) proposed a Universal Architecture Curriculum that combinedtopics in outer space and terrestrial architecture to benefit both disciplines.Architecture curriculum is rapidly evolving due to advancements in fabrication technologies andblurring of disciplinary boundaries. The scope for space architecture within terrestrial architecturalcurriculum has only gained more valence. In this spirit, the education of future space architectsand engineers may be best achieved by infusing existing architecture and architectural engineering(AE) programs with a degree or specialization in OSA. This paper provides the motivation andimportance of integrating OSA in architecture and AE curricula. The author expects to supplementthis paper in future with academic

Key Words: BIM, Engineering, Construction, CurriculumIntroductionBuilding information modeling (BIM) has increased at an exponential rate over the past decadein the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. BIM adoption has steadilyincreased since 2007; according to McGraw-Hill Construction’s Smart Market Report [1], 17%of AEC industry utilized BIM software systems in 2007, 49% in 2009, and 71% in 2012.

Collaborative project delivery systems now account for more than 50 percent ofall construction projects as compared to 10-15 percent twenty years ago.19 However, thesecollaborative project delivery systems alone do not ensure long term, sustainable collaboration.Increasingly, the amount of litigation in the area of Design-Build signals an underlying difficultyin establishing true collaborations within the context of contractually organized and controlleddelivery methods.

The challenge of any program assessmentprocess has always been the development of a structured, systematic, and effective process thatencompasses all stakeholders, and provides opportunity for continuous improvement, as poorlyconstructed assessments can lead to loss of time, money, and educators’ energy [3].

This wasthe first time the students encountered an authentic problem, which is a key component of PBL[4]. In this problem-solving process, faculty from the Department of Urban Horticulture &Design played a role as the consultants who provided input on a crop plan and planting schedule.This session helped the students to determine the location of vegetation, form, and orientation ofthe structure based on the solar exposure, sun path, circulation, and accessibility of the user.

gained. When students are involved in creating new artifacts, they are actively engaged in the subject matter. • Evaluate: At this stage, students are asked to judge an idea. This may involve predicting, experimenting, critiquing, or making an argument from evidence. • Analyze: Students begin to develop higher order thinking. They may be asked to compare and contrast or take a concept and break it into parts to explore the relationships present. • Apply: At this level, students begin to put the information they are learning into context. Here they are able to integrate ideas across multiple situations, or utilize the content in a new way. • Understand: At this level, students demonstrate that

However, infrastructure projects have typically been left out ofsustainable construction and teaching efforts, which may be due to the many additionalchallenges that integrating sustainability into an infrastructure project can represent.Sustainable infrastructure (SI) and infrastructure management (IM) are typically seen as twodifferent and distinct topics, and yet these are strongly related.

delivercontent. In construction engineering education, the curriculum ranges from the means andmethods for a construction process, to line items required for estimating a task, the time it takesto schedule an activity, to the required temporary structures for the completion of a constructionproject. As such, faculty should be engaging with a variety of learning styles in developing theirclass activities. Students in Construction Management/Engineering, and Architecture programsgenerally prefer two learning styles; visual and kinesthetic [1]. For this reason, the researchersdecided to develop an educational prop to instruct the means and methods required to construct aone-story concrete building, focusing on formwork, and placement of reinforcement
