undergraduate architectural engineering programs beingdeveloped. By focusing on the accreditation programs provided by ABET (the AccreditationBoard for Engineering and Technology) and CEAB (the Canadian Engineering AccreditationBoard). In the U.S., the original accrediting body was the Engineers Council for ProfessionalDevelopment, which was founded in 1932. In 1980, the name was changed to the AccreditationBoard for Engineering and Technology and in 2005, the name was changed to the acronymABET [1], which is advised or sponsored by the Architectural Engineering Institute (AEI).CEAB was founded in 1965 as a subcommittee of Engineers Canada to ensure the quality of theengineering undergraduate programs delivered in the country [2].Based on the programs

Integration, TechnicalAssessmentIntroduction Architectural engineering (AE) undergraduate programs, and more broadly, all engineeringprograms, provide authentic engineering design experiences through capstone courses [1-3]. Whenstructured properly [4], capstones provide excellent opportunities for assessing student knowledge [5],developing new leaders [6], bridging fundamental knowledge with practical settings [7], showcasinginnovative technologies and design approaches [8], and more. Compounding factors for AE capstones existacross the 27 ABET accredited programs in the United States, such as the types of courses offered, the levelof industry connection, the size of the program, the duration of the degree, and where the AE program issituated

, science, and engineering, besides studio-based courses appliedto building construction. Similarly, civil engineering courses in design around the world havemostly focused on timber, masonry, reinforced concrete, and steel structures. However, increasedglobal warming in recent years due to greenhouse gas emissions, coupled with the need forenergy efficient buildings, has resulted in several architecture programs including at OklahomaState University to offer courses on sustainable building design, covering topics on buildingenergy modeling.The growing interest in energy efficient buildings has resulted in building facades beingconstructed of different materials, such as wood, sheet metal, glass, aluminum, and vinyl [1]. Afaçade is considered a

on two aspects: 1) identifying the core competencies using the University’sarchitectural engineering Program Educational Outcomes (PEO) aspirations, ABET outcomes,and National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) competencies, and 2) providing amechanism to integrate such competencies using a foundational architectural engineering courseat the University as a pilot. In the paper, we provide future directions for such integrations forcourses and probable suggestions for evaluating the effectiveness of these integrations onstudents' success and career readiness.IntroductionArchitectural engineering helps students gain practice and theoretical knowledge of theengineering design of high-performance buildings and their systems.

2019, our university Tecnológico de Monterrey, rolled out its new educationalmodel called Tec21 across all programs, including engineering. In this model, the semesterperiods were divided into three periods of 5 weeks each, where subjects from the previouscurriculum, which lasted 18 weeks, were condensed into a 5-week teaching period. Thisapproach was based on entirely focusing students on a thematic area (Fig.1).In the Tec21 curriculum plans [1-5], each thematic block is structured with several moduleson related themes and a challenge (linked project), which must be addressed by developingskills derived from the deployment of the modules. All challenges are linked to real-worldenvironmental problems through Educational Partners (companies

Lagaros and Plevris [1] state, “AI methodologies have found a wide range ofuses and applications in engineering field, including civil and structural engineering, with impressiveresults.” Additionally, Huu-Tai Thai [2] provides a compressive review regarding machine learningfor structural engineering that includes a large number of applications where AI is already being usedin the structural engineering profession. While these references do list practical uses for AI within thefield of structural engineering, it is apparent that a background in this technology would be requiredto develop or even use some of the engineering applications that are discussed. The reality

The educational component of the project pivots on empoweringstudents to actively engage in the upkeep of the botanical wall, bridging the chasm betweentheoretical knowledge and real-world application.In consonance with the integration of technological tools in botanical pedagogy, previous studiesunderscored the pivotal role of innovative instrumentation in STEM education, exemplified bythe Esque Box [2].

As the use of green roofs becomes more prevalent, an evaluation ofthe benefits and challenges may be something architectural engineering programs choose toincorporate into their curriculum. This paper aims to consider the particular challenge of addedweight to a roof structure, with the understanding that the addition of structural material tosupport this load must be considered alongside operational energy benefits that a green roofprovides. In addition, the research herein provides a methodological framework for evaluatingthe efficacy of energy-saving strategies in general, including relevant software tools
