The first will highlight each community outreach program theschool offers. The second will summarize a survey of the school’s current students. The surveywill cover students’ exposure to the school’s programs and any subsequent impact on their careerchoices. It will also poll the students on any P-12 exposure to architecture or architecturalengineering they may have experienced.Introduction:Studies have shown that children consider careers much earlier than thought. By age 7, childrenhave realistic career aspirations (Moulton, et al, 2014). During developmental stages, childrenwill shape these aspirations based on

Althougharchitecture students do take technical courses there is good evidence to suggest thatstudents do not absorb this knowledge (or indeed many other types of knowledge) whenit presented in lecture format without a design context.

It is thus important for the student engaged in acommunity project to first learn the needs of the community. Traditional design pedagogy pluscommunity service learning provide students complimentary vehicles in which to refine theirdesigns in ways that deepen their understanding and learning7, 8. Through the partnership withNGOs, the experiences enable students to create products that have a significant impact on thecommunity9.

Samuel Mockbee was quoted from a conference held at PrincetonUniversity to say, “The practice of architecture… also requires active civic engagement. It is inour own self-interest to assert our ethical values and our talents as citizen architects.” [5] Theproject in its current state was clearly disengaging students from reality, culture, and the truerichness of designing to exist and engage within a project’s community. The students needed tobe taught the ethical values and influence they can have on the human

We learned paradoxicallythat a course of this nature needs to have considerable structure so that communicationswill have the effect of being natural.

A 1980 study by the ACSA, Tracking Study of Architecture Graduates, revealed almost identical concerns, as did the 1996 Building Community report as well as others before and after. None of these studies concluded that education is hopelessly flawed, but instead, that there is ample room for improvement on all fronts—if we do, in fact, agree that these are crucial skill sets needed to operate in the design and construction industries.”2Previous studies by one of our authors have found that architecture students value technicalcompetency

These delivery models emphasize the economic benefits of workingcollaboratively, but more importantly opening up the lines of communication during the workflow process - from design through construction and continuing through occupancy.
