with such mediums, as it generally requires proprietary hardware andsoftware. Further, developing even the most basic of applications can require advanced technical Page 23.485.2skill, making the field not only technologically inaccessible to students, but potentiallynegatively influencing their perceptions about computing. History has shown that over time bothof these barriers are typically lowered through decreased hardware costs and higher levels ofcode abstraction, enabling students to experiment with the technology and be creative in howthey apply it. Early adopters also have “bragging rights” among their peers, fostering a sense

Education of the ACM (ACM-SIGITE) conferenceproceedings supports this conclusion, with the majority of the published papers focusing on newtechnology developments that could be introduced into the classroom, with little or noconsideration of the educational curriculum architecture required or affected by these changes16.When it comes to rewards for educational design faculty tenure and promotion decisions incomputing disciplines are commonly based on successful research and peer-reviewed Page 22.874.3publication; upgrading curricula is seldom well recognized and rewarded for faculty in highereducation academic environments. Thus, in a rapidly

These people may talk for a long time about blue objects,thinking that they are discussing the same blue object, before they realize that one means a bluestar-shaped object, one means a blue triangle-shaped object, and one means a blue diamond-shaped object.An IT professional named “Bob” is instructed to develop software for the military. The softwareis intended to support the action of “securing” headquarters. • For the Navy, Bob needs to write financial support software that would enable them to issue a purchase order for the building • For the Air Force, Bob creates software that automatically locks the doors and switches on the alarm system. • For the Army, Bob needs to develop a program

Architec-ture students can provide. It is this synergy that results from each discipline contributing to thesuccess of the other that makes for a better overall product that is both a unique architecturalpresentation and a visually exciting and engaging game design.Current Status and Future Plans As of this writing, we are entering the last weeks of fall semester 2013 and planning forthe “pitch” in spring 2014. Although the plans for the pitch are still fluid, the concept of the col-laborative will continue to acknowledge the synergy from our unique perspectives and to contin-ue to emphasize the importance of a team-approach in the design and production of the architec-tural product and game design product. We are faced with the challenge
