taped to display boards. Digital presentations may or may not have been part of the capstone output requirement. ≠ Small scale projects ≠ Minimal collaboration, with student teams acting very independently.For example, in the 2008 academic year, MET students designed a conversion kit to convert a 2-cycle inboard sailboat engine to electric power complete with wind, solar, and tow generatorbattery recharge systems. While this was going on, the Architectural and Civil studentscollaborated on a small-scale building design. However, the HVAC students, with second groupof Architectural students, conducted an energy audit for a local business concern. Of course, theEnvironmental students operated on their own dealing with

studioand extended this research into net-zero infill projects for US automobile businessstrips. The studio‟s approach reinforces the need to integrate performance-orienteddesign into current pedagogical practices to effectively address energy andsustainability issues faced by architecture today.In terms of curriculum approaches, the University of Minnesota has explored developingnew graduate-level courses that integrate architecture and landscape architecturearound energy and water conservation. The courses were designed to explore the toolsand resources that can integrate net-zero20 energy and water strategies and metrics inthe early design of campus buildings and landscapes. The curriculum has developedfive courses that range from one week

graduates to meet evolving demands of the buildingsector and societal expectations for the built environment.The entire process included three critical phases, aided by strong industry consultation: - Validation of need for architectural engineers - Definition of skills and competencies - Rubric design & curriculum mappingOver the course of the program’s development, industry input and engagement was sought andsecured through surveys, interviews, and half-day workshops. The end state was thedevelopment of an Industry Advisory Panel, whose members are now fully engaged in thecurriculum content and delivery, with scheduled plans on collaborative projects, site visits, andinternships. Historically, industry engagement in engineering

five to ten years, a shift has taken place within engineering schools nationwidetoward greater engagement of students through experiential, hands-on learning opportunities.This evolution began with the move of intensive experimental and project-based labwork fromthe postgraduate to undergraduate level. Now, there is a strong interest in introducing hands-onlearning — including opportunities to collaborate with professors and postdoctoral students onnew research — during a student’s first year.For many underclassmen this change has meant the welcome injection of lab and project workinto a curriculum traditionally given over to didactic math and science prerequisites. It has led togrowing contact and collaboration among underclassmen and

algorithm (Kolarevic & Parlac, 2015).Electro-mechanical technology used in responsive facades is a mature technology. Electro-mechanical technology is considered to be reliable technology, which possesses significantadvantages such as standardization of parts, modularized design components, inexpensive initialcost, and centralized monitoring and control (Decker & Zarzycki, 2013). The drawbacks of thistechnology include complexity of heavy mechanical parts (Tashakori, 2014), high potential failureof material fatigue (Kolarevic & Parlac, 2015), difficulty in parts replacement, high costs inmaintenance and repairing (Adriaenssens et al., 2014), limited components durability (Khoo,2013), dependency on electrical powers (Adriaenssens et al

Page 24.670.5 Figures 1& 2We began with the students taking photographs of the everyday Rwandan environment such ashomes, streets, new high-rises and roundabouts. They then depicted the photographs in free-formtext in English - a third or fourth language for most students (Figure 1 & 2). 6 The curriculum wasadopted from the Photography and Literacy (PAL) Project by Stephen Mahan and MichaelBurkard
