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

desired program outcomes will also be outlined.2.0 Curriculum OverviewFigure 1 presents an overview of the new architectural engineering program. 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

and basic tools. Further, resources such as labspace, materials, and the time investment in working with these materials can present achallenge. Meyer shows the implementation of this strategy in a steel course by fabricating steelconnections from 1/8” thick plate and loading them to failure. [4] Stahl and DeVries discuss theadvantage to building a large frame and its many uses for full-scale structural testing at theMilwaukee School of Engineering. [5] Stahl’s paper also transparently outlined the numerousresources in both time and money that are required for such an instructional strategy. Estesshows this strategy implemented in a concrete structures course at the United States MilitaryAcademy. [6] This course heavily integrates fabrication
