AC 2010-493: INTEGRATING SUSTAINABILITY INTO STUDIO DESIGNCURRICULUMDaniel Davis, University of Hartford Page 15.774.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2010 INTEGRATING SUSTAINABILITY INTO STUDIO DESIGN CLASS CURRICULUMAbstractAt the University of Hartford, we have established an architectural program founded onintegration. 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

of multi-disciplinary studies into the viability ofconverting used shipping containers into an Intermodal Steel Building Unit (ISBU) studentdormitory. Initial studies are slated to begin in January, 2010 and will follow upon those studiesnoted in this paper that were conducted at IUPUI.Students in the third year of the Architectural Engineering Technology program at CNA inCanada will be conducting detailed technical design studies in three key areas of this applicationunder cold climate conditions, while ensuring that all applicable codes and life-safety standardsare met. These particular studies include: ≠ Investigation into options for exterior cladding systems; ≠ Design and integration of all mechanical and

He is now a major proponent of the Bedford Program within the School of Engineering and anticipates future collaborative work with the School of Architecture to develop formal assessment processes for continuous improvement of the program.Mark Mistur, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Mark Mistur is the Associate Dean of Architecture and Associate Professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute where he has been instrumental in developing a curriculum based on the inclusion of theoretical, design, and technical intelligences as necessarily integral to a progressive architectural design. His teaching and research focuses on innovations driven both by

-disciplinary capstoneapproach was developed: ≠ Multiple discipline capstone ≠ Heightened collaboration ≠ Increased use of technology ≠ More complete building code complianceAs a result, a new capstone curriculum was developed to more closely simulate the industrytrend toward integrated project delivery. Spring 2009 was the first implementation of this newstrategy.G. Integrated Project Design/DeliveryIn an effort to prepare both students and faculty for the challenge of moving to a morecompletely Integrated Project Design/Delivery (IPD) model of capstone course, funding wassecured by the department chair to bring in an expert lecturer in IPD. While serving as aprofessor of architecture, this instructor has developed a broad background in

previous efforts included:CM 431 Integrated Project Services: This three unit lab-based course provides an overview ofproject delivery methods with an emphasis on trends in integrated services project delivery. CMand ARCH students used a real project to integrate planning, design and construction efforts toachieve maximum project quality and value. The course enrolls up to 50 students.ARCE 460 Collaborative Design Laboratory: The course offered to ARCH and ARCEstudents investigated the collaborative nature of the design process as it relates to the structuralengineer and architect. This course enrolled up to 16 students.EDES 406 Sustainable Environments / EDES 408 Implementing Sustainable PrinciplesThe sequence covers two quarters and represents a

and design principles that need to be mastered in structuraldesign. However when the theories are exemplified in a virtual environment with multimedia,animation, interaction, and manipulated image visualization techniques in a virtual realityenvironment, students' conceptual understanding are enhanced.Visualization has always been an important aspect in the construction industry and constructioneducation has always laid stress on that aspect. Design professionals and educators used drawingas a practical tool for seeing, thinking and understanding their ideas, and for communicatingthem to others. In education, drawing was often woven tightly into curriculum and it wasexpected to play a major role in developing students’ visual abilities
