisites but to build on theprerequisites as a means of determining best option based on economy, easy of construction andenvironmental issues.As engineering educators, faculty should not be afraid to introduce new courses or modify theexisting courses to reflect the ever changing technology and society needs.Bibliography 1.

In order to uncover the different value systems hidden in different disciplines,and to determine how it affects sustainable design judgment, an experimental exercise wasdesigned in the course of construction technology education. An urbanized eco-tourism hillpath design near Taipei 101 was designated as the exercise topic, and the team’s membersengaged in the exercise came from different disciplines included: landscape architecture, urbandesign, and civil engineering. Results of the exercise showed that there are two driving forcesrelated to the value judging base: recreation needs and ecological concerns of environmentalbio-diversity, which affected the engineering design
