Paper ID #38104Impact of the digital design process in an architectural engineeringtechnology program: Integration of advanced digital tools (work inprogress)Mr. Eugene Kwak, State University of New York, College of Technology at Farmingdale Eugene Kwak is a licensed architect and an assistant professor in the Department of Architecture and Construction Management at Farmingdale State College, State University of New York. He has been running research-based projects, including the most recent project ”Togather” which has been featured in the New York Times and Dwell. ”Togather” focuses on the regional food systems, land access
management in the design process. An additional question raised by Lee regarding the means and methods of providing studentswith “cost awareness” is inconclusive and reflects the diversity of the professionals surveyed. Insummary, Lee states architectural design education is more focused on the ideology of designinstead of socially responsible design, inferring that teaching students the relationship betweendesign and costs is both appropriate for the development of students who will be practical emerg-ing professionals. Davis, Fuller and Petry discuss the importance of making their architectural engineeringtechnology curriculum more integrative to reflect the actual practice of architecture that studentsemerging as professionals will
changes to anarchitectural engineering program in the Midwest. Responses were collected across 52 closedand eight open-ended items to gain an industry perspective on the relative importance of coursetopics in the curriculum, the selection of Architectural Engineering (AE) degree concentrationoptions, the format of graduate degree capstone projects, and the factors that AE&C employersconsider when hiring graduates and experienced employees. The curriculum changes inspired bythis survey are presented together alongside the program’s previous AE curriculum to morethoroughly characterize the program attributes that are desired by the AE&C industry.IntroductionThe Architectural Engineering (AE) program considered in this study is at the

their catastrophicconsequences. For this reason, building professionals play a crucial role in the design andconstruction of our existing built environment in seismic zones. The Pacific Ring of Fire is themost seismic zone of the planet. Therefore, the countries that are in this zone are more prone toearthquakes. In this sense, it is recommended that architecture students learn about seismology[14]. It is paramount that the architecture curriculum includes an appropriate design and correctspatial-dynamic analysis [15]. Considerations in the configuration of buildings such as, form,size, height, and materials used have a meaningful impact on how the structure performs duringan earthquake. All of these aspects are directly or indirectly related

of study? One method is to integrate them intocourses in the initial year of curriculums to allow interaction with students that could be effectivein retaining students in the program. Further study is needed on this topic, however, an initialreview of the changes made to the faculty included in beginning architectural design studios atOklahoma State University indicates that making these types of adjustments to beginning coursesmight be a step in the right direction.This study has some limitations, with one being that the survey was sent only to current studentsenrolled in the School of Architecture. To acquire a better understanding of why students haveleft their original major, the study could be expanded to include students who have
an architectural engineeringprogram in the Midwest with the intent of improving student retention and fostering feelings ofconnectedness. The program unites students across all years of the undergraduate program and5th year masters' students in groups mentored by professional engineers practicing in industry.The program was implemented within the curriculum of a required zero-credit hour seminarcourse and has expanded to include activities outside of class time. Prior retention theory andinterventions were considered to develop a robust assessment method with the goal of evaluatingthe impact of the mentoring program on student retention and connectedness in the classroom.Impact on retention was examined through term-to-term mentor group

, “Systemsthinking is formally introduced in early education. Systems engineering is a part of everyengineer’s curriculum and systems engineering at the university level is grounded in the theoreticalfoundations that spans the hard sciences, engineering, mathematics, and human and socialsciences” [12]. Thus, to fully incorporate the teaching of system architecture to undergraduatesrequires the inclusion of systems thinking competencies, hands-on experience with variousdecision analysis techniques (informal and formal methods) and an introduction to an ArchitectureDevelopment Method/Model Based Systems Architecture synthesis tool [1]. It should be notedthat industrial engineering programs, due to their roots of creating/improving systems [13], areusually

Almost habitually, all drivers apply hot air onto thefront windshield and activate heating cables embedded in the rear windshield. The lack of connectionbetween this everyday habitual

The results can be used to evaluate thestatic/dynamic nature of an academic program as a whole.References1. Hartman, J.C.
