However the literature on these courses is of limited relevance andprovides limited guidance. Although the courses described in this paper have aninterdisciplinary component, they are not really interdisciplinary. They teach structuralengineering skills and principals to non-engineering (ARCH and CM) students but do notcontain the content of multiple disciplines and do not function as interdisciplinary courses.Saliklis, et al describe the different curriculum approaches typically employed for architecturaland engineering programs8.

Architecture by its very nature is connected to other disciplines, yet architecturaleducation is often criticized for a lack of integration in the curriculum.

Until 2008, the architectural engineering program was mainly orientedtoward HVAC system design. In 2009, however, the first 5000 level course in mechanical optionwas taught during the fall semester. The fourth major change was accomplished in 2009 andwill be in application starting from 2010-2011. Three areas have been introduced to thecurriculum: Energy, Fire protection, Plumbing, and Building Electrical Systems.

requirements as five-yearprograms compared to four-year programs. Regarding ABET, all programs comply with thesemester hour count in the three areas required: general (one semester), mathematics and science(one year), and engineering (one an one-half years). It is the hope of the author that this discussionwill start a national dialog regarding the requirements for the architectural engineering programsin the US. It appears that the four year curriculum is serving the architectural community well;however, with the new national movement in engineering to move to the Masters Degree (orequivalent 30+ graduate hours) as the first professional degree, it might reasonable to assume thatthe five year programs already meet this criterion. Another issue that

Thedesign concerns the creation of a new product (in our case the product is a building, buildingcomponent, mechanical or electrical system) and the troubleshooting involves fixing an existingproduct using a sequential diagnostic.In this paper, we introduce how these two

Therefore a more effective strategy may lie in re-conceptualizing conceptual design by utilizing processes that embrace and exploit computation.Generative design approaches have emerged from the search for strategies to facilitate theexploration of alternative solutions in design, using computers as variance-producing engines tonavigate large solution spaces and to achieve unexpected but viable solutions.

Much like the program at KFUPM,the dual career oriented curriculum at Princeton focuses on “core engineering courses inmath, science, and engineering science … [and] core program courses in architecture” 9.A large difference between the KFUPM program and the Princeton program is thatKFUPM actually developed a new department specifically for “architectural engineering”while Princeton’s students enrolled in the curriculum simply take courses from twodifferent departments, in fact, “most of the courses are part of regular non-programofferings” 9. This could be the reason why the program only accredits the engineeringportion of the curriculum. The four year architecture program at Princeton awards an A.Bdegree, which is

It appeared that the building structure was a separateand isolated topic receiving inconsistent emphasis in the architectural studios. As part of a largerreconfiguration of the five course structural engineering sequence, a culminating structuralengineering course was created that would directly provide this structural integration.This new course, ARCE 316 Structural Integration in Architecture, has some traditionalstructural content. However the unique aspect of this course is the integration of ARCE facultyinto Architecture studios. Each ARCE section is associated with two

focuses primarily on new buildings. Architecture students have relatively little exposure to concepts related to the evaluation of existing buildings, retrofit design or approaches to protecting historic structures. Although computer aided design methods are used extensively in schools of architecture, fewer than half of the faculty teaching seismic design ask students to use computer models of building performance in their study of structural concepts. The majority of faculty members teaching seismic design in schools of architecture are structural engineers. 70% of the instructors surveyed reported that their highest degree was in engineering. 30% have degrees in architecture

First, the use of building performance simulation provides a horizon uponwhich to ground the design of a building. Too often contemporary architecture students aretaught to exercise unbridled formal ambitions that lack grounding in engineering, costestimation, or constructability. While teaching design is a critical aspect of architecturaleducation, it must be balanced with an approach that grounds architecture within its broaderframework of collaboration.
