potential to improve the designprocess. Therefore, the demand for adapting the use of virtual reality environments in thearchitecture industry has increased over the past two decades. If academia is aligned with industry,students will be better prepared for integration into the workplace. As a result, the integration ofvirtual reality into the architectural curriculum is an educational imperative. The long term goal of this project is to incorporate VR into design studios and build avirtual reality lab for architecture students at Western Kentucky University. This study describesthe overview of the ongoing integration of virtual reality (VR) environments within theArchitectural Science program. A pilot study was conducted prior to

ARCE curriculum requires upper-division students to complete three structural design labcourses on steel, timber/masonry, and concrete. In each, students have a culminating projectwhere they assemble a complete calculation and drawing package for an assigned building; thesesubmittals often involve 2-3 students and hundreds of pages of documents. The ARCE 451faculty elected to grade student submittals in Bluebeam (a tool utilized in the industry review andpermitting process) to provide feedback to the students.

Highlights of thisprogram include the following: 1) the students alternate between academic and coop work terms,with the exception of having two back-to-back academic terms in their fourth year; 2) each termfeatures a studio course – as mentioned earlier, each of these courses will involve the planningand execution of a series of design projects that integrate and put into practice concepts coveredin the other courses the students will be taking; 3) the core courses in the first two years are builton the established civil, environmental, and geological engineering programs at the sameinstitution, and
entire class or for smaller groups. Group projects are also important to build community. Collaborations should have a decreasingly graduated scale of engagements The idea is to sequence the activities from large to small where the entire learning community is engaged in the beginning before entering more isolating group and individual projects. For example, the course might begin with an ice breaker activity, proceed to class discussion board, group projects, and then conclude with individual projects and reflections. Integrate team building activities The premise is that the students are part of a cohort graduating class of peers that could act as a support network. A course might include specific activities that
architectural design course is one of two design options offered by theconstruction division, and has been taught since 1990. Moreover, the construction engineeringdiscipline is the integrating element of this program curriculum (see [7] for more background).Over the years, both architects and civil engineers have taught the course. The ArchitecturalDesign course replaced an older architectural drafting course and focused on residential designfrom 1990-2014. Students designed a house for a client or their future selves as a vehicle tolearn computer-aided drafting (CAD). As CAD programs evolved and became more powerful,the students were able to create more elaborate and often unrealistic “dream houses” in a singlesemester.While the course was very

The scope for space architecture within terrestrial architecturalcurriculum has only gained more valence. In this spirit, the education of future space architectsand engineers may be best achieved by infusing existing architecture and architectural engineering(AE) programs with a degree or specialization in OSA. This paper provides the motivation andimportance of integrating OSA in architecture and AE curricula. The author expects to supplementthis paper in future with academic
