-accredited architectural engineering programs in the United States,out of which four four-year Bachelor’s programs were accredited in the last 10 years. It isanticipated that an additional four architectural engineering programs will seek accreditationwithin the next four years. A literature review conducted in 2005 on curriculum content inAmerican architectural engineering programs shows significant agreement on five essentialknowledge areas: mathematics and sciences, general education, engineering, architecture, andtechnical electives (Estrada, 2006). It also demonstrated that variations are mainly related to: a)the duration of the course of study – four-year versus five-year degree programs and b) where theprogram is being housed – in a college

Keep in mind that advisory groups do not have formal authority togovern the organization, that is, they cannot issue directives that must be followed. Rather,advisory groups serve to make recommendations and/or provide key information, materials, andresources to the program’s leadership.3We have been fortunate to attract industry leaders from different parts of the constructionindustry to actively participate on the advisory board and

The ARCHDepartment requested an explicit integration of structural engineering content into their upperdivision third year studios. The solution, which served both departments, was composed of twoactions. One was to consolidate the content of the final two courses into a single abbreviatedcourse entitled Introduction to Structural Design. This course is being taken by both ARCH andCM students. This created the opportunity to create a course integrated into the third yeararchitecture studios and taken solely by ARCH students. This course, ARCE 316, is entitledStructural Integration in Architecture.The new sequence

The Engine basedwalkthrough allows users to navigate virtual environments from an ultra-realistic first personvantage point, creating the illusion of actually seeing the environment from the character’s pointof view. For architecture students the added realism of these models can enhance understandingof their own design in relation to time, space, environment, and scale. Add interactive elementslike lighting, sound, triggered events, animations, and artificial intelligence and the realism of the3D model can be enhanced even further.

Theyallow students to learn, research, and network with faculty and business leaders fromdifferent disciplines and programs. And they encourage collaboration and experientiallearning for under- and upperclassmen alike.Innovation spaces thus foster entrepreneurship among students in two ways: byallowing them to begin to envision themselves as practicing engineers — and gain therequired skills that will help them get there — and also by helping them engage directlywith community business leaders.
