addressed student learning and exposure to re-search while concurrently addressing energy conservation. The collaborative project allowedthe expertise of University of Nebraska professors and students to be utilized in combinationwith the Omaha Public Power District’s (OPPD) financial and customer base support. Therelationships built enriched student learning by providing real world engineering experiences.The students refined their research, communication, and presentation skills by interactingwith and presenting engineering solutions to a wide range of professionals, engineering stu-dents, and the community. The students worked closely with professors to prepare profes-sional documents, analyze data, and develop future research plans. Student

, design, construction and urban planning to, incrementally, revise thebuilding delivery system used for affordable housing and making it more efficient, sustainableand affordable. Through this prolonged address, these students were able to bring together theefficiencies and supports of traditional construction with those offered by emerging materials andprocesses, including digital fabrication and parametric data analysis. The first home,HOUSE01, will be completed in the spring of 2017. Although not yet complete, early evidencesare promising: the current bid for the construction cost of the kitchen and 1.5 baths forHOUSE01 is $10,000, roughly $17,000 less than the average cost of similarly scaled homes; thecurrent schedule of production indicates

architectural technology varies from the perfunctory to the pervasive. Nevertheless, it’s fair to suggest that each school of architecture in North America is defined by its choice among the variables of teaching architectural technology.”1This observation suggests that the issue of technology teaching for architecture students is notgiven significant weight in academic discourse. Further weight is leant to this argument by Cary’sreflection in a 2003 Design Intelligence article about that publication’s planned Skills Assessmentsurvey. He notes the relative paucity of longitudinal studies of architecture students’ professionalpreparedness. “If these were unprecedented findings or if individual schools, firms or our national

concepts they have acquired. The goal of thelab is to reinforce the material covered in the classroom and to develop an understanding ofbuilding power system design and effective production and design methods. At the beginning ofthe semester, the class is presented with preliminary plans for a building previously designed bythe industry professional dictating the lab. Students are then asked to complete a series of designtasks each week in the order they would occur in a professional environment. Each week thestudents are issued a set of drawings and necessary information to complete the task. They areasked to analyze, design and document their results and show their designs on the drawingsproviding all information pertinent to a practical and

Clay Bedford had a distinguishedcareer with Kaiser Industries where he rose to become President of Kaiser Aerospace andElectronics Corporation. At Kaiser, he played major roles in a number of large-scaleconstruction projects including the Boulder, Grand Coulee, and Bonneville Dams. He
