Architecture by its very nature is connected to other disciplines, yet architecturaleducation is often criticized for a lack of integration in the curriculum. By increasing theawareness of the interrelationship between different areas of study, we are attempting to strike anew and more effective

As a result, a research study was conducted to collect datarelated to the use of these technologies in curriculums. More specifically, the study focused onarchitectural engineering curriculums based on two assumptions. First, it is assumed thatarchitectural engineering education emphasizes an integration of both engineering andarchitectural design content, a position supported by review of many AE programs. Second, it isassumed that industry developments such as the GSA mandate will require all disciplinesinvolved in design and construction to utilize

First, the use of building performance simulation provides a horizon uponwhich to ground the design of a building. Too often contemporary architecture students aretaught to exercise unbridled formal ambitions that lack grounding in engineering, costestimation, or constructability. While teaching design is a critical aspect of architecturaleducation, it must be balanced with an approach that grounds architecture within its broaderframework of collaboration. At the more advanced levels of engineering and architecturaleducation, the

The effort paid off. Based on reviews of completed assignments and exams,discussions with architectural faculty and an end-of-quarter student survey the course is believedto have been a success and met its goals

One of the main goals of the curriculum is to “identify and applyintegrated performance metrics and assessment methods and tools,” and it does thismainly through the incorporation of the IES VE6 software. The software plays a criticalrole in the integrated approach of the courses, and provides a flexible, modularsimulation platform with a wide range of simple and advanced analyses. The IES VEsoftware provides an easy to use front end for Radiance and can handle advancedHVAC system design and calibration.

benefits of industry integration in capstone projects are documented in prior literature.However, student led teaming with industry partners further enhances student learning in thefollowing program outcomes identified in the ‘a’ through ‘k’ ABET criteria as follows: (c) an ability to design a system ….within realistic constraints. As students explore and define the capstone project, they gain an understanding for the real life constraints such as budget, schedule, etc. (e) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems. Most engineering courses focus on solving the problem. The capstone experience is an ideal opportunity to allow students the experience of identifying and formulating the

course.IntroductionEngineering design projects that focus on real world problems can help prepare students for thechallenges that they will face later in research settings and industry. In some architectural and/orcivil engineering curricula, students are exposed to design in first-year and/or senior capstonecourses. In an existing academic curriculum that lacks first-year and/or senior capstone coursesit may not be feasible to add new courses that are entirely focused on design. As an alternative tostandalone design courses, design components can be integrated into other courses that arealready part of the curriculum.

. A completely new view isheld of what it is meant by learning and how it takes place.Is e-learning different from traditional teaching and learning? In e-learning, it is the learner, not the facilitator, who controls the learning pace andorder of learning experiences, and to a certain extent, the selection of which experiences area part of the course. Each learner may experience different learning outcomes through thesame curriculum. E-learning can take place when and where learners want it to, making iteasier to integrate learning with a definite procedure. However, e-learning is never morethan a mouse click from engaging or quitting. They can start or drop out at any moment.Web designers can never take the motivation of the learners
