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

These budgets are created based on project history, plus the knowledge oflocal site attributes and contingencies associated with the specific project type to be designed.The typical budgeting models used lack specificity and do not address enough variables for atypical pre-design budget requirement.

Students in our BSc (Honours) BIM program, as a resultof our masters, have a scaffolded pathway leading to a level 9 qualification in BIM.The BSc (Honours) and MSc programs require students to conduct research in the form of adissertation and capstone project, respectively. The significant collection of documents producedby students and teachers in these programs includes BIM-focused conference publications,industry reports, and research thesis papers published at the BSc (honours), Master’s, and Ph.D.levels.BSc research at TU Dublin typically provides a synthesis of existing publications on a topic ofrelevance in Ireland.

, and use engineering judgment todraw conclusions. The breadth of this requirement may be achieved by wide varieties of pedagogicalapproaches. Regardless, the core challenges facing students are: recognizing the actual problem, developingpotential solutions, applying experimental methods, understanding the significance of appropriate datacollection, and ability to execute engineering judgement. These outcomes is often realized in labs and upperlevel courses once technical knowledge is solidly mastered. Mapping learning outcomes in the architecturalengineering program, we recognized the need to institute a disciplined inquisitive mindset early on,therefore, establishing the foundation for future advanced coursework.

Ourprogram focuses on professional practice of building design and construction, and the interactionof the students in the two majors is a precursor to what they will encounter upon graduation andentrance into the professions. The programs are currently structured such that students take manyof the same courses at the start of the curriculums, before dividing and concentrating on thecourses that make their majors unique. At the end of the curriculum, the students come backtogether in the capstone design course, where they act on interdisciplinary teams to arrive atsolutions for a semester-long building project.
