For example, there are extremely largeprojects (e.g., Keetwonen, Amsterdam1) that utilize more than one thousand containers for thecreation of experimental student living quarters. Similarly, in 2008, in Uxbridge, London, aneight-story, hundred-room Travelodge hotel was built using intermodal shipping containers2.These are just two extreme examples of what can be done by using shipping containers ininnovative ways.

One of the most significant of these challenges is the need to work within theframework of integrated project delivery where all disciplines work as a cohesive team toproduce a project. In 2004, the Construction Management Department at California PolytechnicState University in San Luis Obispo,CA began teaching a three credit hour design/build coursefocused on integrated project delivery. That course, taught primarily to construction managementstudents, has now evolved into a true interdisciplinary experience that

Ideally, an advisory board should teamwith the school to drive the strategic direction while providing advice on various importantissues. Having the right group of people on the board is a key factor in determining howeffective it will be. But, who are the “right” people? And, how should they be organized?According to many academic leaders, the board should be made up of a small, select group ofpeople with a variety of

c American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 Contextual Learning Concepts Drive Architectural Education to Partner with IndustryIntroductionThe field of architecture is people oriented, which cannot be practiced in isolation. From conceptto completion the focus is always on the end user. According to Gutman, buildings are objects ofuse apart from being objects of pleasure [1]. Architecture is so essentially a social art that noarchitect can talk about his (or her) medium or about his (or her) schemes without reference tohow they will be used by people [1]. Once the idea for a facility has been conceptualized, thedesigner begins to conceptualize solutions for that particular structure, while taking

These challenges include global competition, intelligent technology,and a constantly changing work environment. But the speed with which this civilizationcontinues to advance is fundamentally challenging the way in which engineering is practiced andthe way in which engineering and engineering technology students are educated.
